"Deck Doctor did a fantastic job from start to finish on our project. Calvin came out and met with us, worked with us to determine the best set up for our deck rebuild and got the work scheduled in a timely manner. Calvin was very professional, and truly dedicated to providing top notch service. The crew that came out was absolutely wonderful. You could tell that they truly cared about doing the job correctly. The deck we replaced was falling apart, the new deck not only looks great, but is built solid. I would recommend Deck Doctor to anyone looking for deck repair / rebuild."

"Had an old wooden retaining wall replace with block. Price was great and wall looks awesome! The workers were friendly and professional. Helped me out with a few extras. I think I didn’t explain one part of what I wanted very well. They came back out and made sure I was satisfied. I am now looking at another project for them since that one went so well. They were always quick to respond and we got it scheduled and completed way faster than expected even with a couple rain days."

"Joe and his team were very professional, efficient, honest and extremely fair with the prices. Joe’s a former service member so I felt good about working with another veteran. They did an amazing job on my fence, and repaired it so well it almost looked new, despite it being an old fence. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a repair or replacement."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Floating decks are a cost-effective and versatile option, but they come with some compromises. Since they sit on smaller footings instead of being deeply anchored, they’re more likely to shift over time, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or freeze-thaw conditions. Their low-to-the-ground design makes them more susceptible to moisture buildup and potential water damage.

Yes, Ipe is more expensive than Trex decking—both in terms of materials and installation (plus, Ipe trees are endangered). On average, Ipe decking costs $10 to $25 per square foot, while Trex decking costs $5 to $12 per square foot. Because Ipe is harder to work with, the price of installation is higher, too. For Ipe decking, you’ll pay between $20 and $45 per square foot for labor. However, with Trex decking, the labor costs range from $8 to $22 per square foot.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

While eco-friendly decking, also called composite decking, is a win for the environment because it consists of recycled materials, it has trade-offs. These sustainable options often come with steeper price tags, lack natural wood's warm look, and can become uncomfortably hot under full sun. Some composite materials can also become slick when wet, posing a potential hazard.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation.
