"We hired Jr to repair our deck. He came very quickly to give us an estimate. He was very professional and honest about the work and what it would entail. He was in contact with us through the whole job. He repaired our decks with efficiency. We were so happy with the deck repairs we hired him to do a new wall for our driveway. Everything came out amazing. I will keep Jr's number and recommend him to anyone."

"Did a wonderful job and takes pride in his work. He was adding a railing to the stairs and replacing stair treads and discovered problems with the raisers. Replaced those as well and provided a competitive price for the amount of work that was completed. We had specific concerns about having this done quickly. Gavin assisted in making sure that he was able to complete the stairs on time despite the additional work. We were happy with the work and outcome."

"Amazing Company. I’m so glad I called them. They are so pleasant and were able to send someone very quickly for a leak repair. Keith was friendly and professional. He went over everything with me and I found them to be really affordable. I would recommend this business to anyone looking to have leak repair work done. I feel safer knowing everything was installed by a professional. Five stars for me."

"Working with Kelleher General Contracting was a great experience from start to finish. Michael came to look at the job and emailed us a quote the same day. He completely understood everything that we wanted in our new deck and he even added things we weren’t expecting. Michael was always in touch with us giving updates about the next steps in the project. If we reached out to him with a question, he always responded quickly. The deck is even better than what we were expecting and really sturdy and well constructed. We would highly recommend Kelleher to anyone who’s in need of a general contractor."

"There are a lot of great things to say about Bill. First of all, he can do ANYTHING. Bill replaced siding, installed new plywood and Tyvec, painted my house and deck, built a new front porch, repaired and built new features on my back deck, eliminated rot, installed new gutters, re-insulated my basement, and even fixed a closet door in my house. He is a perfectionist and will treat your house like it is his own. Our house was in really rough shape before Bill came and now it looks stunning. We get compliments on it all the time. If you want someone that will do the job right, won't cut corners, and is a very nice person to work with - Bill is your guy."

"I highly recommend Boyd Builders. My sunroom and deck were coming away from the house. Shawn jacked up both replaced footings, posts and drain pipes. Budget was clear from the start. He is professional and exceptional in his work. I have already recommended him to friends."

Deck Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

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.

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. 

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

Yes, using sustainable materials and recycled composites offer green solutions.
