"Prompt, reliable, and professional service. Good communication with Steve via email and Dennis on site before, during, and after the project was completed. Fair price for the job and good workmanship. I have already recommended them to others. I had them replace the railing, treads, and bottom platform of an outdoor staircase leading up to a second story deck."

"Initially, I thought that the price was a little high, but after we saw the quality of the work performed, I had no complaints. Derek and crew spent substantial time prepping the ceiling and walls and the excellent results showed it.  Great care was taken to cover furniture and rugs.  Derek was very professional and a pleasure to work with.  I would definitely use him again and would recommend him to others.

Danette is the person you'll talk with in scheduling appointments. She is very friendly and helpful and a pleasure to talk with.  Her husband, Jenk, came to my home to give an estimate for taking down an existing fence and replacing it with white vinyl.  He arrived promptly and was friendly, yet very professional in measuring and explaining the quality of the product he installs.  He was very helpful in trying to save me money on this project and in keeping the price affordable.  Jenk was also kind enough to perform a couple of tasks which were necessary before the job could be done.  I had read many reviews about fence installers and Jenk came very highly recommended and lived up to all the comments I had read.  His estimate was the best I received, but I think I would have chosen his company, even if it wasn't, because of his sincerity in wanting to do the best job possible to please his customers.

I hired Express Fencing to install over 425 feet of vinyl privacy fencing.  The workers were very efficient, quiet, hard working men who stayed well past dark to get the job done.  They did a beautiful job with the fence and left my property looking far better than when they started.  Jenk was there at the beginning of the project to mark out the fence and get the job started and was there the last day to install gates and finishing touches to  make sure the job was finished to perfection.  You can tell that he has pride in his work and will go out of his way to make his customers happy.  You won't be disappointed in hiring this company, I highly recommend Express Fencing.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro. 

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.
