"Greg did an excellent job with our deck. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs their deck fixed. He was flexible enough to arrange payments using credit cards as well and that meant a lot."

"Tom is very efficient and thorough.. Double checks with homeowner to make sure all is well l from looking inside out. I would suggest, if you're only getting the outside windows cleaned, that you clean the windows on the inside first. I did, and it was easier for Tom to make the corrections to the buffing. Tom was a very pleasant man, and we highly recommend him. Very, very reasonable!."

"I would like to share that Econo was quick and efficient. Perry came and looked at the job, gave me a very fair price. Next day he came and completed two decks with sealant. I'm happy with the outcome."

"Ralph arrived after a few days bad weather cleared out. He worked hard assuring that my property had a thorough leaf cleanup as well as cutting back plantings on two large area pollinator gardens. We discussed next springs lawn/farden plans and i plan to have Ralph return next March-April-. Seeing the property looking so neat really helped with the holidays upon us."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

Finding a reputable deck builder should start with speaking with a local company and asking for samples of past work and references. You can review the company’s workmanship and speak with past customers to learn what the customer service was like throughout the process. It’s also a good idea to read online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to see if the company has a history of customer complaints. If you can get a referral from a family member or friend, that’s another great option.

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.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.
