"John and Lou were very professional and did a great job on power washing, sanding, and staining my large deck. They went out of their way to make sure everything worked out. The deck looks amazing now, it's the best I've seen it look in many years. John had great recommendations to make based on his expertise such as the stain type and color to use as well using great methods to ensure the final product came out excellent. Would hire again and recommend their services to anyone."

"Jose is a great guy. However, his crew rushed through my home and missed a lot of drywall repairs that we discussed ahead of the painting. I wound up touching them up myself. I also asked Jose to have his crew remove any outlet and switch covers before painting. Some they did and some they didn't. Again, while replacing covers, I needed to touch up their paint work. After spending several thousands of dollars, I don't want to be bothered with going back over the contractor's work."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.
