"Excellent. My deck looks brand new. I did not think the deck would come out looking like I just had it installed. I am very happy with the results. Rich gave me a fair price and got the job done in a timely fashion. Thanks Rich. I will surely call on you in the future."

"I took a chance with CSZ construction because Home Advisor reviewers were so positive-- and I am glad I did. Cesar, the owner, is a very competent professional who did most of the work himself. He weatherproofed my balcony door, fixed a window and replaced the water line of my refrigerator. His prices are very competitive and he will be my go-to repairman from now on."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work from Prescion Home Repair! They installed my railing and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. They were incredibly kind, professional, and easy to work with, and they really took the time to stay within my budget without compromising on quality. The craftsmanship is outstanding—the railing looks amazing and feels extremely solid and well-built. You can tell they take pride in their work. I highly recommend Prescion Home Repair to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality home improvement work!"

"Could not have gone better. I have had a lot of work done on my house in the past 2 years (basement remodel, hall bath, master bath, attic, MAJOR landscape with double wall, drainage and complete remodel and this was by far teh best work that has been done. Exceeded my expectations in every way. I got quotes from 5 deck companies and nobody came close to Freebourne's price and there is no way that anyone could exceed their service and quality of work. It probably goes without saying, I would definitely recommend Freebourne to anyone."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface 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 essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

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.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation or substructure for support. This base is typically a frame composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame can be built from various materials, such as composite, plastic, timber, or metal, depending on your budget, deck type, and environmental conditions. For maximum stability, a professional deck builder may recommend installing this frame on top of a solid concrete base. It is best to discuss the most suitable substructure design and materials for your specific project with a professional.
