"JM turned a beat up, large backyard deck into a gem. Easy to work with and can offer suggestions of different aspects of the project. They took great care with a wisteria we've had for years that has wrapped around a portion of the deck's railing. I would definitely hire this company again."

"JNA were phenomenal. Neat, clean and professional. My wife and I highly recommend them. They repaired our kitchen ceiling that caved in due to a leak, put up new sheet rock, sanded down including the walls where there were distortions and painted the entire kitchen and moldings. We will definitely be calling on them again in the future."

"Sandro and his team did excellent work, professional and great customer service. He wanted us to be more than satisfied with the work. I was very happy with the results. I thought my deck was beyond repair with the dirt and mold but with a thorough cleaning, light resurfacing and stain of my choice it is as good new."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

You can nail or screw composite decking, but 3-inch decking screws are the better fastener choice. Unlike nails, decking screws won’t back out of the composite material over time. There’s also little danger of splitting composite material when driving screws, so you don’t need to pre-drill holes unless otherwise recommended by your decking manufacturer.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.

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.
