"This is the 2nd time I've used Freeborne and I would definitely have them back again. They built a 12' X 16' enclosed room on a 2nd story deck and it came out great. Lenny, Scott and crew knew what we wanted and exceeded our expectations without over complicating the project. There were no budget surprises either. The amount we discussed at the beginning was what we were charged. If I could I would use them to do projects inside of the house!"

"Excellent experience from estimating to job completion. Express Fencing showed up for estimate within scheduled window. They completed the job in one day (on time and when they promised), and showed up next day to finish a repair for which additional parts were needed."

"House looks great.  Many boards on deck and ramp were loose, originally nailed - replaced with screws.  Hinged a section of lattice for accessibility and screwed in place.  Stain was hand brushed, not rolled.  Even the lattice was stained.  No delays or interuptions.  Different crews for different jobs. Crews were courteous, very professional-they knew their stuff.

"Excellent work and reasonable pricing. Andres and his team were very professional and meticulous. The deck came out great and the overall painting looks flawless. As Andres promised, the preparation was well done and had produced great results. His team was careful in protecting my property and were very friendly and accommodating in handling all of my requests. They really went out of their way to earn my satisfaction. Would highly recommend."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could build a floating deck in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.

Yes, you can build a pool deck yourself, but it takes precision, a lot of time, and many specific tools. You’ll need to create a deck plan, be careful with measurements, cut each piece of wood, secure the pieces properly, and ensure the deck meets building codes. Building a deck around a pool is a rewarding DIY, but it’s time- and labor-intensive, so thoughtfully consider your abilities and the time you have before embarking on this DIY.

Both composite and PVC decking are excellent alternatives to wood. However, while composite is moderately priced and lasts around 30 years, PVC costs more and lasts longer. PVC is also more durable, though both materials are more durable than wood decking. Ultimately, the choice between composite and PVC decking will come down to your budget and preferences.
