"I was very pleased with this company from my first contact to schedule an appointment for an estimate. Frank Jager was punctual, knowledgeable, and worked within my budget. He explained the work that would be done. answered my questions, and left a detailed written estimate. The power washing was completed in one day, and the sanding and sealing done a few days later after the wood had thoroughly dried. The repair of the rear paver walk was done on a different day.
Workers were organized and careful. There was no damage to surrounding flower beds and aluminum siding was protected with heavy plastic. The exterior of my home looks amazing! The decks look new and the medium brown sealer that Frank suggested is a perfect color match with the brown aluminum trim. The stone walls and cement walks are mold and mildew free. The paver walk is level again, and spotlessly clean.
Frank Jager and his staff are experienced professionals. They are polite, responsive, and clearly take pride in their work. I couldn't be happier with their services and would certainly recommend them."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

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.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

Both aluminum and composite decking materials are environmentally friendly, with aluminum decking coming in as the most eco-friendly option. 

Though composite decking helps remove plastics from landfills, recycles wood, and lasts longer than traditional wood decks, it’s not recyclable and only lasts for 25 to 30 years on average. Aluminum can last well over 30 years and is almost always recyclable.

Pressure-treated lumber is one of the most affordable types of decking upfront. This material is widely available, so you can usually find pressure-treated lumber at almost any local home improvement store you visit. Keep in mind that wood requires a lot of upkeep with repainting and restaining, so any kind of wood may be more expensive in the long run than something like PVC decking.
