"Mark listens and pays attention to detail. ...I've had a lot of things done to my homes that I don't have the skills to do, and he was absolutely the best that I've worked with..timely...focused...and grade of work was outstanding. I have neighbors that have have sons that build and they want Mark and his crew to build for them instead of their sons...that's how good he is..I don't plan on having anyone else complete my jobs other than Mountain Man Maintenance because I trust them..and these days it's hard to find. Some companies don't even call you back....he called me back and came that day because I was leaving town the next day...excellent from contact to completion. ...10 stars.. Steve D"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

Increases livable area and enhances aesthetic, often boosting property appeal.

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.

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.
