"Dylan and his crew built us a beautiful deck. We had a very tight timeline but Dylan worked very hard for us to squeeze us in. He was very flexible with changes and candidly expressed concerns, which allowed us to achieve exactly what we wanted and expectations were clear all around. He was 100% on his timeline and completely within his quote, which for materials was exactly what my husband thought it would cost to build it himself, and the labor costs were very reasonable. Dylan is a smart builder and a hard worker. I'm very glad we went with him and plan to go with him on our future projects."

"It went very well. The workers were friendly and the work was completed on time and our basement looks terrific. Their attention to detail was outstanding and we're very happy with the final product. The company was also very flexible and knowledgeable and suggested some changes to our original blueprints which helped settle some disagreements about the floor plan between my husband and I."

"I’m thrilled with Lawn Pros of WNY and I’d happily recommend them to anyone who needs lawn maintenance services. I contacted Lawn Pros after the service I’d hired to cut my lawn left me high and dry for 3 weeks. Lawn Pros replied to my inquiry quickly, gave me a very fair price, and cut my lawn the SAME DAY!!! I couldn’t be happier with Lawn Pros of WNY, they went above and beyond for me, excellent service."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

Finding a reputable deck builder should start with speaking with a local company and asking for samples of past work and references. You can review the company’s workmanship and speak with past customers to learn what the customer service was like throughout the process. It’s also a good idea to read online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to see if the company has a history of customer complaints. If you can get a referral from a family member or friend, that’s another great option.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.
