"Ryan did a great job. He power washed my decks and then stained them. He was always here on time and was very polite. I would hire him again because he does much more than power washing. Thank you Ryan"

"Difficult time for the workers. Weather was the factor. They were building our 14' X 20' above ground pool deck. Alot of rain during the month of July. Several days were a wash out, but they worked hard and got the job done. Deck looks great and we enjoy it every day. I would hire Brian and crew again. Thanks guys."

"The addition to the front living room is used everyday and all parts are holding up and are still looking very nice. Service was good and happy with the addition.?Room that was added to the house was blending in to match the hardwood flooring that already in the house and everything looks great. The addition was just one of the items that was done. I have had several other rooms redone in the house that I am currently living in. Harold has also build counter tops and cabinets customized to my family needs. I have had the re-roof redone with Harold and the siding put on the house. I know Harold has been able to do anything that is needed that I have asked of him to complete."

"Jason build 2 decks dor me. One large deck that went the entire width of my house approximately 12x28 and a smaller deck outside the bedroom that is approximately 8x12. Both met and exceeded my expectations. Jason took care in making sure the colors complemented the sidi g and each other. Jason and his team showed up on time, took a lunch break, returned, and left all on time consistently every day. When he had completed the project there were no loose ends. Such a relief and so respectable."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Composite decking boards aren't your only options for building a deck. There are several other types of materials for decks, including wood and aluminum decking. Wood decking comes in many different wood species, offering natural beauty and classy timelessness to your yard. Aluminum is a lightweight, water-resistant, and low-maintenance material that is also non-slip.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

When sourced responsibly, the most sustainable wood decking options are timber trees like redwood, pine, Douglas fir, Nootka cypress, and Western red cedar. These tree species are fast-growing with low carbon emissions. Plus, most timber woods make durable deck materials because of their resistance to rot and decay over time. 

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.
