"Met with Gary and could sense he had the talent and desire to do a great job. This was two connected decks all with trex decking and railings. There were other items included in the job. He completed all of them and did it all in a timely manner. He is talented and honest, qualities you really need in a good contractor. He will be doing future work for me. He proved himself to be a very professional and honest contractor. A credit to his profession."

"I had a very positive experience with Dan. He called the same day and was able to come to install four outdoor lights. He quoted a very fair price for installation and looked at another electrical problem and fixed it for no additional charge. He is capable and competent and I will not hesitate to use him for other jobs that may arise. I would recommend him highly."

"S&S Company owner came to view the project and offered to work and complete the project the very next day!!!! In order to fix the deck, it was necessary to grind down a large tree stump. This proved to be a much more complicated task and problem than originally thought. That said, he repaired the deck better than could be expected given the problems he faced regarding the age of the deck, the fact that the original foundation of the deck was not done correctly and the difficulties grinding down the tree stump. I was extremely pleased with the outcome. S&S is terrific and I plan on using him again."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.

Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

The choice between Trex, a brand of composite decking, and PVC decking depends on your priorities regarding budget, appearance, and environmental impact. Both materials are durable and resistant to moisture and insects. Trex is often considered more eco-friendly because it contains recycled wood and plastic and is 25% recyclable, while PVC is fully synthetic and harder to recycle. Aesthetically, Trex is designed to look more like real wood, whereas PVC often has a glossier, more plastic-like finish. In terms of cost, Trex is typically less expensive than PVC.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation or substructure for support. This base is typically a frame composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame can be built from various materials, such as composite, plastic, timber, or metal, depending on your budget, deck type, and environmental conditions. For maximum stability, a professional deck builder may recommend installing this frame on top of a solid concrete base. It is best to discuss the most suitable substructure design and materials for your specific project with a professional.
