"I hired Remodeling Concepts based on a recommendation. Right from the start Derek was very responsive and once at my home he was full of ideas and suggestions to help us with our remodel. I brought in 3 contractors before hiring RC. The estimates were all around the same amount and Derek was right in line with his prices but he offered a lot more than anyone else I spoke to. Throughout the remodel, the entire staff were professional and friendly. I actually got to the point that I felt that the guys had become family...my dogs even liked them! Derek and his staff were always available when I needed them and anytime I made changes to the project Derek took it in stride and worked with me to make sure I was happy. One of the things that really made me happy when dealing with Derek is that when he would come to the house on a day that he wasn’t on site, he would review the work done and at times would find something that he deemed unacceptable that my wife and I didn’t even notice and would have the work redone to make sure it was perfect. This was a huge project that I was very nervous about and Derek and his staff made sure things went smoothly and I couldn’t be happier with the results. We did everything from new siding and a new roof, to a full kitchen remodel, new laundry room, new covered deck, and central air among other things. The biggest indicator of how happy I am with the work done is that I recently contacted Derek to do more work for me!"

"Matt did a great job bringing our oversized deck back to life. Cleaning, sanding, minor repair and painting. However. the job required additiaonl costs that were not realized, so we waved the costs off. Overall, very please with Matt's professionalism, communication and personality. I am considering Matt fo additional work at my house and highly recommend Matt him."

"John went the second mile and then some.  He did all the shopping for us and never charged us for his time or gas.  This meant a lot as John's knowledge of what was needed for the job saved us from making mistakes in our purchases, or just not getting all that was needed.  He saved us countless hours of going back and forth.  His prices are excellent; I don't really know how he does it.
He is so extremely pleasant to work with.  He's friendly, but soft-spoken.  He is and honest and ethical; and gives you 100% of his time while on the job.  If you purchase 6 hours from John, he will give you all six hours.  Don't be afraid of being charged time while John eats lunch; he won't do that to you. 
Additionally, he is careful and competent.  I was especially grateful for his ability to make suggestions.  They were all good and highly valued (things I just wouldn't have thought of).  His work is excellent quality.  I could not be more happy having found and hired John.  Having someone to your home to do work can feel uncomfortable and intrusive.  Having John over is a pleasure.  I will truly miss him when the work is finished.  The deck is almost done and it's beautiful!

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Composite decking requires a solid foundation, substructure, or subframe to ensure stability. This base is typically composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame's joists can be built from various materials like composite, plastic, timber, or metal, as long as the base can support the deck's weight without shifting. A professional deck builder might recommend installing the frame on a solid concrete base for added durability. The final design and materials for the substructure will depend on your budget, the type of deck, and environmental conditions.
