"Very friendly and easy to work with. Would recommend this service to others and request it again myself. The work is professional and what is being done is communicated very clearly so you know what to expect."

"Don was great! He was offered suggestions on deck size and stair placement and was very patient when I changed my mind about the shape of the deck (and then changed it back!), came when he said he would and had the pool deck finished when he said it would be. The building inspector also complimented his work when he came to inspect it."

"Luna Siding did an absolutely wonderful job from start to finish. At the initial estimate, there was a lot of time and care that went into listening to us and helping us figure out exactly what we wanted. We first wanted to get a couple other estimates, which we did. Luna did follow up with us, and was very response whenever we reached out to speak with someone. Our business really seems to matter to the people at Luna. When we decided to go with Luna for our project, I immediately felt at ease and just knew we were in good hands. They took our deposit and scheduled the start date. They communicated with us every step of the way. They started and completed our job in one day. The work was far better than what were hoping. I cannot express what quality work was done for our beautiful deck. Further, the clean up was absolutely wonderful. We have pets, so making sure that nothing is left behind that could hurt our fur baby is a major priority. We anticipate having some more jobs completed on our home in the future and without hesitation we will contact Luna first! Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish!"

"They fixed a leak around my chimney, and the reason I chose them was because they gave me a 10 year warranty for the leaks. They called me immediately and came the next day to do the work. So far, no leaks!"

"Excellent! They arrived early. Worked all day and finished the roof in one day. There was a team of 5 workers who each had a roll and performed it to perfection. House was protected by a large tarp and all debris was clean up and taken away. A new skylight was installed!"

"They have completed a ton of work for us - rebuilding our front steps, replacing 2 windows and a slider, replacing interior moldings, replacing an entire ceiling of insulation on our ground level, replacing siding on several part of the house and replacing our entire roof. They are communicative, reliable, professional, thoughtful, they do excellent quality work and are fairly priced. We will definitely be leveraging their services in the future."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.

Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area.
