"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"

"I recently hired Upstate Home Repairs for a variety of tasks around my home, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! From start to finish, he was professional, efficient, and incredibly detail-oriented. Every job, whether big or small, was completed perfectly, and the quality of the work was outstanding. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Steve was friendly, approachable, and took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answering all of my questions. It was clear that he takes pride in the work and values customer satisfaction. I truly appreciate how punctual and reliable Steve was throughout the process. It’s rare to find someone who not only does great work but also provides such a positive, stress-free experience. I highly recommend Upstate Home Repairs for anyone looking for top-notch service and quality craftsmanship. Will definitely be calling again for future projects!"

"Jeff and his crew were very accommodating and responsive to our questions, and always timely letting us know when he would be at our home. He built us beautiful deck on the back of our home that is very well constructed. Even our town building inspector was impressed, stating on his final inspection that "you can land a helicopter on this deck!". Thanks for a job well done...will not hesitate to hire again for future projects!"

"Excellent job. John (the owner) was very responsive and always available. John was able to meet all of our wants and needs. Accommodated a color change after a room was completed with no problem. I have to say I was very impressed with the work, and will have John back next spring to paint the exterior of our home and our deck."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.

Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.

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.

The life expectancy of deck boards varies widely based on the material, climate, and maintenance. Untreated wood boards typically last 10 to 30 years with proper care, while pressure-treated boards can last up to 50 years. Hardwoods generally outlast softwoods. Composite boards also tend to last longer than natural wood. Environmental factors like arid or humid climates can shorten a deck's lifespan. To extend the life of wood decking, it's important to consistently clean and seal it to protect against moisture, UV light, and insects.

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. 

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.
