"Jorge and his team are wonderful. Very professional and honest . Very respectful of your property and go above and beyond. I had two issues.I had flooding issues in my back yard and they put a drain in now I do not worry anymore about my basement flooding. I needed to redo my front steps. They put down beautiful pavers and rebuilt my steps. I love pulling into my driveway now my home looks so welcoming. Jorge and his team work hard to get the job done right and itâ  s shows in their work. I would recommend them very highly so much I asked them to come back and do another job. Jorge was very accommodating and did another well done job."

"Matthew has worked with us for over 5 years now and his work is nothing short of fantastic. Extremely detail oriented and went above and beyond what he promised us. We have a very large driveway and sidewalk and not a single inch was missed. We’ve used other providers years back who were unreliable and did sub par work. Save yourself the hassle and hire Amone’s. I’d give them 10 stars if I could."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

The best way to clean your decking is to clear debris from the gaps between the boards, sweep the surface, rinse it, apply cleaner, rinse again, and let it dry fully. A homemade deck cleaner made of two gallons of warm water and 1/2 cup vinegar is a simple cleaning solution for both wood and composite decking. You can sprinkle baking soda on any spots with mold or mildew, then scrub the area and rinse clean. 

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

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.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.
