"I have hired the INEX crew to replace the floor and top of the railing on my deck. They did a great job. Gave me a very reasonable price. Showed up on time and finished job in one day. Ron takes great pride in his work and his costumers. They are coming back in few weeks to power wash and stain my deck. I am very happy with the results and definitely hire them again. I highly recommend this company. Great work guys !!! Thank you !!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Work! We had Vargas Handyman & Home Improvements Inc. handle a major renovation project for our new brewery, Noble Experiment Brewing Company, and they exceeded every expectation from start to finish. Their team did everything — tile work, vinyl flooring, painting, deck repair — and every single job was done with precision, care, and pride. What really stood out was how easy they were to work with. Communication was always clear, they showed up when they said they would, and they finished everything on schedule. The attention to detail and craftsmanship were next-level — it’s rare to find a crew that’s both this skilled and this reliable. The transformation of our space is unbelievable, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a company that does top-quality work, stands by their word, and treats your project like their own, Vargas Handyman & Home Improvements is it. Highly recommended — they’re the real deal."

"Molina's came out same day I called for estimate. They gave me a fair price and came within the week to do the job. They were right on time-were very professional and got that tree down quickly. I was amazed at how hard they worked, they knew what they were doing and cleaned up after they were done. They even let me keep the wood, and they stacked it nicely. Can't say enough nice things about them!"

"I had my deck done two years ago but the original contractors that installed it did not install a staircase. Everything backyards came in and installed a wooden staircase with a lattice under the deck. They were very thorough and quick, the job was done within two days"

"Excellent work and reasonable pricing. Andres and his team were very professional and meticulous. The deck came out great and the overall painting looks flawless. As Andres promised, the preparation was well done and had produced great results. His team was careful in protecting my property and were very friendly and accommodating in handling all of my requests. They really went out of their way to earn my satisfaction. Would highly recommend."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

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. 

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
