"Hired G&R to fix up my deck, stain it, and paint a shed. The work involved replacing all of the horizontal hand rails, and tightening the floor boards. G&R stained the entire deck by hand (including the lattice work). Gave me a good price and stayed with that price. The deck was 35 years old, but you couldn't tell by looking at it now. My neighbor hired them to do some landscaping work after seeing them work on my property. Willie was easy to work with. Would definitely hired them again."

Customers say: Quality work

"I highly recommend Steve & Sons. We hired them to redo the siding on our house. We were very particular about what we wanted and made it clear that we had high expectations. Steve & Sons definitely exceeded our expectations and we would highly encourage anyone looking for quality workmanship to contact Steve. Steve and his son, Steve, showed up for the estimate right away, they gave us a fair price, Steve came back to measure and double checked which materials we wanted, and then started the job over July 4th weekend. Steve constantly made sure we were happy with how the job was coming out and if we had any alterations we wanted made, he made sure things were done to our satisfaction. The scope of the work had to change slightly, but Steve didn't mind and even kept the original quoted price. Steve went above and beyond to help us more than he needed to - he helped us haul out garbage, helped carry in new furniture and kept his cooler full of cold sparkling water to hand out. The best part is that our house looks so beautiful - we couldn't be happier - and we've received so many compliments from neighbors."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Building a deck is often worth the investment, not only because it provides more utility to your yard and gives you more space to entertain but also because decks tend to add value to your home. Keep in mind that second-story decks often require concrete footings, which means they will bump up your property taxes, while decks built on the first story generally don’t require a permanent foundation and won’t affect your taxes. Even with the tax increase, decks are usually a good investment in the long run.

Some elevated decks require stairs that lead to the ground level per the local fire codes in some municipalities. In other regions, a staircase is an optional feature that can increase accessibility and convenience for homeowners who want ground-level access to their deck. Additionally, a staircase is necessary if your home doesn't have an existing door leading to the deck.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.
