"It was a true pleasure dealing with Chris F. He did some work for us to make our house more handicap accessible and it immediately has made a huge difference in our lives. While he was here we added a couple more general tasks that have been on my "honey-do" list forever. He was very flexible and quick to fix the extra items. He did a fabulous job on everything, we are so happy. His pricing was very very reasonable. I am already accumulating my next "Chis please fix this" list I'd like him to do around the house and yard. I would highly recommend him for other people to hire for small to large projects."

"Mike Concheck from MDG Maintenance repaired our roof and then fixed the ceiling where the roof leak had left damage. He did a great job on both projects, finishing in one day. We have called MDG Maintenance twice now, and both times we have been very pleased with the workmanship and professionalism of the service contractors. What a relief it is as a homeowner to be able to call upon a reliable company to do those jobs we cannot do ourselves."

"Perhaps the most important thing to know is that the deck project completed by Specialscapes was the second project for which Jay was hired. The first being last year as we were quite happy with the work and the manner in which Jay and his crew conduct themselves."

"Brandon handled everything efficiently. Jerry and Frank were great. They really cared about the job they were doing. They were very Good to my Golden Emma which is very important to me. I love the new bathroom. The entire house got a huge face-lift. They also solved a problem left to me by Regency windows. My new counters from Rainbow Marble are beautiful. I would hire them again."

"The work consisted of repairing a stress crack running down the length of my living room ceiling and repainting a bedroom which included removing a wallpaper border at the ceiling. The living room ceiling is textured which required fixing the crack, re-texturing the entire ceiling and repainting. John Garrity explained my options and him and his crew did exceptional work. They were punctual, kept me updated along the way and cleaned up everything when done. In addition, a last minute job was hanging a ceiling fan in the painted bedroom which was not part of the initial work. I would definitely hire them again."

"We were very impressed with Pro Builders LLC and the deck project they recently did for us. Abe was responsive, quoted us fairly on converting our wood deck to composite, and followed up immediately to any calls or questions we had. My wife wasnâ t available when Abe came to quote the job, so he agreed - without hesitation - to return on a different day so she could be included in the planning. As the project got underway, we thought of some modifications we hadnâ t considered previously, including teardown/rebuild of a second deck. Abe provided feedback, made suggestions and spoke honestly about the scope. We agreed on a fair price for the changes, including the second deck, and he and his team quickly moved forward. We highly recommend Pro Builders LLC. Abe and his team have a remarkable work ethic and they are experienced in many types of projects â including painting and flooring. We expect we will be contacting him for other projects that arise!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

Yes, deck pier blocks can be used as an alternative to traditional deck footings, especially for smaller or low-to-the-ground decks. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks do not require digging or pouring. However, their use is dependent on local building codes. Some areas, particularly those prone to high winds, earthquakes, or hurricanes, may not permit the use of deck pier blocks. It is essential to consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck project.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions.
