Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"They did not properly power wash the deck areas, the steps down to the yard, or the attached screened-in porch/shed. The time it took from getting their equipment out of the truck to packing it back up was only 45 minutes. It was far from a thorough job. They failed to sand the surfaces that required sanding. They did not fully prime the wood and applied one incomplete coat of stain. The contract stated they would apply two coats of stain. There were numerous areas untouched by any stain, leaving plain wood in view. They stained over leaves and debris, which caused it to start peeling in many areas. The crew did not leave the leftover stain (that we paid for) behind for any touch-up work. If we could rate a zero, we would."

Currently we are Ohio's only certified installers of Deck-Top products, designed to protect and extend the life of your deck or dock. Deck-Top is a PVC cover, designed to protect against UV rays, moisture, mold, mildew, and general wear and tear. Deck-Top is slip-resistant, stays cool to the touch, as much as 30-50 degrees cooler than wood or composite decking, is low maintenance, and eco-friendly since you don't need to stain or paint your surfaces every year. We are also able to make repairs and improvements to your existing deck or dock.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.

No, it isn’t necessary to skirt a deck, but investing in the cost to install deck skirting can bring more value to your home. Not only does deck skirting make the deck look more complete, but it can also turn otherwise unused space beneath the deck into useful storage space.

Building codes vary by location, and you should always consult local codes before planning construction. Generally speaking, however, railing requirements stipulate that decks more than 30 inches off the ground need railings for safety purposes. These railings usually need to be at least 36 inches tall, although California and Washington require rails to be 42 inches or taller.

The signs of rot depend on the type. Dry rot looks like cube-shaped cracks with a fluffy white, cotton-like texture. Wood with dry rot may also have a strong, musty smell. 

Signs of other types of rot include wood that looks mushy or has black spots. The wood may crumble or give way when touched.

Building codes typically require handrails if your porch is 30” or more off the ground. However, it's important to check your local regulations and building codes to make sure, as this can differ depending on your location. When in doubt, check with a local porch handrail pro, who will know the local codes and be able to get permits if any are required.
