"The deck was a complete disaster when I bought my house. I truly needed an exorcism. It was splintering, sun beaten and faded. Terry's crew came over, power washed the deck to a smooth surface, it restored the wood and then sprayed the deck. They showed up promptly for the work, were very efficient and I was stunned with how amazing my deck came out. Looked like a whole new deck. Will be hiring them again in the future. Amazing work."

"John came out and after looking at our deck,gave us a quote to wash and stain the deck. We felt very comfortable with him and did not want a second opinion..we said yes..He came out with worker and power washed the deck. Amazing how clean it became. We waited for weather to be dry and yesterday his crew came and stained the deck. They were very professional and the deck looks great. We would recommend Campbell Painting to anyone ."

"I hired John to fix some doors for me before the Christmas holiday. He came right over & gave me a decent estimate for the work I needed done & scheduled within a week. Even though he couldn't replace some parts due to no supplies at home warehouse stores, he still managed to do what needed to be done. Hopefully, he will come back & do some addt'l work for me in the future."

"Charley at Deck Rescue - Summit, did an outstanding job. My deck is decades old. It was grey and black looking and had mildew/mold on it. The lead-in to the deck steps was unfinished and jagged. The first day Charlie came out he reviewed what he was going to do. I asked about different options and he went through a lot of them. I had mentioned the problem with the jagged edge at the step lead-in and he suggested a solution, for which he would charge hourly. After we talked, he power washed and cleaned the deck. I wish I had taken before pictures, because this decades old wooden deck, looked like a new deck when he was finished. I really couldn't believe how great it looked, and this was just the washing and cleaning. Two days later Charley and his crew came out to stain the deck and repair the steps. He solved my problem with the steps beautifully - it looks perfect. Charley and his crew did not rush the job. They were very, very thorough. The final outcome is better than I could have reasonably expected. Charley was very professional and personable. I am glad I found the best company for the job."

"The repair of the deck was the major part of the work that  Jamie performed. His work was excellent and was reasonably priced. He responded quickly to my initial inquiry and performed the job as soon as he was able to. We are  very  pleased with the work that he did and would certainly utilize his services for other jobs in the future.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Wood decks need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years on average. Natural wood is highly vulnerable to infiltration and damage from moisture, which can occur rapidly due to exposure to outdoor elements. You can protect your deck and maximize its lifespan by sealing it every year or two.

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.

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.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

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.
