"Very professional. He responded quickly with a call. Came out to review job, sent a very detailed estimate. Called, and showed up when he said he would. Did a great job, of cleaning deck, repaired and replaced some steps, then painted the deck. Came back a couple days later, returned everything back on the deck. Very polite!!! I would highly recommend him."

"Chris Westfall and his company came and gave me estimate to replace my old weathered deck boards with a composite decking. They also replaced my railing as well. They showed up on time and the workers were very nice. They also stayed within the budget that was quoted. I would definitely hire them again!"

"Eduardo did a fantastic job on my drywall repair. He communicated well, showed up on time and finished within the time he proposed. He was clean, conscience, and considerate. The price was fair and the work was excellent. I was disappointed in the total calculated by home advisor, because they underestimated the work in their calculation. However, before Eduardo even started the job he communicated what would be expected. I shared pictures with him so he could calculate what the job would entail. I appreciated his communication and reliability. I also appreciated that during this covid quarantine he wore a mask at all times. I also appreciated that he setup his work to cause minimal disruption and dust in the household. I would definitely hire him again."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation, substructure, or subframe to ensure stability. This base is typically composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame's joists can be built from various materials like composite, plastic, timber, or metal, as long as the base can support the deck's weight without shifting. A professional deck builder might recommend installing the frame on a solid concrete base for added durability. The final design and materials for the substructure will depend on your budget, the type of deck, and environmental conditions.

Finding a reputable deck builder should start with speaking with a local company and asking for samples of past work and references. You can review the company’s workmanship and speak with past customers to learn what the customer service was like throughout the process. It’s also a good idea to read online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to see if the company has a history of customer complaints. If you can get a referral from a family member or friend, that’s another great option.

The choice between Trex, a brand of composite decking, and PVC decking depends on your priorities regarding budget, appearance, and environmental impact. Both materials are durable and resistant to moisture and insects. Trex is often considered more eco-friendly because it contains recycled wood and plastic and is 25% recyclable, while PVC is fully synthetic and harder to recycle. Aesthetically, Trex is designed to look more like real wood, whereas PVC often has a glossier, more plastic-like finish. In terms of cost, Trex is typically less expensive than PVC.
