"I originally started with looking at concrete platform steps which needed footers that proved too expensive. The House Doctors provided me with alternate options using treated lumber and backfilling with gravel. I am very grateful to Seth and Mike for working with me to understand the challenges, come up with alternate solutions, and work within my budget. An excellent solution that ended up saving me $5000.00"

"We are very pleased with Jaime and the high quality of his work. We contacted him in August and made an appointment for an estimate. He arrived at the agreed time and he spent over an hour assessing our needs. For our deck work, he compiled all measurements and sketched the plan for the new steps paired with the modified layout. We initially thought we might need roofing shingle repairs but Jaime convinced us it was not needed. We scheduled Jaime to start on September 16, expecting the work to be done within 2 weeks. Jaime arrived promptly on the start date and was onsite every day until the work was completed, weather permitting. Jaime and his brother performed all work. Jaime brought all materials and tools to our house and cut all boards as needed onsite. All scrap was removed promptly. During the job activities, Jaime showed us other carpentry problems (rotting window frames and deck boards) which we had Jaime perform in addition to the original tasks. Jaime completed all work within the expected timeframe. Jaime is an extremely professional and skilled carpenter. We highly recommend him and won't hesitate to rehire him for future work."

"They stained my deck with a solid stain. They did an excellent job of taping-off and covering everything to insure that the stain did not end-up where was suppose to be. They cleaned-up after themselves. They were professional and quite. I under estimated the about of stain and coat that the deck needed, but they were great about it."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.
