"First, I had them deep clean my flagstone patio, using their super-powered hot-water pressure washer, using a bleach solution. Absolutely incredible result, getting out stains no one else I hired had been able to get out with normal cold water pressure. The results were so good, I had the wash the entire house and gutters using that same setup. The light-colored trim and gutters just glowed! With two great results, I had them do an even trickier job: refinish my hardwood porch/deck. This involved careful sanding and bleaching of the wood, ridding it of the terrible job the last guys did, and then precisely oil-staining the tigerwood decking - a much more difficuly job than cedar staining, as hardwood does not absorb excess stain. It must be carefully brushed out to eliminate pooling. The result was absolutely spectacular! The decking looks like hardwood flooring - exactlythe effect we wanted when we installed it but had been unable to achieve with other contractors. Weâ ve had neighbors stop by and ask about it already. Travis knows his stuff and is a meticulous, scrupulous craftsman. You can count on him to do the job right and at a very fair price. I will definitely use Upright Exterior Services next time,and will recommend them to anyone who asks."

"We had an unusual project to replace a collapsed front deck, install a boardwalk and a new set of stairs to be one cohesive entryway to our front door - and to ensure it complemented existing stonework. The Prism crew built a beautiful entryway that exceeded our expectations. We are very happy with it and it is so well built it will last for decades."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The life expectancy of deck boards varies widely based on the material, climate, and maintenance. Untreated wood boards typically last 10 to 30 years with proper care, while pressure-treated boards can last up to 50 years. Hardwoods generally outlast softwoods. Composite boards also tend to last longer than natural wood. Environmental factors like arid or humid climates can shorten a deck's lifespan. To extend the life of wood decking, it's important to consistently clean and seal it to protect against moisture, UV light, and insects.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

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.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.
