"Everything went great with Deck Dudez! Tom came out to inspect our deck along with giving us the best options for rebuilding. He was polite, professional and made us feel confident in our choice to go with him. Deck Dudez worked with us to create the deck I had envisioned and it looks beautiful! I look forward to many days spent out there! Will definitely be calling again for when we need to front done."

"He's a contractor. The roof was great. They cleaned up after themselves. There were a few pieces that flew on the neighbor's roof and and they actually went over and got it off he neighbor's roof. I was surprised."

"KJ comes across as down-to-earth and trustworthy.  He has a positive attitude when talking about the work and never talks "down" to me as the customer.  He does good work with that desired "perfectionistic" bent and at a good pace- not hurried and not slow.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.

The best way to clean your decking is to clear debris from the gaps between the boards, sweep the surface, rinse it, apply cleaner, rinse again, and let it dry fully. A homemade deck cleaner made of two gallons of warm water and 1/2 cup vinegar is a simple cleaning solution for both wood and composite decking. You can sprinkle baking soda on any spots with mold or mildew, then scrub the area and rinse clean. 

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.

The best paver for your pool deck depends on your budget, style, and how much maintenance you’re willing to invest. Granite is one of the best low-cost pavers for pool decks. It’s very slip-resistant and durable, too, making it a top pick. Travertine is a high-quality material that resists freeze-thaw cycles, looks stunning, and won’t get hot in the summer. The only downside to travertine is that it costs more than granite.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.
