"Chris was extremely thorough, neat and professional. He came to our house on a Saturday to look at the deck. He was obviously very knowledgable about the types of stain and he explained our options as well as the prices for those options (transparent versus solid stain, etc.) He then e-mailed us an estimate which we found to be very fair. We accepted the bid and Chris performed the job just as described in the bid. The only delays were due to the the rainy Pittsburgh spring and the thousands of blossom petals falling from nearby black cherry trees. Chris did not want to perform the work unless the conditions were correct and we very much appreciated this - we obviously did not want the stain applied to damp wood or want blossom petals stuck to the deck! Chris and his entire crew were meticulous and courtious - they cleaned up every day and there was not one drop of stain dropped on the underlying patio or furniture below. We love the result!! We defiantly recommend Chris and we will use him in the future!"

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

A quality, well-maintained PVC decking can last 30 to 50 years. It’s known for being one of the most durable types of decking materials, with composite decking having a 25- to 30-year average lifespan and some softwood deckings only lasting 10 to 15 years. Luxury hardwood decks like Ipe may last longer than PVC decking, but they can cost more and require more maintenance.

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.

Floating decks are a cost-effective and versatile option, but they come with some compromises. Since they sit on smaller footings instead of being deeply anchored, they’re more likely to shift over time, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or freeze-thaw conditions. Their low-to-the-ground design makes them more susceptible to moisture buildup and potential water damage.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.
