"It was a little expensive, but I had some extra stuff that needed to be done as well. And William was straightforward when issuing the estimate. It was worth it. William and his team were AWESOME, PROFESSIONAL and had GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I forgot to say NEAT and cleaned everything up. That was a plus for me, because some contractors leave evidence of their presence behind. Thanks again William."

"Quick response time after contacted through Angie's list. The settling repair was done adequately, although they damaged my neighbor's driveway and also left trash behind. The seal coating job was poor. Gaps that were supposed to be sealed weren't. The area that was repaired was not sealed. The driveway looks like an unsightly patchwork at this point. I contacted them at least a dozen times and email communication from Jean was always friendly to rectify the situation. She promised many times to come back and complete the sealing job. But in the end, the promises never materialized and I have grown tired of badgering them. I cannot recommend them."

"Johnston General Contracting did very fine work on power washing and sealing my deck. The deck looks great. While he was late on the first day of the job the second day he was right on time. I would recommend this company. The only negative would be that the price seemed on the expensive side."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No. In most cases, it’s not colder or freezing temperatures that affect decking materials but the amount of moisture that seeps into the materials as a result. For example, wood decking material is more likely to suffer from rot or decay when exposed to excess moisture from snow or ice. An extreme change in temperature can cause wood to expand or contract, but only if it’s not properly treated beforehand.

Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.

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.

When sourced responsibly, the most sustainable wood decking options are timber trees like redwood, pine, Douglas fir, Nootka cypress, and Western red cedar. These tree species are fast-growing with low carbon emissions. Plus, most timber woods make durable deck materials because of their resistance to rot and decay over time. 

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.
