"I cannot say enough good things about SSCR carpentry, from their professional attitude and the quality of their work to the way that's got explained everything to me so that Even someone that knows nothing about carpentry can understand. SSCR made us a beautiful Trex deck for less than the cost of what a treated deck would have cost. They even moved our furniture off the deck and back on for us and one of the pieces was really heavy."

"Dariusz was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He really cares about you, your home, and the work he is doing. He even helped with an emergency leak we had in another room while he was working on our full bathroom reno. Pricing is fair and the work came out beautiful. We will absolutely be calling him for future projects."

"AMJ did a fantastic job disposing of my old deck and building a new one down to the footers! The whole crew was easy to work with and showed up when expected.

"Jeremy is an honest and knowledgeable contractor. He was prompt with scheduling, and when he had conflicts, quick to call and reschedule. He completed the repair and guaranteed his work (i.e. he will come back to continue to adjust until it is right). He was honest about what the true problem/solution will entail, and I fully intend on having him do that work after the winter is over."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.

It depends on the type of wood. The average cost to build a deck out of pressure-treated lumber is $15 to $25 per square foot, but more affordable varieties such as bamboo and cedar cost less at around $3 to $10 per square foot. However, when comparing the cost of vinyl decking versus wood decking, it’s important to also consider ongoing maintenance costs. For example, most woods require regular sealing to keep them protected against weather and rot.

While experienced DIYers may take on the challenge, hiring a licensed professional is often the best route, especially for larger or elevated structures. A local deck contractor is typically the best pro for the job, as they have specialized experience and are knowledgeable about local building codes, ensuring your deck is built safely and designed to last. Other professionals who can build a deck include general contractors and carpenters, who may be more readily available in some regions.

Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat 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.
