"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. All the cuts are clean, and the deck is a show stopper. I have gotten so many compliments on my deck. Iâ m glad a chose AMJ to build my family a new deck!"

"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

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.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

If you want to make a deck cleaner from products already in your home, there are various options. The most common is to use a gentle blend of 1 gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia-free dish soap. You can also mix water with distilled vinegar. Sprinkling on some baking soda can help to remove mold and mildew. You can add oxygen bleach (but never damaging chlorine bleach) to the water and ammonia-free dish soap solution for something a bit stronger. 

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.

Coping is the material that lines the perimeter of a pool and seals the transition between the top of the pool wall and the water. Decking surrounds the poolscape and extends far beyond the water's edge to provide a safe walking and lounging area. In short, coping is the border between the decking and the pool itself.
