"The contractor Johnny was willing to discuss the project and products with me in detail. He was punctual and committed to getting my deck cleaned and stained even though the weather was not cooperative. Our deck looks really nice!"

"Rich is a wonderful and kind man that came out to my home on a holiday so we would have electricity. They worked quickly and know exactly what your problem is and exactly how to fix it. They clean up after the work answer all questions and explain things very well so you understand what is going on during the work process. I would use them again a million times and I will recommend them anyone needing repairs."

"The contractor, Sean Hunter, is very friendly and a hard worker. He let me know what needed to be done and why, and he gave me a reasonable estimate. My two decks were badly in need of cleaning and staining and even needed minor repairs for nails sticking up out of the wood. Sean completed the power washing one day, and then he came back and finished the entire staining on another day. He seems to really care about doing a good job and he is a good communicator. He will call you to let you know when he will be there and he is very honest. I would use Sean again in the future for any deck maintenance work I might need."

"I hired Jack and crew to replace a portion of my deck. For a nominal fee, Jack came out, evaluated my deck and gave me an estimate. The nominal fee went toward the estimate, which I thought was fair and reasonable. The cost I felt was fair, not cheap, but not expensive. Jack is very attentive to details, communicative, and was happy to explain what they were doing during the process. The craftsmanship was top-notch. Not only do I strongly recommend Jack and crew for your decking needs, but have hired him to clean and treat my decks this coming fall."

"After 2+ years of researching, getting quotes and attempting an in-house repair (which we found was way beyond our capability) we were blessed with A Plus Concrete & Foundation Repair. Two of our Deacons meet with owner Gary who upon inspection recommended a course of action for our concrete restoration and preservation which some contractors wanted just to replace our concrete for upwards of $48,000.00. After reviewing A Plus's proposal our Deacon Board unanimously voted to hire A Plus Concrete to restore & preserve our conrete entryway, sidewalks and steps. On day one job foreman Joe was one time, professional and reviewed the entire project, the workers were mindful of our Robinson Township Christian School students and busses. I was impressed and please how Joe cordinated the project and lead their team during our concrete restoration project which took 3 1/2 days to complete. We are very pleased with the work A Plus did and for our project it comes with a full two year warranty and support years down the road giving us one less maintenance item off our fairly full plate as we maintain for our church facility. The Deacons at Providence Presbyterian Church would recommend A Plus Concrete & Foundaton Repair to anyone in need of concrete help. Thank you A Plus Concrete & Foundaton Repair for taking care of us, Keith S. - Providence Deacon"

"Phil and his team did a wonderful job digging up my old patio and replacing it with a deck built with Trex materials. The job was done professionally and he worked with me, even when I added additional scope to the job. I highly recommend them and plan on using P Sqrd LLC for future projects."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

The choice between Trex, a brand of composite decking, and PVC decking depends on your priorities regarding budget, appearance, and environmental impact. Both materials are durable and resistant to moisture and insects. Trex is often considered more eco-friendly because it contains recycled wood and plastic and is 25% recyclable, while PVC is fully synthetic and harder to recycle. Aesthetically, Trex is designed to look more like real wood, whereas PVC often has a glossier, more plastic-like finish. In terms of cost, Trex is typically less expensive than PVC.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface 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 essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.
