"The crew was on time each day. They were professional and easy to work with. They patched and painted the deck and ceiling of my garage to stop the leaking into my workshop.The job came out real good. They had to move the furniture off my deck and some woodworking equipment from my workshop all went well. The real test for this repair will be when it rains later this week and there is no more leak. I would recommend A + for your future projects."

"Both the owner and his assistant were polite, professional and worked hard. Arranged for repairs to be done during warm, dry period to ensure complete curing and drying. Cleaned up all debris, from carport rook, window sills and driveway. Made sure that I could access my garage and car for my business when needed. Were punctual and called if there were any changes to anticipated schedule of work. Excellent works, dependable.

"Our old house on the Northside of Pittsburgh was in need of an exterior facelift and a new front porch to replace the one that had collapsed. I met with Dave LaBovick of Exceptional Exteriors and we agreed upon a price, which my wife and I found quite reasonable. The work on the vinyl siding began about a week later and took only a half a day to wrap up. The job was done to our complete satisfaction, The before and after is like night and day. Another crew arrived a few days later to do the porch and sidewalk. They began work on a Thursday afternoon and were finished 24 hours later. Once again, we are very happy with the result. In both cases, they removed all debris and left-over building materials associated with the job. We are not only completely satisfied with the work that Exceptional Exteriors did for us, we are looking forward to hiring them again for our next home project."

"Dan DePriest came to give an estimate for powerwashing the deck floor and applying a clear sealer. He came on the same day that we called him. He was available to do the powerwashing that day, too, so we agreed to have him start right away. He did an excellent job washing the deck that had stains and winter dirt and green mold. He even washed the deck railing and the barbecue cover. He moved everything off  the deck in order to do the work. After allowing the deck to dry out, he returned three days later to replace the one board and to apply the clear seal to the deck floor. He used a long-handled paint pad to apply the sealer and took his time to cover the deck well. It has never looked better.

"My experience with RedLine Contracting has been exceptional. Gino and his team were the epitome of professionalism. Living in a rural area, I often struggle to find contractors willing to make the trip, but Gino reached out within 24 hours and we promptly arranged a quote. The main goal was to repair and stain my deck, but after meeting Gino, I felt comfortable adding several other tasks to the list. The additional projects included properly mounting lighting fixtures in the main bathroom, fixing broken tiles at the main entrance, staining the sidewalk, painting the master bedroom, installing a new lighting fixture over the kitchen island, and addressing a leaking drain from the upstairs master bathroom. Gino provided precise estimates and very reasonable costs for the extensive work I requested. He kept me informed of any changes or modifications needed, such as an extra coat of white stain for the originally brown deck. His expertise helped me make informed decisions without any pressure. One of the more complex tasks involved cutting out a section of the lower-level ceiling to repair the leaky drain and then matching the ceiling's textured finish perfectly. Gino's skill ensured the repair blended seamlessly with the original finish. Every task was completed with meticulous care and within the expected timeframe. Even when the weather delayed the deck work, Gino rearranged his schedule and worked extra hours to ensure timely completion. His accurate estimates and commitment to the schedule demonstrated RedLine Contracting's reliability. The results speak for themselves. Neighbors have complimented the exterior work, and friends and family are equally impressed with the interior improvements. Gino kept me updated daily via text message on the exterior work while I was out of town, which gave me great peace of mind. From a personal standpoint, Gino is one of the kindest and most respectful contractors I've ever met. He genuinely cares about his customers' satisfaction. I will definitely hire RedLine Contracting again and highly recommend them for any job, big or small."

"Justin did a wonderful job. My tractor had broken down and with all the rain my lawn was getting out of control. Justin came out the following day. It needed mowed and weed wacking done also. Not only did they do all of that, but he pulled my broken down tractor up to the house. The yard looked great. Really appreciate everything they did."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best material for your deck depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it’s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking.

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

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.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.
