"Despite having to deal with some equipment issues, Tim was extremely prompt and responsible in completing the job he had committed to do. I would highly recommend this company. My deck looks beautiful, including the outdoor furniture which was covered in green moss!"

"Professionals thru and thru. I was most impressed on their review and recommendation of the best way to refinish my dining room table and my grandfather's dresser. At first I thought their prices seemed a little bit higher than I expected but after listening to their explanation why and seeing the outstanding attention to detail and high quality, I would have paid more. Finding someone to do this kind of work right is hard enough, but being lucky enough to find a detailed oriented professional was special!"

"The quality of the work was satisfactory, it is demolition, it is nothing pretty but it is exactly what you are looking for. A cleared out area that had something you do not want prior. The best part was the service. After 3 quotes I was told I had have to wait until late September/Early October for each of them. I then heard from a friend about Tom and he came out within the week to give an estimate that was still comparable with the others and was able to fit me on his schedule early August. I had builders scheduled to start a new Deck first week in September that I was scared I was going to have to move and now we have a removed old deck, all cleared out and ready for the new one to go up. Would highly recommend and will be in touch with Tom in the future for a concrete pad install for a landing for the new deck steps."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

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.

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.

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.
