"Incredible group to work with. Danny was so accommodating when I was having problems with a HELOC. Told me not to worry he was ready to start whenever the problems were resolved. Efficient, hard working, pleasant to talk with. Gave wonderful suggestions for stain colors. I’m thrilled with the deck. Now just have to wait for the landscaping around the deck and 4-6 weeks until sanding and staining of the deck.l I can strongly recommend this company. Dynamic-D decks"

"I highly recommend Big Ox Powerwash. He did an excellent job washing the exterior of my house. He took extra steps to remove mossy growth from our shaded home in the woods. He worked efficiently and produced excellent results. He explained any spots that he couldn’t get the results he wanted. I am very pleased.."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.
