"Sergpro was 1st to respond and schedule an estimate. On time and great communication. Sergei did a great job explaining my options for repairing the damage to my deck. Was able to schedule my job quickly and finished work before I heard back from other contractors. Work was great and price was very fair. I will use Sergpro again and have already recommended to a friend."

"Deck Maintenance and Re-Build - Woodpecker Builders John replaced many boards on the two decks length of our house, removed vertical posts and replaced with horizontal cables to improve our view of the golf course. He and his team power washed the decks, sanded and re-stained the decks. John is a wonderful communicator, a pleasure to work with, and his prices are reasonable. John is going to work with us on another project in the near future. I highly recommend Woodpecker Builders."

"We hired Tim to stain our privacy fence, deck, and screened in porch. We had a vision of what we wanted but never dreamed it would turn out even better! Tim was very punctual, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure that we were completely satisfied at every stage. Highly recommend him for any project."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.
