I've lived in Dallas for only a little while, but it already feels like home, I started this company because I wanted to be my own boss and build my own future. I am easygoing, I like to have fun with the process!. I most want my customers to know I always put myself in my customers shoes, treat their home like my own.

The company provided a quick and fair quotation using photos and measurements that I provided of the deck along with a description of the services I was requiring.  Upon my acceptance of the quote, the work was scheduled that week.

When the technician arrived, he assessed that due to the previous staining job being performed on wet pressure treated wood that we would need to use a different type of stain product than was originally quoted.  The difference in price was ~$50 and we mutually agreed to the change in scope.

The technician performed the cleaning on the first day.  The cleaning consisted of a blower to remove any large debris and a pressure wash with a cleaning solution.

The staining occurred on day two and was applied with a gas-powered sprayer.  We had chosen a Sherman Williams Solid Color Traditional Russet Superdeck Stain.  As Good As New offered a 3 year warranty for this product.

Upon completion, the technician and I walked the job and looked for missed spots.  We found none.  He then gave detailed instructions on how to care for the new stain and told me to call if we had any issues during the warranty period.

Overall a very positive experience with As Good As New.

"Excellent.  He came out the same day I called (which was a Saturday). I had some missing shingles on my roof as well as some corner areas damaged from a storm that needed repair. He was very clear about his rates and what he could fix.  Everything turned out just as he said.  I will definitely call on him again

"DFW Deck and FEnce had good ratings on Angie's List so I wanted to use them. I left a phone message, but call was never returned. I also left a Text message, but there was no response.  I called again a day or so later, and this time the owner answered and came to do the estimate. He was very nice and professional and obviously knew what he was talking about. He said he would send a bid that night.   After a couple of days, I did not receive the bid, so I emailed him to ask for it. By this time I felt like I was "chasing" them, and I prefer not to work with companies like that. When I did get the bid, it was $300-400 higher than the other estimates.    This is the response that I got from DFW Fence along with the price:   "Right now I'm leaving the estimated start date open for several reason.  Mother nature controls my schedule and in some cases may back my calendar up for 2-3 weeks.  I also schedule jobs based on acceptance of the estimate.  Currently I have over 60 estimates open from the last 3 months and if they all decide to do the work I could be backed up for several month.  As my calendar sits right now I'm about 8 weeks booked up if I stay on schedule.  If there is a way to get started earlier on your project I might be able to."     So when Affordable Fence said they could start the following Monday, and Superior gave me days a few weeks later, I went with them! Plus they were cheaper.  Kenny Dugan of DFW Deck and Fence is a nice person but may have too much work on his hands for now."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

The life expectancy of deck boards varies widely based on the material, climate, and maintenance. Untreated wood boards typically last 10 to 30 years with proper care, while pressure-treated boards can last up to 50 years. Hardwoods generally outlast softwoods. Composite boards also tend to last longer than natural wood. Environmental factors like arid or humid climates can shorten a deck's lifespan. To extend the life of wood decking, it's important to consistently clean and seal it to protect against moisture, UV light, and insects.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

Yes, it is possible to build a small, basic deck for $5,000, particularly if you use less expensive materials and a simple design. To stay within this budget, consider a size under 10x12 feet and use affordable materials like pressure-treated wood or cedar. While the general cost for deck building ranges from $4,350 to $12,560, with an average around $8,200, some projects can be completed for as little as $4,350. You can also save on labor costs by doing the work yourself, but be aware that mistakes could end up costing more than hiring a professional. A contractor may have a higher upfront cost, but they can ensure a safe, stable deck that will last.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.
