"Have used these folks for several years. They clean the deck with a pressure wash and then seal it with their product. Our deck looks great and weathers very well given the multiple treatments they've performed over the years. Recommend them if you want your deck to last."

"Kevin and Jason took great care of restaining our fence and deck. After I requested a quote, Kevin contacted me promptly and offered to come out to take accurate measurements and get a look at what would need to be done. I really appreciated this because other companies used Google maps or asked me to measure which I didnâ t feel great about. They took their time with sanding the deck, hand rolling paint on the deck boards, washing the fence, etc. I felt like a lot of TLC went into the project which may have been rushed by others; it was as though they were working on their own property. The price may have been slightly higher than other quotes but I think we definitely got what we paid for and then some. Super reliable, communicative, and kind. My deck and fence will be beautiful for years to come. Thanks to Kevin and Jason!"

"We recently had our deck done and they referred us to Dexpert to have it stained. Our deck was stained today and it looks absolutely beautiful. It was stained by Joshua and he did a great job on behalf of Dexpert. Our deck is only 250sq ft but we were very pleased with the cost for the job."

"Melvin came out gave me a reasonable bid, and started work the next day. He was very knowledgeable and often great solutions to any problems that came about. He and his crew worked long hard days in the hot sun to complete my fence which covers a double lot. He did such an amazing job that I hired him to complete a deck project for me."

"We loved the work they did on our shed so much, we hired them to remove our old deck and put down a cement patio. That work is scheduled for 20 May. Can't wait for it to be done! They are hard workers, very accommodating to the customers, and the owner and his work leader are veterans! What more could you ask of a great company!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Materials for a second-story deck must be weather- and rot-resistant, though the specific choices will largely be determined by your budget and style preference. Pressure-treated wood is on the lower end of the price scale, but it can be customized and stained the way you like it. Composite, on the other hand, is pricier for installation and has fewer options for customization, but you’ll save money and time in the long run because it requires little maintenance.

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.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

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.

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.
