"Arrived on time, surveyed the roof, and went to work finding a small leak that allowed some water to enter the house. First try, found a small leak and repaired it, including putting on a new boot on an outside pipe vent. I still had problems with some leaking. Second try, looked all over the roof to find a leak, finally found a hole that was mis-nailed and allowed water on the wood underneath. Fixed it including repair of the wood decking and putting roof back in order. Pleasant experience and seemingly professional. "
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.
"We are very pleased with the work Dennis and Adam with Dominion Decks did for us. We hired Dennis to repair a large deck and he was the first contractor that did not upsell and gave us a bid for exactly what we wanted and needed. Dennis and Adam were ontime, friendly and efficient. They completed the repairs in the timeframe provided and removed all old wood and trash before leaving. In addition, he saw our fence gate needed repairs and replaced it with a new gate. He wouldn’t accept payment for replacing the gate because it wasn’t on the original contract. Our deck looks beautiful and we would highly recommend Dominion Decks for your upcoming projects. Thank you Dennis!"
"Went very well. Responded to my solicitation quickly and was able to start quickly. Did a great job staining my pergola and deck. They were polite and professional and made sure I was satisfied before they left after the ~ 2-day job."
"Rocky has done several jobs for us over the last couple of years. He refinished and painted and repaired our back deck( looks wonderful). He has also refinished and put a new seal on our front door. And he has built and stained some fencing in our front yard. Rocky has always done a professional job for us. He also repaired our wooden address pole and concreted in it ( it was rotting and falling over). We have never had any complaints about his work and have recommended him to our friends !"
There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.
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.
Trex states that its Trex decking is an eco-friendly composite material made of 95% recycled or reclaimed materials (including plastic and wood), making it a sustainable brand of choice. According to the company, Trex is one of the largest plastic bag recyclers in the U.S., with each 500-square-foot Trex deck containing about 140,000 recycled plastic bags.
The best material for your deck depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it’s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking.
A sunroom is worth installing on a deck, both for the value and your own enjoyment. A Florida room addition costs between $10,000 and $140,000, so it’s pretty expensive. However, a quality sunroom can offer a 50% return on investment, making your home more sellable. Plus, if it’s a space you and your family enjoy relaxing in daily for years to come, it’s worth the money, time, and effort, even without the added monetary value.
