"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 !"
Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.
A deck is typically attached to a house and accessed via the back door. Decks are usually constructed from wood or composite materials. A terrace, on the other hand, is a raised platform that can be attached to or detached from the house and is typically made from a hard-paved material, such as paving stones. Terraces can be built on the ground or on the roof of a home.
With proper installation and maintenance, a vinyl deck can last up to 30 years. Factors like regular cleaning, minimal wear and tear, proper installation, and the use of higher-grade materials can extend its durability. However, extreme weather conditions or neglecting maintenance might shorten its lifespan. Adhering to manufacturer recommendations for care and occasional inspections can significantly prolong a vinyl deck's longevity.
The most likely causes of a deck leaning to one side are damaged deck posts, soil erosion, and inadequate deck footings. If you’re not sure about the exact cause, the best option is to call a contractor who can build a deck to inspect the damage and recommend the best way forward.
