"Working with Ascension Carrate and his team has been great. Initially, I hired them for lawn and garden clearing after the ice storm hit Texas. Luckily, I started talking to him about a few other things I was planning to do after the yard clean up and he informed me that he and his team could get them done. They came out and built a low stone wall around my front garden and installed a new one in the back garden. Then I had them return to extend the size of my existing concrete patio and do some signifciant tree trimming and cleanup. I have been impressed with everything they have done and enjoy working with them. I'm already talking to Mr. Carrate about replacing my backyard wooden privacy fence. Highly recommend."

Strongly recommend!!! Great fair price, was quick to get the job done. Left no mess behind. Very friendly and did a wonderful job in explaining what needed to be done and providing numerous options on how to proceed. 5 stars!"

"Anthony responded promptly to my request for an estimate to remove part of a deck and seal the wood on the remaining part. He was very professional throughout the process, explaining the steps required to complete the job, and notifying me when his work schedule needed to change because of the weather. He completed the work in a timely manner and did everything he said he would do. The deck looks great. I will use this company again."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. 

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro.
