"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."

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.

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.
