"Chris Hamm and his team re-stained our deck. They took care of matching the stain and clearing the deck of all of our plants. They were prompt, professional, and did a quality job."

Sometimes Spouse first came out and did a free estimate, the estimator was very professional and informative.  He answered all of my questions in an efficient manner and was very accommodating for the adjustments I needed.  Sometimes Spouse built a deck and pergola for my home.  The workers were very professional and showed up on time and got right to work.  While the work was being done the supervisor came and checked throughout the time and made sure everything was going smoothly.  There were some hiccups along the way but they provided great customer service and resolved issues.  Sometimes Spouse also did interior painting in my home and did a great job of being neat and not making a mess of my home, I am very pleased with their work.

"See above. In addition, while the company representative was at my house, he said that the work would be too difficult or complicated to do. When I didn't hear back from them, I thought that maybe the level of difficulty was the reason why they didn't seem to want to give an estimate. I do not really know for sure because I never heard back from them. I am not sure I would use them in the future.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best way to clean your decking is to clear debris from the gaps between the boards, sweep the surface, rinse it, apply cleaner, rinse again, and let it dry fully. A homemade deck cleaner made of two gallons of warm water and 1/2 cup vinegar is a simple cleaning solution for both wood and composite decking. You can sprinkle baking soda on any spots with mold or mildew, then scrub the area and rinse clean. 

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

Yes, it is possible to build a small, basic deck for $5,000, particularly if you use less expensive materials and a simple design. To stay within this budget, consider a size under 10x12 feet and use affordable materials like pressure-treated wood or cedar. While the general cost for deck building ranges from $4,350 to $12,560, with an average around $8,200, some projects can be completed for as little as $4,350. You can also save on labor costs by doing the work yourself, but be aware that mistakes could end up costing more than hiring a professional. A contractor may have a higher upfront cost, but they can ensure a safe, stable deck that will last.

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.
