"Robert came and hung a ceiling fan and a new light in my kitchen. He also had to fix some drywall and paint to match my wall and did a great job. I would recommend him 10/10. He did a great job with hanging lights, ceiling fan and fixing/painting walls."

"Highly knowledgeable in the several different species of trees on our property. He knew exactly how much to trim and how much to leave intact on each tree to improve its appearance and safeguard its health. He worked non-stop through 105+ deg temperatures and finished the job in a single day. Other tree companies estimated 3 and 4 days to accomplish what he did in 1 day. His estimate came hundreds of dollars below those of his competitors, and we could not be more pleased with the money we paid him. His skill, professionalism, and work ethic impressed us deeply."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

Yes, adding a composite deck, such as one made from Trex, can significantly increase your home's value. It is a valuable home renovation for recouping costs, with some estimates for return on investment (ROI) ranging between 60% and 70%. More recently, Remodeling's 2024 Cost vs. Value Report suggests a deck addition has an ROI of 82.9%, with an average resale value of nearly $14,600. A new deck makes your yard more functional, enhances the landscape's aesthetic, and can entice prospective buyers. The investment may have a higher return if the deck adds usable square footage to the property.

You can nail or screw composite decking, but 3-inch decking screws are the better fastener choice. Unlike nails, decking screws won’t back out of the composite material over time. There’s also little danger of splitting composite material when driving screws, so you don’t need to pre-drill holes unless otherwise recommended by your decking manufacturer.
