"I originally wanted to stain the deck, but they offered to extend the deck, fix a rotted fence post, replace a couple of cracked fence slats, and stain the fence. The warranty offered, services performed, and personal references they suggested for other types of work makes Lara Fence and Stain a formidable business partner."

"I don't usually give 5 star ratings, but this is an exception. My deck was a mess from dogs running, and weather damage. Chris and his helper inspected the deck, gave me an estimate and actualy arrived as scheduled a few days later. Chris suggested the stain color and I couldn't be more pleased! It has made the cedar deck look absolutely beautiful! Will call him again when it's time to stain the fence."

"Great work and great customer service! We have no complaints. They did an excellent job with our walkway in front of our house. They were courteous, respectful, and cleared away all material when they were done. I really appreciate the communication, verifying the details of what we wanted in advance and then letting us know how the job was progressing. We will definitely call them back for our next home improvement project!"

"Our front porch was first pressure washed. Then after it dried, was acid treated, then painted the same color as our slab that he painted previously, then sprinkled with flecks. It really looks great, and it’s slip proof-even if rain gets on it! We’re very happy of the job Jose did on our front porch!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

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.

Some elevated decks require stairs that lead to the ground level per the local fire codes in some municipalities. In other regions, a staircase is an optional feature that can increase accessibility and convenience for homeowners who want ground-level access to their deck. Additionally, a staircase is necessary if your home doesn't have an existing door leading to the deck.
