"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 promptly, completed a thorough walkthrough, and presented a very fair quote for our fence repair needs. He worked with us to identify multiple solutions at more-than agreeable pricing. We decided to go with a full replacement. The work was completed in under two days for our 130-foot fence, and they also cleaned up the yard. We are very satisfied with the work Barnett Fencing and Deck Restorations performed and the extremely fair price we paid."

"I had a difficult time finding a fencing company in the San Antonio area that offered the right combination of quality, affordability, and reliability. After meeting Mark with Noah’s Ark Fencing, I knew I had found the right person for the job. I had an old chainlink fence from a previous project that needed to be removed. Mark provided a fair estimate, gave me a clear timeframe for completing the work, and followed through exactly as promised. From start to finish, Mark was professional, punctual, and committed to doing quality work. He used high quality materials and went above and beyond to address even the smallest concerns I had. His attention to detail and willingness to make sure everything was done right really stood out. I would absolutely recommend Noah’s Ark Fencing to anyone in need of fencing services. Mark’s work is 10 out of 10, and he truly goes above and beyond for his customers. Excellent work, fair pricing, and someone you can count on!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.

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.

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.

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.
