"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!"

"Our composite deck was showing its age (18 years) and in need of rejuvenation. "The Dexpert" crew was courteous and professional. Joshua and Jordan just completed the surface refinishing and staining of the wooden rails. The deck looks like new and the price was most reasonable. We couldn't be more pleased."

"Andrew and Mike worked with me every step of the deck repair project and listened to what exactly I wanted and my budget limitations. They finished the work in about 3 days and made every effort to salvage as much of the usable material as possible, saving me a lot of money and even recommended tasks that I could do before they started the work to save on labor pay. They took really good care of me and I will trust them for future projects that I will need help with. Highly recommend"

"Aaron and his team are so great to work with! He came out to see my old fence and we came up with a plan for our new one. A few weeks later his crew tore down the old and installed the new one! They are so clean throughout the whole process. They made sure they kept the neighbors yard clean as well. I will recommend them to everyone!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Generally, a patio is more accessible than a standard deck because patios are constructed at ground level. However, decks can be made accessible by adding a wheelchair-accessible ramp, a vertical lift, or a stair lift along the entry. An ADA-compliant deck ramp costs about $3,000 on average. The additional investment will provide a much friendlier experience for your guests with movement impairments.

Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could build a floating deck in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.

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.

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.
