"Ian Gray was very professional,showed up on time, called if he was going to be late, hired extra help when weather put him behind schedule, made useful suggestions to improve project, and had pictures to show what the work would look like when finished. I have already asked Ian to put my next project on his schedule for next year. He did a wonderful job on my deck and railing, I already have had many compliments on how good it looks."

"They were doing some work at my neighbors house. I asked if they did side walks and carports. The gentleman came over and gave me a quote. When they finished next door they come over and did all my cemented areas. I highly recommend them. He was going to include my wooden deck and small back porch. I told him my front porch/deck was OK but he could do the back one."

This is not a nationally owned franchise. This is East Texas owned and operated and the owner is personable and enjoys what he does for a living. He knows what he is talking about and we would recommend him to anyone."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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. 

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.

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. 

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.

How long it takes to install composite decking depends on the size of the decking material, the skills of the person installing the deck, the number of people helping, and how much prep work needs to be done before you can begin. Generally speaking, it takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks to build a composite deck.
