"Vaun was amazing. He came the same day as I requested and they completed the deck repair very quickly. They did an amazing job and we can once again use our deck. The price was much less than we thought it would be! I will hire Silver Lake Construction for all of my needs. Thank you!!!"
"Recently, we had Sage Decks build us quite a large Trex deck on the back of our house, George and Evan were really great to work with! They had our deck built in less than a week. We also had them put in lighting on the top area of the posts in the railing, and also on the steps. The deck turned out beautiful! We love our new deck! We would recommend Sage Decks to everyone! We give them 5 stars!"
"Great quality work! Hired Nate for a deck repair/rebuild project that Iâ d put off for years. My only regret is I hadnâ t done this earlier. Thanks Nate!"
"Very responsible company. Did exactly what they said they'd do, no hidden fees, very fair price. They did a little damage (minor) in executing this heavy job, and fixed the damage without having to be asked. Would definitely recommend this company to others, and use them again myself if needed."
"I couldn’t be happier with the job Noah did. From start to finish, the work was fast, precise, and extremely professional. Every detail was done right, and the finished deck looks amazing.
They used Trex decking, which in my opinion is the best product on the market, and the quality really shows. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the deck feels solid and built to last.
Noah came highly recommended by a previous customer/friend, and he absolutely lived up to the recommendation. I would not hesitate to recommend McElhaney customs to anyone looking for a high-quality deck done efficiently and correctly."
"Justin came and gave a consult and the next day was able to help us out with our garage project and they were so fast, efficient and so kind! We got so lucky to work with someone so kind and trustworthy. Highly recommend!"
"Cesar did an awesome job! He removed three large concrete footings left from some old fence posts, and then installed three new 4x4 fence posts with new concrete footings. He gave me a bid, started that same day, and then finished on the second day. I couldn't have been more pleased. He works hard, is honest and reliable. Thank you Cesar!"
"Pepe did an Excellent job repairing, stripping and painting my deck. He also primed and painted my garage. Both came out Fantastic and he was very clean. I highly recommend this painting company to anyone. They are Professional and reasonably priced. I would hire them again for future projects. Thank you for the Awesome work you performed at my home."
"TYLER with freedom builders was excellent in his communication and scheduling the project. They were able to get it done on time and on budget. They were able to install a privacy fence to limit track views from neighbors."
Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.
Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat damage.
If you want to make a deck cleaner from products already in your home, there are various options. The most common is to use a gentle blend of 1 gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia-free dish soap. You can also mix water with distilled vinegar. Sprinkling on some baking soda can help to remove mold and mildew. You can add oxygen bleach (but never damaging chlorine bleach) to the water and ammonia-free dish soap solution for something a bit stronger.
Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.
