"This job was a deck cleaning and refinish as well as 2 privacy walls that are lattice, meaning more work. The men who did the work (Beto and Julian) are top-notch! These 2 men always consulted with me when they found a problem with my deck. (It is 20 or more years old and has had some structure issues) At their suggestion I had some of the decking and support replaced. These men cared as much about the quality of the work as I would have, had I done the work myself. They very much wanted to be sure that I was satisfied with the work every step of the way. Beto and Julian made me feel as comfortable as anybody could. (I do work at the homes of people and I know that it is important to make a customer feel comfortable at their own home, Julian and Beto do just that!!!) I would have NO PROBLEM whatsoever having Integrity come back and do work for me. This is a very good company."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

A quality, well-maintained PVC decking can last 30 to 50 years. It’s known for being one of the most durable types of decking materials, with composite decking having a 25- to 30-year average lifespan and some softwood deckings only lasting 10 to 15 years. Luxury hardwood decks like Ipe may last longer than PVC decking, but they can cost more and require more maintenance.

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. 

The time to build a vinyl deck varies based on factors like size, the complexity of the design, and weather conditions. Generally, a straightforward project might take a few days to a couple of weeks for preparation, installation, and any necessary inspections. However, larger or more intricate designs may extend the timeline. Timely acquisition of permits, efficient planning, and coordination with contractors will all help to make the construction process as smooth and quick as possible.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.
