"C&S is outstanding. Jose and his team were thorough, profession and had great attention to detail. They repainted my shed roof that was a mess and refinished my wood deck and railing. I highly recommend this contractor!"

"We hired them to paint our upstairs living room and hallway, and our stair-case going to the downstairs. They did a great job. One thing that really impressed us was how conscientious they are. Billy (the supervisor) would touch base with us each day to discuss the work done, and to ensure it was done to our satisfaction. I will definitely use them again."

"Anyone who knows me knows I am not easily impressed because I have such high expectations. However this company exceeded even my expectations day in and day out! I have had many home improvement projects done in my life. Bathrooms, kitchens, fences, roofs and decks and I have never been happier with the services and results as I have been with Sione (Jay Concrete & Construction) and the driveway they did for me. IT IS BEAUTIFUL! Sione and his crew were here working everyday exactly when they said they would be. They were polite friendly and professional. Even my neighbors commented on their professional and safety conscious ways. Every step of the way, I was consulted and listened too by everyone on the crew. Each night the messes made were cleaned and made ready for the next days work. My project had a completion due day of May 1. It was completed by April 26. AMAZING! They were so great at the job and done early!!! I will work with them again on future projects and recommend them to anyone needing beautiful concrete work done."

"Durrant was very conscientious and quickly took on the job. He invested 50% more time than he bid to complete the work. His equipment was challenged by the scope of the job, but he persevered to get the best result. The pergola was added later."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.
