"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!!!"
"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!"
"Rich Johnson just finished our project today, and I am very happy with the end result. He helped us move furniture, ripped out carpet, replaced interior doors and closet doors, including cutting them to size, adjusting them, and moving a door jam. He also ripped out and replaced door and window trim, baseboards, and turned a door around. He found a small leak that had caused some wall damage, and he replaced the sheetrock and mudded that. His woodworking and mudding skills are excellent. My neighbor was impressed with his matching-mitered corners. Then he filled nail holes and cracks to prep for paint. Next time, I will ask him to fill the mitered corners with wood filler instead of caulk, since I completed that before painting. He is a very pleasant guy to work with, extremely easy to communicate and work with. He often came to me to ask how I wanted something done, instead of just doing it his way. He completed the job to my happy satisfaction."
"Awesome company to work with. Very professional and finished quality work in the given time frame. The owner was here everyday to make sure work was inspected. I Would definitely recommend them for any deck needs."
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Luke did an outstanding job repairing our vinyl flooring. We had to use replacement flooring that was the closest match we could find, even though it was a slightly different size. His craftsmanship was incredible—you’d never know there had ever been a damaged section in the middle of the room. He was honest, extremely responsive, and very easy to work with throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and quality of work exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Luke to anyone needing vinyl flooring repairs!"
In the majority of cases, you don’t need regulatory permission or permits to remove decking components and materials. However, the exception is if you live in or near a wildlife conservation area, which could require permits and consent prior to beginning the demolition. Check with a local regulatory agency for more information.
Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.
When sourced responsibly, the most sustainable wood decking options are timber trees like redwood, pine, Douglas fir, Nootka cypress, and Western red cedar. These tree species are fast-growing with low carbon emissions. Plus, most timber woods make durable deck materials because of their resistance to rot and decay over time.
While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.
Yes, Ipe wood is a popular high-end choice for pool decking. It repels water and is naturally slip-resistant. It's not susceptible to mold, mildew, or rot, either, so it lasts longer and is cleaner and more hygienic than other popular decking materials. However, remember that due to its status, it is a very high-cost wood, and you might find that an alternative would serve you just as well for significantly less.
