"Fastidious perfectionist. A job very well done. Danny knows his craft very well, and his work clearly shows that. He rebuilt my front porch and fixed things that I didn't know were bad. I will hire Danny again to re-do the back deck and more."
"Wes did a great job power washing our house, deck and driveway and staining our deck. He's an independent worker and cleaned up when he was done. Price and workmanship were excellent."
"Excellent workmanship, professionally done!!! They installed a knee wall and screened in our back porch. It looks like it came with the house!!! The attention to detail and craftsmanship were outstanding. Likewise, the finished room they completed looks like it came with the house. The crews were punctual, kept their work areas clean and were a pleasure to work with. Raul is outstanding. Really enjoyed the experience with them. Would definitely recommended and hire again!"
"The only regret I have about hiring Travis Graham/Graham Restoration was that I didn't find him sooner! I needed a variety of jobs done to get our house ready for the market, and Travis was able to take care of ALL of them, quickly and professionally. He painted the exterior and replaced rotted and dog-chewed wood trim, replaced pickets, replaced damaged siding, replaced boards on our deck, did some gutter repair (actually repaired some guttering that I thought would have to be replaced, thus saving me considerable expense) and did a small plumbing job. Travis was very responsive to my initial call and follow-up emails. I needed the work done in a hurry and it was also during that period where it rained for three weeks putting the schedule into turmoil since much of the work was outside. Travis communicated about what he could/couldn't do because of the weather and looked for openings in the weather to get the jobs done. For my jobs, he charged an hourly rate plus materials (and I had almost all material on-site) and he does not waste time. He doesn't hurry but he works quickly and methodically and stages the jobs to get the most done in the least time. In short, I'm sure I'll have another punchlist once we have a buyer for our house and subsequent home inspection, and I will absolutely call Travis to take care of it."

"Kenny Ferguson is very responsive to customer requests. He communicates well to the customer and to his men. Fernado and Mike were very careful in their work and aimed to please the customer. The lights and painted ceiling looked great. They were very pleasant and yet professional in their attitude and work. They cleaned up everything when they were done. I have another job waiting for Kenny and his team to install an attic fan. I have confidence that they will do good work as they have done in the past. "
"The work was excellent. Brian McCracken performed a walk-though with me and provided detailed written estimates for the interior and exterior work. He explained the options and costs for each of the tasks, and was prompt in scheduling the jobs. His teams are first rate. Communication is excellent and they leave the site clean and tidy each day. There was not a drip of stray stray paint anywhere during or after the jobs. I especially appreciated the interior service. They emptied the closets and replaced everything after as they went along. They also took down and rehung all of the pictures and moved furniture as necessary. They were very responsive to follow-up issues (not their fault) with the fit of the front door after painting and replacing the seal. They came back twice to make adjustments and the final outcome was exactly what i wanted. All American was recommended to me by a friend who was very impressed with their exterior work on his townhouse. I recommended them to a neighbor who is also very pleased with their interior painting. They are not the lowest bidder but their prices are fair and the work is of the highest quality."
"To start Walther and partner Chris showed up.. ON TIME…I’m a busy man. They immediately made us feel comfortable, they broke down everything my wife and I expected and now! We’re just waiting for our next project….. THE DECK!"
"This was such an awesome experience. Quality work, cleaned up, super friendly, regularly communicated and just overall helpful. Would absolutely recommend this company and will definitely be using them again!"
A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.
No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.
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.
Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint.
PVC decking can get slippery when wet because it’s made from plastic. However, composite and wood decking can also be slippery when wet. It’s best to wear shoes with grippy soles when walking on a wet deck, no matter the material, and to be extra cautious not to slip and fall down.
