"Antonio did an amazing job with adding stairs to our deck! Thorough and meticulous, always punctual, great communication, and answered all our questions. Perfect job! Gary was extremely helpful with the cleanup, removing excess materials, moving soil to different parts of the yard, and making sure the backyard was back in order. Really appreciate everyone's hard work and highly recommend!"

"Chris did a very good job bringing our deck back to the way it was when we bought the house. Very professional and knowledgeable of the issues related to deck work. We got two quotes and, though Chris was a bit more, we decided to go with him as he seems a bit more knowledgeable. Prep work was done on a Friday and the stain work was to be done the following Tuesday. Chris called at about 1200 Tuesday to say he wasn't going to be able to make it due to issues with the availability of his helper. He returned the next day, Wednesday, to complete the work and did a good job of it. Small issues were identified on the final walk thru and he quickly corrected them. Time is really the true test of the quality of the restain effort, but for now it looks very good."

"Tony power washed and stained the deck and fences as required. He did the work over a 2 weekend period to adjust to changing spring weather conditions which weren't favorable for staining. Tony is a very reliable contractor and I would use his services again for future deck and fence painting."

"We hired them to build a wood deck and pergola in our backyard. Jarrod was assigned to our project. He helped us choose materials that would last and stay within our budget. The deck turned out beautiful. The pergola adds just the right amount of shade and really makes the space feel like an outdoor room. The whole process took about 2 weeks and they kept us updated throughout. Great company that delivers what they promise!"

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

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.
