"MC Fence & Deck did an amazing job on our new vinyl fence! We wanted something low maintenance but stylish, and they delivered exactly what we asked for. John was super helpful from the start, walking us through our options and giving honest recommendations. The crew worked fast and left the yard clean when they finished. We highly recommend them if you need a fence. Great service and fair pricing!"

First off - we LOVE our deck. It's a great product and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I would definitely recommend Deckorators to people if they want to have a deck installed.

I have done program/project management for many years. When it comes to developing a product, we always concentrated on three things - Cost, Schedule, Performance (i.e. product). We would always say "you can have it good, fast and cheap; but you can only have two". I took this view into our project. So, let me comment on those three areas.

Cost: Deckorators was one of three bid we received.  Deckorators was the only company that fit our budget and gave us what we wanted.  They were 20% less than anything else we asked about. We were a bit reserved about that - you sometimes get what you pay for. But, that never was an issue. We signed a contract for a deck, for a set price, and we assumed we would receive what we asked for. And, we did

Product - We LOVE our deck. We met with Jon Parsons in late February 2015. We described what we wanted, and he drafted plans for what we outlined. They were exactly what we wanted, and we signed a contract soon after. We had to have a concrete patio removed (they did) and had a VERY large Trex deck installed. We wanted river rock under the deck; that was done. The deck we wanted was all Trex, with all posts wrapped. That was done.  They put more posts in than was required, since we wanted to add an outdoor enclosure later on.  All the lights and electrical outlets were installed.  As I said up front - the deck we envisioned and was presented - we got it. 

The patio removal - it was a big project. What looked like a standard patio took 5 days to remove. And, they worked EVERY day. With jack hammers.  They needed 2 dumpsters to haul it away. They removed it all by wheel barrow.  It was NOT an easy task. But, they did it. There were 3 WM bags that had to be hauled. They did that too. And, they were able to preserve our brick and sump pump irrigation without fault. The left the area looking great. Was some grass in disrepair? Sure! That is to be expected with the amount of work they did. I don't care about that.

Also, we had a couple of issues that we noticed, things that we had discussed upfront. They were rectified immediately and without complaint. That was appreciated.

Schedule - this was the one issue of contention, and it didn't need to be.  When I asked Jon how long it would take to install the deck, he told me "5 days". I didn't believe it, not will I ever.  I told him "tell me it'll take 3 weeks, that's fine".  He stuck to his 5 days.  In the end, it took 23 days. Am I upset? Not in the least! I knew it would take longer. It took 5 days to tear up the existing patio (it was like a pillbox on a hill in WW2).  We lost days to weather. We lost days to inspection.  We lost days to waiting on material. We lost days to the workers having other things to do. That's par for the course.  Ultimately, we got our deck done. Done right. Done as we expected it. And, done in 3 weeks like we assumed it would be done.

Lastly, let me say this, something that I told Jon.  We lost all of March to weather and needing to get HOA approval, which we knew we would. We're not unsympathetic to that. Finally, we had approval in mid April, along with a property survey. Then - nothing. No conversation. We reached out via text and email, and got little in response. It made us very frustrated. I told Jon about this on several occasions. I understand that he's busy. The one thing I would recommend to them - be honest and up front with your customers. If you're going to lose days to weather, material delivery, holidays, other projects - say so. If you're busy and can't get back immediately, that's ok too.  Just be up front. I think a lot of reviewers are giving them poor reviews because of lack of communication and unrealistic expectations.

Deckorators did a wonderful job of giving us exactly what we envisioned. It took awhile, but with anyone contractor that's to be expected. We had to keep in contact, but that wasn't as frustrating in retrospection as it was at the time. They met our budget. The final product is outstanding and passed inspection immediately. Their workers were polite and professional.  I would do work with them in the future, without hesitation.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

When building a deck, #2 grade lumber is a go-to for several reasons. It’s strong, budget-friendly, and works well for most framing and decking needs. But upgrading to #1 or Appearance Grade can give your deck that extra visual edge if you're after a cleaner, more polished look for high-visibility spots.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen.
