"We had this deck repair done in 2019 by a contractor that didn't know what they were doing. Troy came in and expertly repaired our deck and made it safe again. He was fantastic to deal with and did a great job. We will definitely use Troy-Bilt again!"

"They did a great job from the salesman to the roofers. Everything the salesman told me (and he went thru everything that would be done, step by step) was done from the materials being dropped off the day before to the clean up after the roof was done. I hope I don.t ever need it but the 50 year / unlimited wind guarantee isnice and it's even transferable if i ever want to move"

"The job went very well. Mr. Kirby gave me an approximate start date which was several months out which did not concern me. Because of his reputation he is very busy and my situation did not require immediate attention. When it became close to the original approximate start date I contacted Mr. Kirby and he told me it would be later than anticipated because of adverse weather conditions which I easily understand. Mr. Kirby notified me when he would be able to start and we consulted about the stain color and were able to match the original color perfectly from an old can of paint that had fortunately been left. He arrived early on the start date and as promised first powerwashed the house. He washed my small deck at no charge. The deck was not included in the original estimate. That was done gratis. Then the caulking commenced and when completed the windows were covered with plastic and painting commenced. We lost almost a week of painting because Mr. Kirby had a family emergency which sometimes is unavoidable and I understand. Life doesn't always go smoothly! After a four day break, Mr. Kirby commenced the painting and finished the work in three days. He also did an interior repair that was needed as a result of a roof leak. The damage is no longer visible. He charged $75.00. Another company gave me an estimate of $500! Several days after the work was completed I realized there was some tape residue on the outside of a second story window and contacted Mr. Kirby. He was here two days later and took care of that and some paint spots on a storm door. Mr. Kirby is a consummate craftsman and as a bonus, is a delightful person. I would not hesitate to recommend his services. I have several interior interior projects for next year and will definitely be using him."

"I just called Mr. Swingle yesterday.  Ironically he was close by and came right over.  Besides the work that was done for me he gave me great advice on products to use to maintain my deck, sidewalks, and patio.  Everything had gotten really dirty and moldy because my last experience with having things cleaned was just so unsatisfactory, and I just put off trying to find someone else.  Hydraulic Powerwash was recommended to me by a friend.  Two thumbs up!!"

"Both times excellent! The driveway had a lot of moss growing on it; after the power wash, it looked great just like that! Then he came about a week later to power wash the house and deck, with the same fantastic results! Will definitely hire again! Price reflected below is for both jobs: $100 for the 125 foot driveway, and $275 for the two-story colonial, jobs completed within 10 days."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.

Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.

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.

The problems with composite decking include a high rate of expansion and contraction from temperature swings. This characteristic can cause boards to split, delaminate, or peel. In addition, significant movement can cause shrinking, warping, twisting, and bending. For this reason, you should minimize moisture and ensure proper airflow below your deck.
