"I cannot say enough about Deck Buddy. I hired them to replace our 1000 sq ft deck with Trex and to build a small extension. Not only were they one of the least expensive quotes I received, they did an excellent job. Inevitably, home improvement projects come with hiccups, which this project had a few of (some of them due to miscommunication on my part), but the staff and workers of Deck Buddy rolled with every issue and adjusted the plan or fixed an issue or misunderstanding as needed to perfection. Their customer service is impeccable. I would hire them again in a heartbeat, but I won't need to because my deck is superb and I won't change a thing for years."

"My husband and I wanted to upgrade our garage completing old damaged drywall and finish painting, Tony came in and did an outstanding job on it. He did a lot in a timely manner. We also had some odd jobs to do and he did a great job on them as well. Tony is professional, talented and prides himself in doing a great job. After everything was done he cleaned up everything. We would recommend Tony for any home projects. Paul & Sara"

Customers say: Quick response

"Our decks were a problem from the start. We needed to re-surface both front decks and we wanted to use composite decking, but retain the original railing. NVD striped the railing and repainted it all, then they removed the old wood decking and replaced it with Timber Tec. While doing this, they discovered my old deck was NOT square. Danny and his crew did a EXCELLENT job replacing the decking, using a product they were unfamiliar with. While they were doing this, my wife and I wanted to add a "Dog Gate" to the project to keep our dogs on the deck. Danny came up with a custom roll out gate that was made to look like the same as the original railing. Honestly, when it's closed, you can't tell it's there. I think so much of NVD Construction, I had them roof my house the following month . I highly recommend NVD Construction."
 Another fine job.

"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!"

"Cleaned gutters on two story colonial and also gutters on addition and two car garage.  Several gutters were badly in need of cleaning/unclogging.  Also, Vince adjusted several downspouts, added support brackets, and repaired a few supports on gutters.  We are very pleased with the work."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

Yes, deck pier blocks can be used as an alternative to traditional deck footings, especially for smaller or low-to-the-ground decks. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks do not require digging or pouring. However, their use is dependent on local building codes. Some areas, particularly those prone to high winds, earthquakes, or hurricanes, may not permit the use of deck pier blocks. It is essential to consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck project.
