"Our project was a fence repair. Dennis from Start to Finish contacted us and asked us some particulars about the scope of the work and to send him some pics of the damage. He responded right away with an estimate and his availability. He arrived on time with the right materials and tools, and went right to work. The repairs are exactly what we wanted and what he promised. Dennis was professional and competent. Highly recommended."

"So I hired Alex to stain our exterior deck with stairs. I was very, very happy with how it turned out. I really appreciated the prompt communication and timely completion. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out and I thought the price was very reasonable. I wish I had some before pictures but I forgot to take them, but here’s the after pictures. It’s quite a bit different than what it look liked."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Decks require several inspections during and after the building process, but the specifics vary depending on where you live. Most areas mandate that decks comply with local building codes and safety regulations for the foundation, framing, and structure. Some pros recommend a footing inspection, which verifies the depth, width, and location of the various footings to ensure they offer enough foundational support.

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.

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.
