"I would absolutely recommend Building Exteriors They were thorough throughout the whole process of our renovation — from our initial call to completion to project. Luis and staff were consummate professionals. They took the time to hear our concerns and expectations and address them with clarity and honesty throughout the reno process. We never felt pressured into any “upselling” that usually happens with other competitors. It felt that our best interests were always the priority and the experience was so refreshing! All Building Exteriors employees seem to take great pride in their work … as if they were working on their own home. The craftsmanship and attention-to-detail was the best I have ever experienced . They made our home exactly the way we had envisioned it and couldn’t ask for anything more!"

"The words that come first to mind are "conscientious" and "honest." Overall, "professional" describes their attitude. I appreciated being thoroughly advised as to their procedures, and was treated with respect whenever I had a question or concern. When I wanted a change in the original plans, they did as I requested, and with understanding and respect. The work was well done and in a timely manner. And the clean-up was thorough. Now, with my new deck, I no longer worry about my giant dog falling through the rotten wood of the old deck."

"Eric is great! I contacted me through text, it was easier to figure out scheduling. He show up and completed the task. He even discounted us for a scary lil fire that occurred with the wiring. He's a perfect gentleman and very hard worker. My mother will want to hire him to help with our back deck."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.
