"Tony is fantastic, he did a lot of projects in our home, drywall replacement, installed hardwood floors, painted, performed extensive work on our deck to make it safe & stable, repaired our French doors. He did a huge job of cleaning & detailing my Grandmothers house to sell (we got $40,000 over asking price). My son hired him to frame, drywall the basement in a house he bought. He framed in & installed a hanging microwave, framed in the dishwasher as well. All in all Tony is a great guy & does awesome work. Would absolutely hire him again."

"David and his Roofing Team (led by Luis, then later George), did a wonderful job repairing a large section of my roof. They quickly and expertly removed, then replaced a large section of roofing. Further, his team was extremely friendly and very attentive to my description of the issues and the concerns I had. The repaired section completely blends into the original section, and I am confident that after talking to them and observing their work, this section will last for years and years! Well done!"

"this is the second time we've had john's painting do work for us. both jobs turned out perfect. we could not be happier. the work was done when he said it would be and finished when he said it would be. when the work was done the only way you could tell he was there were the rooms where a different color. john's does outstanding work, very reasonable, and very professional. would never consider using any one else."

"Justin was very professional, fast, easy to work with and did a great job. He made sure to ask questions for clarification of what we wanted and to point out any issues he saw while he was working on our basement. We were very pleased with the work he did."

"I hired Everlast to put up my new ceiling fan, and the entire process couldn’t have been easier. The owner himself, David, came out to ensure things went smoothly, and they did a fantastic job installing it. Shortly after, I hired them again to replace my mother’s light fixtures. I highly recommend Everlast to anyone in need of quality, simple, and convenient installation services!"

"I had Sebastian come out and build me a Trex platform deck in my back yard off the patio for barbecuing and extra hangout space. He made my vision come to life and his timeliness and quality of work will make me hire Six Point Contracting again. I definitely recommend these guys if you’re looking for a quality job done within budget."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

For the best results, stay off of your deck for at least 48 hours after sealing it. Giving the sealant at least two full days to cure ensures it can fully penetrate the wood, giving you the most protection from sun and weather damage later on. Walking on the deck too soon can prevent it from properly curing and cause your deck to weather prematurely.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

Many composite decking manufacturers, including the popular Trex brand, offer warranties that protect against warping under specific conditions. These warranties typically last between 20 and 50 years, but they usually exclude claims related to improper installation of the product. Some manufacturer warranties only cover decks built by certified professionals.
