"Can?t say enough good things about Tom Vinzant and his friendly crew at North Beach Contractors. Tom and his dad looked over my house and gave me excellent advice on repairs and maintenance. They were here working on my house for two weeks to paint and otherwise spruce up the exterior and make repairs. One reason I chose them, other than their many glowing references, is that Tom offers one-stop shopping: cleaning, repairs, and painting all done by North Beach Contractors. Tom has a talented and diligent crew. They were always here at 9 am and worked over consecutive days to completion. It looks like they did excellent work and they left my property completely clean of any debris. My house looks nice and I am very happy. Tom Vinzant is wonderful to work with: hardworking, smart, kind, reliable, and honest. I will definitely be hiring North Beach Contractors again in the future. They are licensed, bonded, and insured."

"They did a real good job. They were real professional. We can now open the garage door from the inside of the house and now it is so smooth that we have to check to see if we hit the button to open it or close it.  Before we used to know when it was opening or closing because it used to make a noise. It helps when you move to a city where you are new. "

"Double KC Painting did an efficient and quality job. They were there when they said they would be and done when they said they would be. They also helped us with window finishing that another company fell short on. We are having them do our siding as a 2nd project. Communication with Kevin is great. I will hire them again for sure!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Materials for a second-story deck must be weather- and rot-resistant, though the specific choices will largely be determined by your budget and style preference. Pressure-treated wood is on the lower end of the price scale, but it can be customized and stained the way you like it. Composite, on the other hand, is pricier for installation and has fewer options for customization, but you’ll save money and time in the long run because it requires little maintenance.

The life expectancy of deck boards varies widely based on the material, climate, and maintenance. Untreated wood boards typically last 10 to 30 years with proper care, while pressure-treated boards can last up to 50 years. Hardwoods generally outlast softwoods. Composite boards also tend to last longer than natural wood. Environmental factors like arid or humid climates can shorten a deck's lifespan. To extend the life of wood decking, it's important to consistently clean and seal it to protect against moisture, UV light, and insects.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

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.
