"I hired Shay to do some work on my deck in my other home. It turned out so nice. I was 100% satisfied with his work. I will be calling on his service again when needed."

"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

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Some elevated decks require stairs that lead to the ground level per the local fire codes in some municipalities. In other regions, a staircase is an optional feature that can increase accessibility and convenience for homeowners who want ground-level access to their deck. Additionally, a staircase is necessary if your home doesn't have an existing door leading to the deck.

The best material for your deck depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it’s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking.

The least expensive way to build a pool deck is with concrete deck blocks, pressure-treated lumber, and the appropriate hardware for hanging joists and securing deck boards. With these basic yet durable deck materials, you'll have a pool deck that's built to last without the high price tag. You should also stain or seal the deck to protect it against the elements.

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.
