"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

An above-ground pool with a deck can increase your home's value by as much as 4% to 7%, but it depends on your local climate, potential buyers, and the size and condition of your pool. Some buyers see a pool as a liability instead of a luxury, especially if it's at the end of its life span. In general, it's best to add a pool and deck to your property if it will bring you enjoyment—not because it raises the value of your home.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

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.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.
