"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"

"Joseph is fantastic. Prompt, good communication, met deadline. He and his crew were great. Really happy with how well all three phases turned out. Our patio looks great, the driveway is perfect, and he put in a sizable wall for us. Did a really, really nice job; quality is 100% there. Would definitely hire again and would absolutely recommend. Thanks, Joseph!"

"Ecostar Remodeling exceeded our expectations with the outdoor deck they built. We wanted a space for entertaining, and they designed a layout that flows beautifully from the inside of the house to the backyard. The quality of the materials is excellent, and you can tell the craftsmanship is built to last. The team was organized, efficient, and respectful of our property throughout the process. Now we have a gorgeous deck where we can relax with family and friends, and it has quickly become the highlight of our home."

"It went great. The owner showed up with the crew, told us how much it would cost, and then his crew took care of the job. If we felt that the trim on the house needed another coat, the crew came back and put another coat of paint on, all a part of the original price. I can say that was service with a smile."

"I had a hard time finding anyone to bid this project from Angie's List. Contacted several people who never responded or made appointments and never showed. All had A ratings? Out of three who actually showed up. Two provided bids. Harry from About Time was the higher of the two but I felt he understood the challanges of working on an older building. Project took longer than expected to complete however I am happy with end result. Harry has good communication and addressed all all of my concerns. In the end he made sure I was satisfied before closing out the project."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Composite decking might cost more upfront, but it delivers value in terms of durability. Unlike wood, composite material resists common deck problems such as rotting, fading, warping, and all the other things you don’t want a deck to do. The extra processes lead to a higher price tag, but you’ll save big in maintenance costs down the road.

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. 

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.

How long it takes to install composite decking depends on the size of the decking material, the skills of the person installing the deck, the number of people helping, and how much prep work needs to be done before you can begin. Generally speaking, it takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks to build a composite deck.

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.
