Not only does deck skirting make the deck look more complete, but it can also turn otherwise unused space beneath the deck into useful storage space.</p></div>

Q: How many steps on a deck before you need a railing?

• <div><p>Local building codes don&rsquo;t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.</p></div>

Q: Is pressure-treated decking worth it?

• <div><p>Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it&rsquo;s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/which-best-decking-material-wood-or-composite.htm">composite decking</a>, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to sand a deck?

• <div><p>The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods. </p></div>

Q: How long does a vinyl deck last?

• <div><p>With proper installation and maintenance, a vinyl deck can last up to <b>30 years</b>. Factors like regular cleaning, minimal wear and tear, proper installation, and the use of higher-grade materials can extend its durability. However, extreme weather conditions or neglecting maintenance might shorten its lifespan. Adhering to manufacturer recommendations for care and occasional inspections can significantly prolong a vinyl deck's longevity.</p></div>

"Very professional. We were very satisfied. They were punctual and knowledgeable about carpet cleaning. Everything looks new! We've never had the same carpet cleaner come twice. We will definitely call NorthStar again. I would request the same man again. He was committed and dedicated to the job! (One piece of small furniture was not moved in my daughter's room and she was disappointed...but not enough to cloud my view of the entire job.)"
