"My experience with Marco and Johnathan of deck rescue was great. Their finished work was great. The cleanup was good. They were very polite, on time and very affordable. Would definitely use them again."

"Dave was very professional and prompt. He answered all of questions without hesitation which told us that he has been in the business for quite awhile. He takes his time and and thoroughly cleans up after his job is complete. I would definitely recommend him for pressure washing decks. He also does deck staining."

"Service was great - they were very responsive and finished the job quickly.  New trim looks perfect.  Price also came in slightly under original estimate.  Would definitely recommend!

"It was ok. I chose them because I thought they had good reviews and the big deal seemed to be a fair price. They were very professional and they cleaned up their messes. It was a big deal purchase. They didn’t charge anything extra. The price was just for the inspection and they didn’t fix anything or do any maintenance. I think the price could have been a little bit lower. The quality seems good."

"I called three Angie's List companies for estimates on tuckpointing work that was needed on our home. This was the first time we've ever needed this type of work done. We chose J & B Restoration based on their responsiveness to our request for a quote, their Angie's List ratings, and price. Bruce and Jennifer Sell are very professional and attentive, and it was nice working with them. When I asked Bruce to reattach the gutters, which was outside of the work I had originally asked for, he came right away and took care of the items requested. The crew performing the tuckpointing were neat, courteous, and professional. The finished tuckpointing looks great and is barely noticeable! The new mortar matches the existing color almost perfectly, and the lines are clean and straight. We just had landscaping done prior, but J & B kept the area around our home neat and clean. I would recommend J & B to anyone needing the restoration services they provide."

"I had 3 price quotes on the exterior painting job and Majic Painting was one of the best rates. The finished porch and deck look great -- very professionally done and clearly quality work. The only glitch I experienced in working with this company is that there were a number of hold ups and general lack of communication about the start-date, but once the job was underway, they prioritized it and the entire project was completed in a timely manner. Both the owner and the employees were very professional and courteous. I would recommend this company to a friend!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

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.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

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.
