"These guys came in and pulled carpeting from my whole house and installed laminate flooring throughout. They were fast and efficient and professional from day one and worked steady until the job was done. The final product is just amazing. I can't say enough good things about this company. I will hire them again."

"Carlos and his crew were excellent. They were here when they said they would. They did an excellent job of power washing the house and taking the black off the logs of the house. The home was way past due for staining. Carlos made sure we were happy with the color BEFORE they applied to the house. We have spindle railings and they did an awesome job. They also did the deck floor. Amazing! They covered the windows so the stain didn’t get on them. I can’t say enough good things… Highly recommend!!!!"

Hello, my name is Dakota Kangas! I am a 24 year old carpenter and have been in the construction occupation for 6 years! Some of my jobs have included 12 family apartment buildings, decks, remodels on bathrooms and interiors of homes! Owned a business for 1 year building spec homes for Tycore but decided it wasn’t for me. In my free time, I like to be outdoors hiking, camping, softball, volleyball, DIY projects, hunting, fishing, and working out. I am currently serving in the U.S Army National Guard and have been for the past 6 years! I would love to be able to make your home look better with quality work! I look forward to hearing back from you! \n\nHave a great day! \n-Dakota Kangas

"I called and left messages requesting information from three different deck installation companies. Tech Five was the only company that bothered to call me back and it was even within 24 hours. Nick and his crew were excellent from start to finish. Nick came out the next day and evaluated the project with great suggestions and thorough explanation. He was extremely knowledgeable of, and accommodating to, what we wanted regarding our new deck. The crew was polite, friendly, efficient and knew just what they were doing. They provided excellent quality of work and ran on schedule. I would highly recommend Tech Five for your deck building needs!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.
