"We would recommend Deck Rescue for all of your deck cleaning and staining. Carlos came out right after being contacted to give an estimate. He is extremely friendly and easygoing, yet also very professional. He quoted us a very reasonable price for the work on our deck (@1300 square feet with benches, planters, and railings), so we hired him. He gave us @48 hoursâ notice before coming out to do the cleaning of the deck, which was spotty and stained with algae. His process not only cleaned the deck but also got rid of the stains. After completing the cleaning, he told us heâ d be coming back in 4 days when the weather would be most favorable to do the staining. Carlos confirmed the appointment both the day before and the day of the staining. He spent most of the day staining the deck. His work was impeccable. He was very careful not to overspray areas and also to make sure the stain covered properly. In two years, Carlos and Deck Rescue will be our first choice for taking care of our deck."

"Carlos from Deck Salvage, LLC did a fantastic job on my deck. He repaired loose screws, stained it beautifully, and left the area spotless. Very professional and even included a two year warranty. I’m so glad I chose them! Jo Ann"

"We moved into a new home in September. Durning the first big rain of the following spring we had water leaking into our kitchen. We gave Scott a call right away. He came out on a Sunday afternoon to check it out. He found that the previous owners had installed the flashing on our roof incorrectly. Within a short period of time they came out and fixed it for us. We have not had any leaking since. We would highly recommend Watry Homes they were great to work with, quick to respond, and did great work.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

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.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

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.
