"I was so impressed with Bruce and this company. They always responded promptly (which is a really big deal up here in Door County). Bruce came out and measured the deck I needed power washed and stained and showed me color choices. He then setup an appointment with me and his crew actually arrived as planned. They used quality materials. After the deck dried there were some patches that didn’t absorb the stain as well as other spots. I talked to Bruce about my concerns. He came out immediately and agreed that it needed a second coat. The crew came back. I was so pleased with the way this company stood behind their work and wanted it to be perfect. I am 100% pleased and will hire N.E.W. again in a heartbeat."

"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

"Great! They spent 2 days repairing a poor roofing job that lead to our leaking and a several nests of wasps invading house. They also did a great job cleaning our gutters this spring.

They will be returning next spring for another issue we need addressed.

We were very happy with this company, Ben is very easy to talk with.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.

Composite decking boards aren't your only options for building a deck. There are several other types of materials for decks, including wood and aluminum decking. Wood decking comes in many different wood species, offering natural beauty and classy timelessness to your yard. Aluminum is a lightweight, water-resistant, and low-maintenance material that is also non-slip.

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. 

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.
