"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.

"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!"

"We love our deck!! Craig was a great service provider - very knowledgeable about the Sealwize product and very personable. Our deck was completely cleaned, sealed, and stained in two afternoons and looks beautiful. I'd reccomend Craig and his services to anyone who has outdoor wood surfaces!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, designing builds to fit space constraints and meet functional needs.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

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.
