Customers say: Quick response

"Despite a spring of constant rain, Vince got the decks and stairs cleaned and in the case of the upper deck, sealed, in time for a large family party as I'd hoped. He pointed out where the wood has been compromised and thus recommended sealing those boards as well. I appreciated his attention to all aspects of the project. I plan to hire him each year for maintenance going forward."

"Absolutely thrilled to have found J Kirch when I was looking for a contractor to add a deck to my home. Workmanship was top notch. The deck looks terrific. I got estimates from 4 contractors and J Kirch provided the most value, got my work done sooner than any other contractor could commit to, and the team answered all my questions in rapid fashion. I Highly recommend considering J Kirch!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

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. 

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.
