"Carlos and the team from Deck Salvage were on time, very efficient, and we had great communication about the job. Powerwashing went smooth and the staining of the decks is beyond what I expected. I am happy to give them 5 stars and would recommend them for any deck job. We couldn’t be more pleased."

"LEN AND HIS CREW WERE A JOY TO HAVE IN MY HOUSE. THEY WERE 5 MINUTES EARLY AND WITHIN 15 MINUTES THEY WERE PREPPING THE JOB. LOTS OF REPLASTERING WAS NEEDED ON MY 100+ YEAR OLD HOUSE. IT LOOKED LIKE WE HAD NEW WALLS WHEN THEY WERE DONE. THEY WERE VERY CLEAN AND TRIED AS BEST AS THEY COULD TO MASK OFF THE OTHER AREAS OF THE HOUSE. ALL OF THE GUYS ON THE CREW THANKED ME FOR THE HIRE AT THE END OF THE JOB AND LEN WAS A REALLY NICE GUY TO WORK WITH."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

Finding a reputable deck builder should start with speaking with a local company and asking for samples of past work and references. You can review the company’s workmanship and speak with past customers to learn what the customer service was like throughout the process. It’s also a good idea to read online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to see if the company has a history of customer complaints. If you can get a referral from a family member or friend, that’s another great option.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor 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 crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.
