"After refinishing our deck twice on our own with mediocre results both times, we finally decided to bring in a pro - and we couldn’t be happier with that decision. 507 Decks did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication was clear and prompt, the service was professional, and most importantly we now have a deck we can actually enjoy for years to come. If you’re in the Winona area and need deck work done right, 507 Decks is the call to make."
"Lrec did a fantastic job making some updates to my home. Ryan was very responsive and had quick solutions to roadblocks that were unexpected. He was very thorough, left the job site clean and ensured the work was completed to my satisfaction at a price point that is fair. I would recommend Lrec for any home projects."

"he did pretty good for a cratched up deck to work with i would probably not try the method we used which involved staining would probably go with painting and maybe have the work done by same person . ."
"I hired Greg to perform multiple projects in and outside of my house. Greg does excellent work and projects I had Greg fix was a leaking chimney with multiple areas surrounding the chimney which leaked into my living room and closet. Chimney was replaced and fixtures and sealing were done to fix the leak. His work is perfection. This was a huge issue resolved with. There are many other projects which Greg fixed which include, however, not limited to some electrical outlet work and replacement, repaired a leaking faucet which leaked into my family room ceiling, repair of ceiling from leaks into family room. Outside of my house Greg fixed the overhang below the gutters which had come apart by wear and tear of the weather over the years. My drapes in my living room were replaced with blinds. Again excellent excellent work performed. I highly recommend Greg to do any projects needed in and outside of my house. He is very precise in all of his work performed. Greg is very professional and pleasant to have him do any of my projects and would highly recommend him for any issues a person would have. In a heartbeat I will have Greg repair any problems I have in the future. Greg was a gem I found who does pretty much everything. Today you have to hire big companies who do one project and then you have to find another big company to fix the other things and so it goes. Greg can do anything and does it in a timely manner. You just don't find an individual who does superb work in all areas of issues a person may need help with. He does an excellent job."

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.
Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could build a floating deck in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.
You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.
When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.
