"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."

"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."
You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.
The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.
Both composite and PVC decking are excellent alternatives to wood. However, while composite is moderately priced and lasts around 30 years, PVC costs more and lasts longer. PVC is also more durable, though both materials are more durable than wood decking. Ultimately, the choice between composite and PVC decking will come down to your budget and preferences.
The best paver for your pool deck depends on your budget, style, and how much maintenance you’re willing to invest. Granite is one of the best low-cost pavers for pool decks. It’s very slip-resistant and durable, too, making it a top pick. Travertine is a high-quality material that resists freeze-thaw cycles, looks stunning, and won’t get hot in the summer. The only downside to travertine is that it costs more than granite.
