"If you need help with renewing your deck to its former glory, Try Deck Salvage. Carlos from Deck Salvage did a tremendous job with our deck and has done so for many years. We have different decks that vary in age from 45 years to 15 years. He power washes and then restains them for us, keeping them in excellent shape. Carlos charges a fair price, and he is professional and always on time for all the work he has done for us. I would highly recommend Carlos and Deck Salvage for your deck maintenance needs. Dan"

"From the first phone call things went great and were never anything but great. I don't think we've ever called an experience with a contractor pleasant from start to finish before. Len always returned our calls promptly, gave us estimates that were accurate and timely, and was willing to work with our hectic schedule as well as those of the cabinetmaker, electrician and deck contractor. He and his crew always showed up at exactly the time they said they would and left the condo exactly as they found it. In fact, during the second visit, they finished sooner than expected and reduced the bill by $200! We are customers for life, basically. Our only regret? We have nothing else for Len and his crew to paint. His was not the least expensive estimate, but the quality of workmanship, level of professionalism and ALWAYS BEING ON TIME made it by far the best value."

"When I bought my place, I took one look at the mold-covered deck and assumed I needed to tear it out.  Dave Watry from Watry Homes came out to give me a price.  To my surprise, he told me I didn't need to replace it - the wood was still good.  I needed to get it cleaned, kill the mold and stain it.  He was right!  I have a beautiful deck for a fraction of what it would have cost to replace it.  I appreciate the honesty and integrity of Watry Homes."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

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. 

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.

Yes, you can build a deck around a fire pit, as long as it is safely enclosed, meets code requirements, and is at least 15 feet away from your home. You’ll want to ensure you have a heat-resistant barrier between the fire pit and your deck to prevent any structural damage and fires. A galvanized ring surrounded by pavers, brick, or stone makes for a beautiful, safe, and sturdy design.

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.
