"Jacob shows up. He returns text messages and phone calls. As a contract engineer, Iâ ve worked with a variety of contractorsâ ¦.and Timber and Nail is a unicorn in this business. It explains why theyâ re so busy, and why you may have to wait your turn in line to get your project completed. But youâ ll be glad that you did. The work is to code, and they take pride in their workmanship. Communication is open and honest. I had no surprises nor change orders. This form did not allow me to include all of the types of work that they completed for meâ ¦.but it included removing an old, unstable deck and building a new one to code.; removing ceiling tiles and replacing them with drywall, fixing a hole in the soffit, fixing downspouts, and replacing an exterior door. After all of that, I still need to hire them for more projects in my older house. When I need work done, theyâ re the first ones that I call."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

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.

The most likely causes of a deck leaning to one side are damaged deck posts, soil erosion, and inadequate deck footings. If you’re not sure about the exact cause, the best option is to call a contractor who can build a deck to inspect the damage and recommend the best way forward.

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.
