"Luisa was dependable, prompt, extremely skilled, and very knowledgeable. During this deck repair we floated a footer, replaced boards, reinstalled steps and railings. All excellent work! Additionally she installed an outside hose bib that for some reason the previous homeowner had not replaced in this 1938 home. She had the knowledge and skill set to complete both jobs efficiently. We had several estimates for the deck job and by far she was the most reasonable and dependable!!! I would highly recommended her for your home repairs!!!"

"The quality of their services exceeded our expectations! They cleaned, sanded, repaired and then stained our three wood decks and railings. Our decks have not looked this good in years. They were prompt, courteous, and cleaned up after themselves. They took the time to do the job right. Fo example, they would not stain when rain was forecasted. They used painters tape to keep the deck stain away from the house siding. They nailed loose boards. They have my highest recommendation."

"Paintworkz staff painted the interior of my home. Mark and Calvin worked diligently to ensure that living area was clean and safe for children to play every evening. (This was very important to us since we have a 2 year old and 7 month old in the home) The paint turned out beautifully and we couldn't be happier. John and William worked quickly to get us a quote and put us on the schedule. We had a great experience and recommend them to anyone looking for professionals in this area."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to build a small, basic deck for $5,000, particularly if you use less expensive materials and a simple design. To stay within this budget, consider a size under 10x12 feet and use affordable materials like pressure-treated wood or cedar. While the general cost for deck building ranges from $4,350 to $12,560, with an average around $8,200, some projects can be completed for as little as $4,350. You can also save on labor costs by doing the work yourself, but be aware that mistakes could end up costing more than hiring a professional. A contractor may have a higher upfront cost, but they can ensure a safe, stable deck that will last.

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.

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.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface 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 essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.
