"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."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Many composite decking manufacturers, including the popular Trex brand, offer warranties that protect against warping under specific conditions. These warranties typically last between 20 and 50 years, but they usually exclude claims related to improper installation of the product. Some manufacturer warranties only cover decks built by certified professionals.

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.

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.
