Frequently asked questions
Composite or wood decking?
Composite costs more upfront but needs less maintenance. Wood costs less initially but requires staining, sealing, and more frequent repairs.
Why is my deck pulling away from the house?
A failed ledger connection, loose lag screws, or water damage can cause separation. It is a safety issue and should be inspected promptly.
How often should a wood deck be sealed?
Most wood decks benefit from sealing every one to three years, depending on the wood, stain, weather, and traffic.
Do I need a permit for a deck?
Most decks require a building permit and inspection. The contractor should confirm local requirements before construction.
