FAQs

How do I know if I need a deck versus a patio?

A deck is typically a good option when the entrance from your home is elevated above ground level, often around 12 inches or more. Decks can create a level transition from your home to your outdoor living space while allowing for proper ventilation underneath. A patio is typically built at ground level using materials such as pavers or concrete.

How do I maintain my deck?

Maintenance will depend on the material your deck is made from. Pressure-treated wood decks typically require more ongoing maintenance, including sanding, staining or painting, and sealing to help protect the wood from weather, moisture, and everyday wear. Composite decks generally require much less maintenance over time.

What kind of material should your deck be made of?

The two most common types of decks that are built are pressure treated wood or some type of composite materials. There are cost variations, as well as differences in maintenance, which a homeowner may consider prior to making this decision. Express Sunrooms is a TrexPro® contractor and offers Trex composite decking in a variety of colors and styles. Our team can help you compare your options and choose the decking material that best fits your home, budget, and lifestyle.

If I build a composite deck, are the deck boards hot to walk on during certain seasons?

Typically composite deck boards, warm-up with direct sunlight. You can help by picking a lighter color, watering down the deck prior to utilizing it. There is also a (composite) technology, as of late that has heat mitigating technology to help.

How do I know if my deck is unsafe or needs maintenance attention?

There are several signs that an existing deck may need maintenance, repairs, or further evaluation. These can include the deck pulling away from the home or connecting structure, loose or unstable areas, rusted, oxidized, loose, or missing metal connectors, signs of wood rot, and deteriorating deck boards or structural components. If you’re unsure about the condition of your deck, having it professionally evaluated can help identify potential concerns.

Can I build a structure on top of my existing deck?

In many cases, a structure can be added to an existing deck, but the deck must be evaluated first to determine whether it can safely support the additional load. Its current condition, local building codes, engineering requirements, foundation, and overall structure will all play a role in determining what can be added.
