"Brandon and his team were very communicative with us during the entire build. They were able to give us the rustic barn rebuild we wanted, while making it structurally sound. We are more than pleased with their results. We also felt that they are extremely competitive in price and very fair. Moreover, they completed the project quickly and efficiently. There was never a doubt that they would not show to the site. We will be looking to use Knight and Sons Remodeling with our future projects. 10/10 would use again!!!"

"First, let me say that the deck is beautiful. The man who built it was knowledgeable and hard working. The women who came to apply the sealer were great. We were given nice discounts for being a teacher. All of those are the pluses to our experience and pushed our rating to C. Our problem with the experience was the length of time it took, poor communication from the company about deliveries, work schedules and the fact that only ONE man worked on our deck the entire time (which affected the length of time to build). Timeline and completion plan were big concerns of ours from the estimation process. We told each company we got estimates from that we wanted the time between taking the deck off of our house to completion to be tight and minimal. We were told that this was possible. On our estimate from Timeless Sunsets, we were told 7 days. It took 3 weeks! If the company had been transparent (tell us lumber was hard to get, tell us you are having ONE man do this entire job, etc.), we could have either prepared or chosen someone else. I have texts from the owner telling us when lumber would arrive on a Monday (we thought he had an ETA from the lumber company). The installer took the deck off of the house on that Monday, so we could no longer exit the back door to the yard (it’s 4 feet off of the ground). The lumber did not arrive until Thursday afternoon and then the company told us they would begin the rebuild after the weekend. That’s one full week with no back door. Again, we said from the beginning that timing was important to us."

Pressure-treated wood decks typically last between 15 and 25 years with proper maintenance. Factors influencing longevity include local weather conditions, maintenance frequency, wood quality, and usage patterns. Regular sealing provides critical moisture protection, while prompt repairs prevent small issues from causing structural problems. Without proper care, even quality pressure-treated lumber may deteriorate significantly faster.
Most localities require building permits for deck construction, particularly for structures attached to your home or elevated above a certain height. Permit requirements vary significantly between jurisdictions, with costs typically ranging from $50 to $250. Skipping required permits may result in fines, forced removal, or complications when selling your property. Always check with your local building department before beginning construction.
While deck construction occurs year-round in many regions, late spring through early fall typically offers optimal building conditions. However, scheduling during off-peak seasons (late fall or winter) often secures better contractor availability and potentially lower rates. Weather considerations include avoiding periods of excessive rain or freezing temperatures that could complicate concrete work or wood installation.
Newly installed pressure-treated lumber requires a drying period before accepting stain or sealer properly. This waiting period typically ranges from four weeks to three months depending on your climate and the wood's initial moisture content. Testing readiness by sprinkling water on the surface helps determine when the wood will accept treatment—if water beads up, continue waiting; if it absorbs quickly, the deck is ready for staining.
