Since 1990 Deck Bright has stained over 10,000 decks. We have taken that experience and developed a restoration process that leads the industry. Many companies have copied some of our steps but no one matches our combination of thoroughness and professional product lines.
"Things went from bad to worse. I replaced a few boards before the sanding and staining was to be done. The carpenter told me "a few of the boards are thicker than the existing". I told the carpenter "don't worry about that. The deck guys are going to sand it all down". This was my understanding from the start. I have evidence I communicated with DeckMedic my understanding that the deck would be sanded to get rid of the rough surface. Their ad calls it "sanding to remove the raised grain". I even mentioned he will most definitely need to hammer all nails before sanding. Otherwise he will tear up his sander. He agreed. The sanding was never done and many of the nails were never hammered down. I brought a third party service company in for their opinion. Their professional opinion "the deck was never sanded as the raised grain on the wood stands out and is very rough" Second issue: my deck stairs needed rebuilt then would need stained. Ryan and I came to an agreement. He would give me a $400 discount due to my dissatisfaction. He would send me a discounted invoice marked paid and would include a contractual promise to come back in the spring to stain new stairs. After I paid him, he said the invoice is in the mail. It never showed up. Now he still won't give me the invoice."

"I am happy to report that after my less than stellar review of Rush Construction, Chad made good on a promise to fix our deck. We are completely satisfied with the results. He came back and fixed the separation that had occurred on the deck boards himself. He also replaced the entire railing surface. We appreciate that he reached out to us and made good on work that needed to be done."

"I would not recommend this company. I had them refinish my two level deck and fence. $1100. And the work was so sloppy. The fence and floor of the top level deck looks ok but the back edges of the deck were basically left unfinished, some spots not even touched with stain! I had to go out and touch up the entire edge of the deck myself. The first level of the deck and the steps were left with flakes from them taking off the old color and they just tried to stain over these flakes - this has caused chipping and peeling of the new color, exposing either the deck or the old color which they very poorly removed in the first place. I was told before I hired them that there was a two year warranty that would cover chipping and peeling as long as it wasn’t from animal scratches. I have contacted them several times with pictures of what I believe they should fix and requested they come fix the first level of the deck and steps. They are now ignoring me and will not respond. They will take your money and disappear. Incredibly disappointing and a waste of money. Spent $1100 and now I have to go out and sand down flakes and touch up the spots because they won’t stand behind their work. Find someone else for your projects."

"How often can you write a review and say you are 100% happy and would not change a single thing? This is that review for Nate Hudon and Deck Company. Pictures are attached of our new Trex Spiced Rum deck with composite posts, signature railings, wedge and riser LED lighting. Nate impressed us from our first meeting. He is honest, knowledgeable and experienced. His communication was excellent. He listened to us and designed the deck we envisioned, down to the details of lighting placement and support post locations. Shawn and his construction crew were hard-working, talented, courteous, and friendly. Despite adverse weather conditions, they arrived everyday at 7am, worked all day and completed the project on time. The first day, alone, they completed the demo of the old deck, dug holes for the new support posts, had the village out to inspect, and poured concrete for the new supports! Amazing work ethic. We showed Shawn a picture of a support post design we liked and he made it happen! They repaired our brick patios around the new support posts and relocated a huge limestone stepping stone. The crew put down plywood to protect our lawn and boards to protect the driveway from the dumpster. The dumpster arrived the day they started and was removed the day they finished! The clean-up left our property spotless. They even power-washed the driveway. The village inspector had nothing but praise for Nate, Shawn, and Deck Company. Nate promised we would be happy and he was true to his word. Great people! Great company!"

Composite decking offers exceptional value compared to traditional wood because it delivers lasting durability and minimal maintenance. Composite decking outperforms lower-quality wood by retaining its appearance and structural integrity without extensive upkeep. Its extended lifespan and resistance to weathering present homeowners with a robust, long‐term investment for their outdoor living spaces.
Composite decking can be installed on a roof deck when the structure is engineered to support the additional load. A precise evaluation of the slope and material characteristics is essential. Professionals secure the decking systematically with proper fasteners and techniques, ensuring safety and longevity for the installation.
Building a composite deck involves a clearly defined process that starts by ensuring you have the proper permits and a secure foundation. The process continues with the careful installation of decking boards, beams, joists, and railings using modern construction techniques. Every component is assembled meticulously to construct a durable, attractive outdoor living space.
A professional crew works through each stage in carefully coordinated phases—from material preparation to secure fastening of every board. This methodical approach guarantees a finished deck that meets rigorous quality standards and endures for many years.
