Deck Builders FAQ
Do I need a permit for a new or replacement deck?
Often, yes—especially if the deck is over 30″ above grade, attached to the house, or >200 sq ft. Local rules vary: King County exempts uncovered decks ≤30″; Pierce County says 30″ needs a permit; Seattle requires permits over 18″ high. Always check your city/county before work begins.
How tall does the railing have to be (and how tight the pickets)?
For decks that need guards, the IRC minimum is typically a 36″ guard height with openings under 4″ (local amendments may vary).
Can I put composite decking over my existing wood deck boards?
Best practice is to remove old boards, inspect/repair the frame, then install composite on the joists. Manufacturers show resurfacing on a sound substructure—not laying new composite over old deck boards.
What joist spacing do composite boards need?
Most brands call for 16″ on center when boards run perpendicular to joists and 12″ OC when installed diagonally (heavier loads/patterns may also require 12″). Always follow the specific product’s manual.
What fasteners/connectors should I use with pressure-treated framing?
Use hot-dip galvanized (ASTM A153/G185) or 304/316 stainless fasteners and compatible connectors; avoid plain steel/aluminum in treated wood due to corrosion risk. Follow the fastener/connecter manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you flash the ledger where the deck meets the house?
Code requires corrosion-resistant flashing at the ledger, integrated “shingle-fashion” with the wall’s WRB to keep water off the band joist; siding is removed in the ledger zone and continuous flashing with drip edge is typical.
What’s the simplest way to keep a composite deck clean?
Regularly sweep/blow debris, then wash with warm, soapy water and a soft-bristle brush; this removes the biofilm that feeds mold on the surface. Rinse well and avoid harsh cleaners unless the brand allows it.
