"We are very happy with our deck results and would highly recommend C Maurer! They took on a refinishing job, requiring the team to strip, sand, replace a few boards, and hand paint our stubborn deck, which was not an easy task due to the solid stain that was previously on there. Sofina and team were persistent, professional, and she did a fantastic job! Thank you!!"

Fence and Deck Depot is a locally-owned and operated company specializing in all your fence and deck needs. Since our founding nearly 20 years ago, we have exceeded expectations of thousands of customers. Our service area includes the entire St. Louis Metropolitan area in both Missouri and Illinois. On the fence side of our business, we offer a wide variety of choices including ornamental aluminum/steel, vinyl, multiple wood options including cedar, various chain link styles and other fence-related items. For decking, we sell and install composite, vinyl, and wood decking and handrail-systems plus aluminum deck and porch rail products. Lastly, we not only provide complete installation but also offer materials-only for the do-it-yourselfer.
"Fence was installed incorrectly - took them three separate visits to get it done properly. They put the stakes in the wrong spot when measuring, then had the audacity to say it was our fault because we weren't present during the time of the installation to tell them they were putting it in the wrong spot. First off, it's not our job to babysit a team of "professional" fence contractors to be sure they do their job right. Second, we would have loved to have been there during the fence install, but they came out with no warning while we were out of town, so we had the joy of returning home to a fence installed in the wrong spot. A bunch of debris (concrete chunks) were left in our yard after they had to remove the first fence attempt because it was put in the wrong location. I assumed they would clear out the mess they made, I guess not. They also left the holes from their first attempt filled with concrete. Since they made the mistake of installing the fence in the wrong spot, I assumed they would clear the mess they made, but instead left several giant holes in my yard filled with concrete. They refuse to remove these or compensate us for the trouble because apparently this is standard fence installation procedure, leaving giant holes filled with concrete in the middle of customer's yards. Contractors damaged our sump pump discharge pipe ($800+ repair cost and horrible damage to our yard). The owner of the company's response was basically "not our problem." They weren't open to discounting our final cost based on the repair costs Supposedly, the company's core values are (taken from their website): "Treat others how you want to be treated. From our employees to our customers and everyone in-between, we treat others with respect." I guess the owner here wishes to be treated with disrespect and wants people to destroy his property and then refuse to do anything about it. "Do it right the first time. Our team takes pride in completing a project thoroughly and professionally as if we were building in our own backyard." It's almost comical - it took them THREE attempt to get our fence installed in the proper location and without any issues like it was drawn up in the contract. "Do the Right thing. Sometimes the right thing is hard to do, other times it’s easy. Either way, we always do what is right for our customers and our company – even when no one is looking." Apparently the right thing to do in this situation is cause hundreds of dollars of damage to someones home and then avoid taking any responsibility for it. Sounds like the right thing to do, nice work, guys. "Our crews will exceed your expectations with a drama-free installation of your new fence or deck." Can't help but laugh. I cannot emphasize how much I DO NOT RECOMMEND this company to anyone. AVOID AT ALL COSTS"

You should clean your deck before sealing it. Cleaning before refinishing is critical. If you don’t remove dirt and debris, you'll trap moisture in the wood, which prevents the new sealer from working correctly and can lead to costly repairs. Whether you need to sand, power wash, or sandblast depends on your deck's condition.
Sealing and staining your deck are essential maintenance methods that protect and beautify your outdoor space. Stain adds rich color and guards against fading, while sealant fortifies the wood against moisture and weather damage. Wood type, climate, deck age, and the degree of existing damage determine whether your deck benefits from one or both treatments. Using both options extends your deck’s durability and enhances its overall appearance.
Power washing and sealing your deck costs $500 to $1,700. This process combines the removal of stubborn dirt and debris with a protective seal that preserves the wood’s integrity. Effective cleaning eliminates harmful buildup, and a proper seal prevents moisture damage and wood decay, ensuring long-term durability and reducing future repair expenses.
Your deck must be sealed every one to three years to maintain its strength and appearance. Regular sealing is essential to protect the wood against moisture, mold, and harmful UV rays. A consistent sealing schedule prevents rapid deterioration and costly repairs. Inspections should be performed annually to determine if the protective layer remains intact, extending the life of your deck.
Leaving your deck untreated compromises its structural integrity and safety. An unprotected deck rots quickly due to moisture and environmental exposure, which means that neglecting sealing results in rapid decay and expensive replacement costs of $4,125 to $11,650. Sealing your deck is essential for maintaining its durability and protecting your home.
The sealant on your deck dries within a few hours and reaches full cure within 72 hours before regular use. It is essential to wait until the complete curing period to ensure the protective layer fully sets and resists weather and foot traffic. Proper drying guarantees that your deck is fully protected against moisture and environmental damage, ensuring lasting quality.
