Pressure treated pine and cedar decks require annual staining or sealing to maintain the deck’s longevity in our climate. Composite decking offers superior durability and performance by being resistant to termites, rotting, warping and splintering. It also never needs staining or painting. It only requires an annual cleaning like any exterior building product.
Composite decking requires far lower maintenance than wood decking with only a simple soap and water cleaning annually to maintain the beauty of the products. Most composite decking lines can be cleaned with a power washer with low PSI. Before cleaning your composite deck, please visit www.trex.com or www.timbertech.com for more details on maintaining your specific line of composite decking.

Yes, RSB has been a member of the BBB for almost our entire 16 years in business!
We are proud to have all of our own W-2 full-time employees on staff building our projects which makes us different than the majority of deck builders who sub-contract out their carpentry to 1099 individuals who aren’t actual employees of the builder. The use of employees over sub-contractors ensures consistent quality construction and attracts talented carpenters who are wanting a long-term employer. We also are proud to offer our employees health insurance, dental insurance and a retirement plan with matching contributions. Most of our lead carpenters have been employed with Rock Solid for over 8 years which ensures our customers receive high quality carpentry.
Having employees over sub-contractors also protects our customers because when builders use 1099 sub-contractors instead of their own W-2 employees, that puts the homeowner’s at risk if one of the sub-contractors gets hurt at their home since sub-contractors aren’t fully covered under the builder’s own worker’s compensation policy. That means that a sub-contractor can sue a homeowner for damages if the sub-contractor gets hurt on the job. If one of our RSB employees gets hurt on a job, our workers compensation policy would compensate the employee since they are actual employees of Rock Solid Builders and not a sub-contractor. The only sub-contractors we use are licensed roofers, electricians and plumbers who carry their own insurance policies for their specific line of work. Rock Solid Builders encourages you to speak with an attorney or your homeowner’s insurance policy agent about the liability risks you would experience if you hire a deck builder that uses 1099 sub-contractors to construct their projects instead of actual W-2 employees.
Yes, Rock Solid Builders carries $2 million dollars in a commercial liability policy, an additional umbrella policy, auto insurance on our fleet of vehicles and full worker’s compensation since Rock Solid Builders uses only our own employees. This protects the homeowner over a company that only uses sub-contractors who aren’t fully insured. If you would like a Certificate of Insurance showing our insurance policies, please contact our office at (815)363-7133 and we would be happy to provide one to you.
