"Iâ ve got a rental unit, one of the windows got broken so I gave Lucas a call. He was able to come out in a timely manner, assess the situation and provided me with his solution. He was able to seal up the window so the tenants retained heat while he took steps to get a replacement. Iâ m very pleased with his work and communication. I also had asked him about if he does flooring(he does flooring) Iâ ve got a quote from him and will be moving forward with Lucas on the floor."

"I'm writing a glowing review for Alaska Restoration, Remodel, and Roofing before they even begin the work on my cabin project! That's how impressed I am by the pre-planning and detailed evaluation they've put into the project, and I really appreciate their responsiveness to my many questions. They came highly recommended and I can see why. My project is relatively small for them, but not once have they treated it that way; they've treated it with the same professionalism and importance that they would treat a job triple the size of mine. Can't wait to see what the finished room looks like when they are done!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
