"I commissioned a custom cutting board through Josh took the time to reach out to me to ensure I got the cutting board I wanted. He was upfront with the build time and cost. It arrived earlier than expected. When I opened the package I could tell that this wasn't your average cutting board. This is an heirloom quality piece that will last longer than me. My kids will have to fight over who gets this incredible piece of art. If you are a foodie or like to cook, his cutting boards will serve you well. I can't thank Josh enough for tha attention to detail in his work and the amazing communication. Thank you Josh, looking forward to working with you again!!!"

"David came to reinstall my shower doors for me. He and his wife did an amazing job! They make a great team! I also asked I'm if he could put some new door knobs in for me and he did. He has a great work ethic and I would trust him to do any repairs I need. He is also a great fence installer. He put my fence up or my dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again!"

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could build a floating deck in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

Both aluminum and composite decking materials are environmentally friendly, with aluminum decking coming in as the most eco-friendly option. 

Though composite decking helps remove plastics from landfills, recycles wood, and lasts longer than traditional wood decks, it’s not recyclable and only lasts for 25 to 30 years on average. Aluminum can last well over 30 years and is almost always recyclable.
