"Keith came and looked at what work I needed done. He came back within a couple of days or it might have been the next day. He came early and did the job. He prune and trimmed my hedges and flower bushes; he pulled weeds growing up the side of the house; he did cut back several small trees; and moved bushes and cut down weeds and hauled away. He was excellent and had good attitude in doing his job. I really appreciate that."

"The crew built a deck and roof. They were always on time as promised, built an extremely sturdy structure and got the job done quickly. Followed what I wanted and charged what I found to be a fair price. They could improve on their finish carpentry, but I would hire them again."

"If you’re looking for someone who truly stands behind their work, I highly recommend B&B Roofing. Brandon did an outstanding job rebuilding my deck, and the transformation speaks for itself. What used to be worn out and weathered now looks absolutely beautiful and solid. From the very beginning, Brandon was courteous, professional, and honest. He communicated clearly, showed up when he said he would, and most importantly—he kept his word. That kind of reliability is rare these days, and it meant a lot to me as a homeowner. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were top-notch. You can tell Brandon takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about doing the job right, not just getting it done. If you want quality work from someone you can trust, B&B Roofing is the company to call. Brandon exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs roofing or deck work done. Absolutely fantastic job."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

Yes. Freestanding or floating decks are exactly what the name implies—structures with their own support beams. You can build a deck yourself and place it next to a house for the illusion of a connected deck without the hassle. Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don’t have to cut the deck away from the home.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
