"I had the pleasure of hiring Christopher for a couple of small projects around my house and he went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied! He kept me informed of every step in the process with excellent customer service. I would highly recommend him not only for small handyman projects but as well as building decks! We are in talks of having a back porch built by him and I canâ t wait for another great experience using him!"

"Mark does great work. I had him refinish my front entry doors, installed light fixture and repaired some settling cracks in the wall. In the past he also did some fence repair. He shows up on time and is very professional and is willing to do any type of work. I highly recommend him."

"Awesome. Everything done in a very professional manner on time. Great suggestions on saving money and making things better. Bath was upgraded and looks much better after repair. Deck is in best shape since it was built. Super qualified and professional workers making sure they were always letting us know what they were doing and making great suggestions. Very happy with everything. All work was inspected by Mr Greenwalt making sure the work quality met his and our expectations.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can build a pool deck yourself, but it takes precision, a lot of time, and many specific tools. You’ll need to create a deck plan, be careful with measurements, cut each piece of wood, secure the pieces properly, and ensure the deck meets building codes. Building a deck around a pool is a rewarding DIY, but it’s time- and labor-intensive, so thoughtfully consider your abilities and the time you have before embarking on this DIY.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

Cold temperatures can make your deck boards contract. If they don’t contract evenly, they can put pressure on the deck screws and cause them to pop out, making a noticeable sound. Winterizing your deck can help prevent this from happening.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.
