"I have had the pleasure of working with Fausto Construction Company on several projects now. One of them being staining the deck in our patio making it look brand new. The most recent service Mr. Fausto provided was fixing the garage. I accidentally hit the wall with the tire and damaged the wall by making a big hole in the drywall. That week HOA was doing the yearly inspection and needed it fix ASAP. I was able to count on Fausto Construction to repair it. We are very pleased with the service's Mr. Fausto provided, All the work was professionally done in a timely manner. Mr. Fausto worked with me to meet all my expectations. I highly recommend Fausto Construction Company!"

"We recently had our deck enclosed to create some additional living space and we’re really happy with how everything turned out. The work came out great and the addition blends in really well with the existing house. The team was easy to work with, responsive, and made the whole process pretty smooth. We’re very happy with the final result and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to do a remodel or home addition."

"I liked Sergio because he was one stop to do both dry wall repair and painting, and he did the job the day after we spoke on the phone. And I'm always amazed when you just can't detect that there was once a hole in the wall where now it looks perfect."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

If you want to make a deck cleaner from products already in your home, there are various options. The most common is to use a gentle blend of 1 gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia-free dish soap. You can also mix water with distilled vinegar. Sprinkling on some baking soda can help to remove mold and mildew. You can add oxygen bleach (but never damaging chlorine bleach) to the water and ammonia-free dish soap solution for something a bit stronger. 

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

The time to build a vinyl deck varies based on factors like size, the complexity of the design, and weather conditions. Generally, a straightforward project might take a few days to a couple of weeks for preparation, installation, and any necessary inspections. However, larger or more intricate designs may extend the timeline. Timely acquisition of permits, efficient planning, and coordination with contractors will all help to make the construction process as smooth and quick as possible.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

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.
