"I am so very pleased with the work that Thomas Parks and his crew accomplished on my home/decks/roofs and gazebo. It took three weeks but he was very thorough. The first day was powerwashing the house. One day to dry and then each day thereafter there was a crew of five. The preparation work was extremely tedious. They used hand powersanders to cover almost every inch to even out cracks and layers of old paint. It was no easy job. In some spots it is three levels.....up and down ladders; and it just happened to be very hot weather. After completing Thomas asked me to write a list of things that might need touch up. Again, I was impressed. As we walked around the house/decks/gazebo together he spotted some small things that I did not see. That is to say, he is very honest and trustworthy. I highly recommend Thomas Parks Contracting. Thomas Parks and company is a company of high work ethics, trustworthy and honest. I will certainly call him for any other work that I might need."

"Gary Iselt is a great find. Our backyard pergola had begun to collapse with large beams rotted away. I feared a complete replacement. Gary admitted he found it challenging, since the overgrown wisteria was pulling apart the wood. He cut back the wisteria, purchased new wood, replaced and painted beams and slats. It looks great. Once we knew he was so accomplished, we pointed out lots of our "deferred maintenance" - stuck front door, broken ceramic tiles on front walkway, swinging garden gate, hanging and clogged gutters. Gary purhased what was necessary and did all the work at his fee of $45 per hour. He arrived every day on time and did splendid work. My son, on a recent visit, was astonished and asked why (after all these years) we got the front door unstuck. We could only said that we (finally) have the handyman of our dreams. We will certainly use him again."

"Jean is such a sweet and hard worker. You can tell he really cares about his job and property. I hired him to power wash our tile deck and put sealant on it. He did an amazing job! Even some of the chairs legs outside were loose and he fixed them for me at no cost. He cares about a his customers! I have so many projects around the house I am going to use him for. He’s a jack of all trades and I’m very happy I found such a great carpenter!"

"Requested and got estimate for rebuilding 16' square wood deck. Agreed on price and advanced funds for materials, only to receive phone call regarding additional charge for material delivery. Im agreed, and paid. Les came with helper, and removed old deck, piling rotten wood and other waste at corner of yard. When I asked how waste was to be disposed of, he said, "I don't know, that's your responsibility". I had to arrange and pay for delivery of dumpster - Les and his helper did grudgingly agree to help fill the dumpster. While he said the job would take 2 days, and started on Thursday, by the end of the day Friday, when job wasn't finished, he said he couldn't return on Saturday, but would on Sunday. His helper actually seemed more knowledgeable about deck construction. Despite my repeated comments regarding spacing of deck boards, he refused to leave any space between boards, and only said that as boards "dried out", there would be space for drainage. He did return on Sunday, and did finish the deck, and left late Sunday afternoon, without cleaning up any of the surrounding debris. I then spent 2 days picking up debris, deck screws and construction waste from our lawn. Furthermore, in screwing down decking, Les drilled through an electrical cord linking the sprinkler timer to a number of valves. When told about this, he first refused responsibility, the reluctantly returned to replace the damaged wire. After doing so, and even though the sprinkler system still would not work as before, he refused to do any other work to remedy what several knowledgable parties say was clearly his responsibility, including replacing the board that was removed by another handyman to access the wire. After three people who know about these things tried to reset/reprogram timer, it was determined that the puncture of the wire, and the splicing of a new wire improperly by Les has caused the timer's brain to be damaged. Les refused to reimburse us for even part of the cost of new sprinkler timer and installer cost. When confronted by phone, he made a number of accusations regarding other's people being responsible, including our gardner, who has installed many timers without a problem."

"Goodfellas Construction has been spectacular on my bathroom renovation. Built in 1940, the two bedroom one bath house had never had a major renovation. Usually just maintenance to solve what was required to fix an immediate problem. The bathroom was the obvious choice for a renovation starting point - the small shower stall (like a closet with water), cast iron tub, linoleum floor, old pipes and inadequate lighting were really depressing. After asking friends and neighbors and driving by construction sites, I found GOODFELLAS and called to set up a meeting. Danny Gold came to the house, and we talked about what I wanted in the renovation. Based on our discussion, he wrote up a fair estimate and specified the things I would be responsible for providing and the things that Goodfellas would provide. This approach allows the homeowner to personalize the project - you get to select the materials for flooring, vanity, plumbing fixtures, etc. so you have control of what the finshed project will look like. Danny Gold remained the focal point of the construction management effort. He was always available for questions or guidance throughout the project. He is personable and knowledgeable and is always aware of how his subcontractors are progressing. Goodfellas started in the bathroom, but as I could see the resullts of their work, the scope of the project enlarged - Re-pipe, Drain line upgrade, Electrical upgrade, Forced Air furnace replacement and painting. Goodfellas brought in their specialty subcontractors and never failed to please. The subcontractors were always on time, and ready to work for as long as it took to finish. Considering the extent of the work being done, the level of inconvenience for me was always a priority. Contractors left the job as clean as possible, and kept me in the loop as to what was going to happen next and when they would be finished with each subsequent phase. Goodfellas worked well with the City of Glendale permitting department, Department of Water and Power and the individual inspectors that certified the work. At each inspection, a Goodfellas representative and the subcontractor were available to answer any question or concern that arose. I like Goodfellas so much I’m going for the kitchen remodel next week."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

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.

Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you’d like to remove it more quickly.

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.

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.
