"I hired the Paint Doctor to paint the exterior of our house as well as to stain our redwood deck. Chris Dorry was the estimator and primary contact. He was very knowledgeable and professional. They also provided some exterior wood replacement in weathered areas. The painters were always very punctual and worked everyday until the job was completed. Chris also set me up with a Sherwin Williams color consultant who provided valuable advice and help in finalizing our colors. Would definitely hire them again!"

"

It was difficult to have him do the work in a timely way as he was busy with another big job and with the weather being unseasonably wet this summer it was difficult to get the work done.

He and his wife worked hard to accomplish all the handyman jobs I've been wanting to get done and I appreciated their work.

"Paul and his crew were very professional. They were early for the project start time, finished in a timely manner, and cleaned up after themselves. We have also requested for two more projects, replacing windows and back door flashing. Paul and his company treated us respectfully and we would refer him to other people."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.

The problems with composite decking include a high rate of expansion and contraction from temperature swings. This characteristic can cause boards to split, delaminate, or peel. In addition, significant movement can cause shrinking, warping, twisting, and bending. For this reason, you should minimize moisture and ensure proper airflow below your deck.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

The overhang, or nosing, of deck steps is another area that will be covered in building code requirements. The noses on your deck steps should have a minimum overhang of ¾ inch. For safety, usability, and code compliance, the nosing of deck steps should not extend past 1¼ inches.

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.
