"Remodeled kitchen. The work he did was OK. I wanted a contract. Kept asking for one. He showed up with the contract the day I paid him. Kept having to call to see when he would show up to work again. He would tell me and sometimes he would not show up or call. Took them 2 1/2 months to finish. The appliances were on backorder. They were not in by the time he finished, except for a few things like cleaning paint splatter, and caulking. He said he would come back and install appliances and finish up. Appliances were delivered and two weeks later I was still calling to see when he would come back. He would not say. I was telling him on the phone that I would hire someone else and he hung up on me. I called and left a message telling him that this is business and if he has the courage to call back in the next two or so days, it is fine. Otherwise, I am hiring someone else. He never called me."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen. 

Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.

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.

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.
