"Dave installed kitchen faucet, and is repairing my Island drawers. He will also be giving me a price to build an outdoor deck, fix some doors in the house and some other projects that I have not even thought of yet. He cleans everything up when finished, and my dog even liked him. Good Guy."

"Nelson, came to my home last night to power wash my back porch, which has composite decking on it. Nelson went above and beyond, very personable, very thorough, the cost was good and I am so pleased. I would recommend this man in a heartbeat. Nelson was his first name and he is a beacon Falls resident and I know who will be power washing from now on at my house. Thank you so so much."

Customers say: Quick response

"John and his crew did an excellent job prepping and painting the exterior of our house and garage -- both 2-story buildings. They came one day and power washed everything. Very thorough job! Then they came back a few days later and sanded and sanded -- much more than we thought they would. They pointed out anything that needed to be replaced and offered to replace them if we wanted. They primed a whole lot more than we thought they would which was great. Then the paint and the trim paint. Great job!! Thanks John, Kelly, and Brian!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

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.

Deck repairs cost around $800 to $3,500 . However, your cost depends on the type and severity of the repair, as well as the type of decking material you have. Other factors, like location and labor costs, impact the price, too. Boards and railings are the priciest parts of a deck to repair, while loose stairs are less expensive to fix.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.
