"Larry's Handyman Maintenance Service did an efficient, highly competent, and cost-effective job of replacing a broken pocket door with a new folding door in a closet. I was impressed with the firm's integrity, customer service, and positive attitude. I would hire the firm again for repair or maintenance work at our condo."

"Excellent!!!! We initially contracted with Sal, the owner, to pressure wash our lanai. We pressure washed it ourselves only two months before but the stains remained. When Sal pressure washed the surface, it looked new again. He recommended painting the surface to ensure our satisfaction for years and years to come. He just put the final coat on the pool deck and it looks brand new, moreover we can expect to enjoy this look for years and years to come. Sal delivers! He shows up when he says he's going to. He does fantastic work. He's thorough, clean, and works quickly. We've already scheduled him to come back to do two more projects."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

Pressure-treated lumber is one of the most affordable types of decking upfront. This material is widely available, so you can usually find pressure-treated lumber at almost any local home improvement store you visit. Keep in mind that wood requires a lot of upkeep with repainting and restaining, so any kind of wood may be more expensive in the long run than something like PVC decking.

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

Yes. Freestanding or floating decks are exactly what the name implies—structures with their own support beams. You can build a deck yourself and place it next to a house for the illusion of a connected deck without the hassle. Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don’t have to cut the deck away from the home.

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.
