"Outstanding job by Honeybears Home Repair! They were the first to respond to my request to have two retractable hose reels installed, on both sides of my house. They were also the least expensive. They were prompt and responsive. The work itself high quality workmanship. They are going to be my go-to people for all handyman tasks. Great company, honest and reliable people."

"Andy came to look at old deck (which was starting to rot). He explained the process to me. As I had already decided to use Trex decking, I was pleased that he brought samples of the different types of decking that Trex offered. Made my decision easier. After a few delays (hurricane, etc.) the old wooden deck was torn out and replaced by a wonderful new Trex Transcend deck in the island mist color. Fermin and Jhon arrived the first day and tore out the deck and supports. They also cleaned out and leveled the area for the new deck. By the next afternoon, I was the proud owner of a beautiful new deck! Everything was cleaned up and hauled away. I am very impressed with their work ethics as well as their willingness to keep going even though it was raining. I appreciated that I was ask for input as Fermin was spacing the boards. Thank you all so much for a job well done!"

"After a horrible experience with a prior painter we met Winy at the Lowe’s paint counter. She was prompt with a fair estimate to finish the job AND fix what was not done correctly by the original guy. Her and her team came in and were very considerate of our home and belongings. We could not recommend JV Painting highly enough."

Deck Repair 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. 

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

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.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.
