"This is the third time Carl has worked for us. He did roof repair and built an outside deck before. This time we were renovating our kitchen. Carl spent 4 days removing wood paneling, painting, plumbing and even made several trips to Home Depot to pick up needed materials. Carl is an excellent worker. He is honest, reliable, conscientious and a pleasure to work with. Obviously, we highly recommend him and would definitely use him for any future home renovations or repairs.

"I was so impressed with the efficient, professional and pleasant manner of this company. It was the best pressure washing job I've ever had. Job included screened pool cage and deck, outside of house, hurricane shutters, 3 car garage driveway and all sidewalks (not just my property sidewalks but the ones on the border of my property, which I'm responsible for keeping clean. I liked that he used a blower first to get rid of the debris and cobwebs. Good price for all that was done."

"We got lucky with these guys. They were professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and honest.. The work entailed removing kitchen cabinets and walls due to water damage that turned into mold. My whole family was sick. After the remediation, they sanitized the whole house, furnishings, and the AC units. Thank you Angle List for sending me these guys!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
