"The gentleman were prompt and very courteous. They worked diligently and made sure that I was completely satisfied with the work. The price was very reasonable, and they did a great job! They went above and beyond what was required. They provided helpful information about places for purchasing a ceiling fan. They paid such close attention to details during the work. They also made sure that the work area was left clean and tidy after repairs were done. I will definitely call Honeybears Home Repair for other projects."

"Panda sent a guy to assess the damage and make an estimate of repair. He took pictures, fully explained to me what they would do and assured me that their work would be guaranteed for several years. After I accepted the proposal they sent two young men who clearly were experienced in roof repair. They tore up the old shingles, showed me the rotten subsurface plywood and then removed it. They put in a new 4' by 8' section of plywood and added some extra support rails under the replaced piece just for extra insurance. New vents were installed with flashing and then they put down the water block underlay roofing paper. They had searched for similar shingles to replace as closely with the existing shingles color as possible. Wonderful job. Good people. Would recommend highly."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Both aluminum and composite decking materials are environmentally friendly, with aluminum decking coming in as the most eco-friendly option. 

Though composite decking helps remove plastics from landfills, recycles wood, and lasts longer than traditional wood decks, it’s not recyclable and only lasts for 25 to 30 years on average. Aluminum can last well over 30 years and is almost always recyclable.
