"BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! From the first phone call to the day I paid the balance in full this was one of the most pleasant companies I have ever dealt with! Dan came out to provide a quote. While he was taking measurements he provided me with a sample book of shingles to look at and help get an idea of what we might like. Once he completed the measure he sat down with us to explain the process, options, pros and cons of different products, etc. I received the quote to following day and it was amazing! It also included possible add-ons like gutters, gutter guards, etc. After reviewing the quote I e-mailed back the contract binder (this was on Tuesday). A few minutes later I received a call from Shirley in the office to explain the next step. She was knowledgeable about the process and VERY friendly! The following day I received an e-mail that Steve, the owner, would like to begin the construction the following day (way faster than anticipated!). They sent a rep to our house to pick-up and notarize the consent to proceed form in order to pull the permit. We had a permit that afternoon. On Thursday morning the crew arrived at 7:30 and begin work immediately. It took approximately 2 days to complete the roof on our 1100 sq.ft. home. On Monday, the gutters were installed. Steve personally stopped by Wednesday afternoon to check the work and collect the payment. He was very friendly and down to earth. I couldn't praise his company enough!"

"Very professional and thorough with every step of the project. My busted tile shower floor was repaired quickly and it looks like there was never any repairs done - good as new. The team arrived on time and cleaned everything up after completion. Everyone was courteous and took the time to do quality work at a fair price. Will definitely call Gift Remodeling again for our bathroom remodel later."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor 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 crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

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.

Decks require several inspections during and after the building process, but the specifics vary depending on where you live. Most areas mandate that decks comply with local building codes and safety regulations for the foundation, framing, and structure. Some pros recommend a footing inspection, which verifies the depth, width, and location of the various footings to ensure they offer enough foundational support.

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro. 

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.
