Q: What other materials can I use instead of composite decking?

• <div><p>Composite decking boards aren't your only options for building a deck. There are several other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/good-material-key-long-lasting-decks.htm">types of materials for decks</a>, including wood and aluminum decking. Wood decking comes in many different wood species, offering natural beauty and classy timelessness to your yard. Aluminum is a lightweight, water-resistant, and low-maintenance material that is also non-slip. </p></div>

Q: Do you need handrails on a deck that is 16 inches off the ground?

• <div><p>You typically don&rsquo;t need a railing and handrails on a deck that&rsquo;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&mdash;plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to sand an old deck before staining?

• <div><p>In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. </p></div>

Q: Should deck boards be nailed or screwed?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Should I cover my deck with a tarp in winter?

• <div><p>Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don&rsquo;t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you&rsquo;ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity. </p></div>

"Excellent!! In my newly purchased home, I wanted the color in the master bedroom changed. The existing paint job was excellent - I just wanted a different color (from blue to gray). When I showed Matt my choices he made a suggestion (a warmer gray as opposed to a cooler gray for the bedroom). I am so glad I followed his advice. Matt arrived on time with all tools and materials. He removed wall plates and covered trim. He asked me to look after the first coat to make sure he was doing what I wanted. Then, when finished - it was so beautiful! The color turned out to be perfect and completely covered the old color. The job was spotless in that there were no skipped spaces and no disturbance to the already perfectly done trim and closet door (which were white). Matt is so professional and also so personable. He is a dream to work with!!
