"This is the second or third time I’ve used Rich and his wife to pressure wash and paint the porches and exterior decks at my condo in Saint Simons Island. As always absolutely professional work at a reasonable cost. I would recommend Barefoot Handyman for any handyman work. Honest, great communication, and exemplary work."

"Shingle Pros was a first class service! Stanley was on time, did a walk around with me, and got the job done well and quickly. He took the time to tape over all my outlets and key holes to make sure they didnâ t get corroded. He was very personable, showed great attention to detail, and did a perfect job. I will absolutely be a returning customer."

"Roxine, her husband Richard and her crew performed extensive drywall repairs, carpentry repairs (wood paneling, moulding and doors) and a complete interior paint job for us. The project came out looking great even though they were working under adverse circumstances (no overhead lights, overlap with other work going on) and a tight schedule (completion by Christmas promised and delivered, despite the conditions and some setbacks encountered along the way). For the few minor touch-ups requested, she came right back out and made sure we were completely satisfied with the results. Roxine is a pleasure to work with -- she responds quickly, does what she promises and does it on time, honors her quotes and is very accommodating to customer needs. Highly recommended!"

"We hired Rich and Toni to pressure wash and paint our front steps/stoop, back deck and railings. We had another company to do this about three years ago, and within a year there were bare spots, peeling and a lot of mildew. Once we observed the process that Rich and Toni used to complete the job (wash, sand, paint, sand, paintâ ¦) it was clear why there was a huge discrepancy between the first companyâ s results and the outcome of the Barefoot Painters! Once we saw the results of their outdoor work, we asked Toni and Rich about repainting our kitchen cabinets. We originally thought we would have to reface the doors (they had a coating on them that had yellowed over the years, and they looked very old and tired.) They assured us that refinishing the cabinets would make them look brand new. They took off the 20 cabinet doors to refinish at home, then came back to work on the boxes. Without us asking, they also painted the backs of the doors, inside the drawers, and bought/replaced all of the hinges, and put buffers of the doors and drawers. The cabinets look brand new! I canâ t say enough about the friendliness, thoroughness, reliability and honesty of this company! The pricing was very reasonable, they made sure our house was clean every day when they left, and they were clear in any communication. Rich and Toni are meticulous in their work, making sure everything meets their high standards. We already have plans to use them in the future!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The overhang, or nosing, of deck steps is another area that will be covered in building code requirements. The noses on your deck steps should have a minimum overhang of ¾ inch. For safety, usability, and code compliance, the nosing of deck steps should not extend past 1¼ inches.

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.

To prepare a deck for a hot tub, start by thinking about safe and easy access in and out of the tub. Homeowners should plan for steps or consider built-in seating, a level surface around the perimeter, and a clear, slip-resistant path from the house. A hot tub requires sufficient space around it for comfortable entry and exit, ensuring no awkward squeezing or stepping over high edges. Good lighting and handrails can also make a big difference, especially for nighttime use.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Trex states that its Trex decking is an eco-friendly composite material made of 95% recycled or reclaimed materials (including plastic and wood), making it a sustainable brand of choice. According to the company, Trex is one of the largest plastic bag recyclers in the U.S., with each 500-square-foot Trex deck containing about 140,000 recycled plastic bags.
