"I needed rotting wood right under a glass block window surrounded by vinyl siding replaced. Joseph was punctual in meeting me at my house to discuss the details of the work. He promptly gave me a reasonable and very competitive quote, so I hired him. He arrived early in the morning at the agreed-upon date and time and meticulously completed the job in one working day. He carefully removed the existing siding, replaced the rotten wood frame under the glass blocks along with new studs, installed new metal flashing and new vapor barrier, and put the siding back on right with caulk. I was out of town during the time he did this work, and so he sent me pictures of the job. Several contractors did not want to touch this work because they considered it to be a little more on the complex side, but Joseph did it and did a great job. I 100%, highly recommend him for your simple and even more complex handyman jobs."

"Well, I have to say, as long as we keep the lawn watered, our yard is the greenest in the neighborhood. However, we never seem to rid ourselves of all weeds. Bug Out also takes care of our pest control

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

The best way to clean your decking is to clear debris from the gaps between the boards, sweep the surface, rinse it, apply cleaner, rinse again, and let it dry fully. A homemade deck cleaner made of two gallons of warm water and 1/2 cup vinegar is a simple cleaning solution for both wood and composite decking. You can sprinkle baking soda on any spots with mold or mildew, then scrub the area and rinse clean. 

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

Yes, you can attach a deck to a mobile home, but it’s important that the work be done correctly to avoid the potential for major damage to your home. Many building codes require that any additions to mobile homes—including decks—be either freestanding or have their own support structures. Getting permits may require submitting the home's original floor plan, the proposed floor plan, framing details, and more.
