We wholeheartedly recommend Gary’s services and extend our sincere thanks to him and his team for a job well done. Mahalo!"

"Steve arrived on time, was professional and courteous.  He performed work both at our home and at our vacation rental.  At our house, he replaced our screen and the latch to screen door as freebie.  The latch was a great bonus as I didn't even think to ask for this repair of our broken lock, but it is a huge help as we have pets that like to let themselves out the door occasionally and we were using a propped up stick to keep closed.  Steve also was a great help at our vacation rental in Kaanapali.  He did some paint touchups, reinstalled a cabinet and safe, as well as do a check of the drains to the sink and adjust our cabinet doors.  As I have found in the past that finding good help on Maui is not always easy, working with Steve was easy and his price was reasonable (also something hard to find).  I am happy to say I now have a handyman on Maui that I can rely on and have Steve scheduled to come back to the house in the next week for other repairs.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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. 

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.
