"Joe and his team did excellent work completing repairs and updates to our home in Rathdrum, ID. They were professional, the communication could not have been better, the surrounding areas were protected, everything was clean when they finished the job, and best of all they were done within our short timeline. We are very happy with the quality of the work and plan on calling this company to finish the rest of our updates. We would definitely recommend them"

Handyman with over 10yrs framing experience building houses from the foundation to the roof. Including everything from forming and pouring the footings and stem walls to complete siding and shingle installation. I also have more than 14yrs with local 26 as a union electrician where I successfully completed a 5yr accredited apprenticeship program through the IBEW . I pride myself with my attention to detail and the fact that I don't and won't cut corners. You can rest assured that your task will be done properly, professionally and in complete compliance with any and all applicable local code requirements. I am constantly learning and educating myself with the most up to date building practices as well as implementing and working with all different types of building materials. I am here to help check things off of that ever growing list and to build lasting professional relationships along the way. Integrity is huge in my mind and I stand behind every project that I am a part of.

"They were great. Did a terrific job and were willing to do whatever I needed done. Even got the stuck lid off my fav cup. My deck looks so good with all the leaves and pine needles gone as does my yard. What a relief to get them gone and all cleaned up. Great humans also."

"I love this company, so courteous, so polite, no cussing, very attentive, and patient with me. This was very important to me, I'm old and loose my train of thought, they were all very respectful, this is so uncommon in the world today. They were on time. They were fast, and did a really good job on everything, and my list was long. They fixed my barn door, my railing for my stairs in the shop, did drywall on my ceiling in the garage, painted my decks and fixed my eave on the playhouse. I would love for them to come our house in Oregon! I would make them my permanent Handyman!!!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.

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.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.
