"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.

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

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.

Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.

Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

PVC decking can get slippery when wet because it’s made from plastic. However, composite and wood decking can also be slippery when wet. It’s best to wear shoes with grippy soles when walking on a wet deck, no matter the material, and to be extra cautious not to slip and fall down.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation.
