"Getting a quote was easy and timely. The price was very fair. We paid by check with 1/2 down and completed check payment at completion of job. We contacted the end of April and the job completed a few weeks later. The 2 employees who showed up on time and were nice and great with communication to make sure they knew exactly what we wanted and expected. They were respectful of our and neighbor property. The 2 employees were joined by another couple of employees and the job was completed mid afternoon. They checked in about obstacles and questions to make sure we knew what would be done. We are very happy with the work. The above work type didn’t let me choose the exact job. Residence. They removed an 35 yr old rotten fence and built the new cedar fence with steel posts and a gates in a day."

"My gutters are sparkling! Nathan worked deftly around our lawn care crew, who inconveniently showed up at the same time he did to address my project. I am quite satisfied with my newly cleaned gutters, ready for the year ahead. Anytime Shine did the job!"

"I originally got a quote to install my new microwave over the new range. I hired them and that turned into many projects. They installed my microwave and made sure it was properly ventilated Added tile around the top of my shower and floor. Installed a new vanity light, new fan exhaust in the bathroom and split the switch where I could use them separately. Added beadboard to the wall in my bathroom, secured the vanity and added a backslash. Added new backslash in the kitchen and secured 2 cupboards. Installed a new garbage disposal and fixed and electrical outlet in my kitchen Took my old sliding glass door out and installed a new one. Cleaned the gutters for me and cleaned the leaves off my deck. Not only was Jason and Jessie very professional and courteous, they took the time to answer any questions I had and explained what they were doing, and paid attention to details. The price is worth a job well done. I highly recommend them to anyone. I know I will use them again."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

Yes, deck pier blocks can be used as an alternative to traditional deck footings, especially for smaller or low-to-the-ground decks. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks do not require digging or pouring. However, their use is dependent on local building codes. Some areas, particularly those prone to high winds, earthquakes, or hurricanes, may not permit the use of deck pier blocks. It is essential to consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck project.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.
