"I hired Laguna to paint the exterior eaves and trim on my brick home. We had also put a new garage door that we wanted them to include in the project. Our back patio is covered and they also painted the ceiling and beams and posts there. I am impressed with the thoroughness they showed in completing this project. The color and paint texture is perfect, and they even had a special paint for our gutters. It was completed in two days after a thorough power wash. They are professional and pleasant to work with. The House looks fresh and renewed. They cleaned up afterward. I am more than satisfied and I will keep their card in my file for future use. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a project well done."

"Alpha Fence is a great company to work with. Their pricing is fair. The work ethic is outstanding!!! When the fence was done it looked perfect, but I needed it lower to the ground. This was done without question and without any hastle. Tracy is superb to work with. They came when they said they would and put in more than a full day's work until the job was complete. The fence looks so nice I am very proud of the finished product. I heartly recommend Alpha Fence and welcome anyone to come and see the quality of the finished job."

"The team at Fence Doctor responded quickly to my request, and had a technician out within 2 days and the job completed same day. A section of our fence was knocked over during a wind storm, and they were able to re-use the undamaged materials to keep costs low, and the fence is better than it was before. They installed metal posts, replacing the wood that failed, which should last for a long time. Great people, great work!"

"Charlie is way more than a handyman. His many decades of experience and SKILL is immediately evident. I hired him to replace a deck with composite. He showed up when he said he would and did not leave the job until completed. As a single women I felt safe and confident the job would be done right. He will be my go to guy for any and all future projects."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Wood decks need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years on average. Natural wood is highly vulnerable to infiltration and damage from moisture, which can occur rapidly due to exposure to outdoor elements. You can protect your deck and maximize its lifespan by sealing it every year or two.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.

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.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.
