"We did get off on the wrong foot when Boris did not show up for the appointment to review and quote on the fence repairs. I wasted half of afternoon waiting for him since he did not call to advise he wasn't coming and did not answer my call. He did show up the following day unannounced and did look to see what the project entailed. Boris was very polite and apologized for not contacting me about missing the first appointment. He provided me with a quote via email that evening. He agreed to schedule the work for some time late in the month but in the event he was able to get the work done within the week. Boris and his helper arrived at mid-morning and worked through the rest of the day to remove five rotted fence posts and repair/reattach a section that had blown out during a heavy winter wind. Their work was nicely done, sturdy, and the six work areas were well-cleaned when they were finished. Based the quality of work and a competitive price, I am glad I chose to have Boris do the work despite my irritation at the outset. I would certainly ask him again to repair the fence if the need arose."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

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.

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.

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.
