"I had an excellent experience working with Mr. Garcia who completed tuckpointing and fixed some siding for me. From the start, their professionalism was evident. They kept me well-informed throughout the entire project, ensuring I understood each step of the process. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship were impressive, resulting in a job well done. The tuckpointing work was expertly executed, restoring the beauty and integrity of my homeâ s brickwork. Additionally, the siding repairs were seamlessly integrated, leaving my exterior looking flawless. I highly recommend this contractor for their reliability, communication, and outstanding workmanship. Itâ s reassuring to know there are professionals like them who take pride in their work and deliver exceptional results."

"We wanted our back porch shortened, updated with composite decking, and new railings. We also replaced our back and storm doors. Robert was responsive, knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. As it was a smaller project, he was able to add his to his schedule within a week. Looks great!"

"Very quick to respond to posting and came next day for estimate. This was a small repair job on fascia and flashing which they handled at time of estimate for a reasonable price, especially considering the minimum fees that bigger contractors charge -- if you can even get the bigger guys to come out. Contractor (Eric) seemed knowledgeable and was polite and professional. Would hire again."

"Our experience with Bursey construction was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We knew that we wanted to remodel our deck but didnâ t know where to begin. However, James did a great job walking us through the process and working within our budget. He completed everything in a timely manner and maintained upmost professionalism. Overall, I couldnâ t be happier with how our deck turned out. Would highly recommend!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

With proper installation and maintenance, a vinyl deck can last up to 30 years. Factors like regular cleaning, minimal wear and tear, proper installation, and the use of higher-grade materials can extend its durability. However, extreme weather conditions or neglecting maintenance might shorten its lifespan. Adhering to manufacturer recommendations for care and occasional inspections can significantly prolong a vinyl deck's longevity.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Both aluminum and composite decking materials are environmentally friendly, with aluminum decking coming in as the most eco-friendly option. 

Though composite decking helps remove plastics from landfills, recycles wood, and lasts longer than traditional wood decks, it’s not recyclable and only lasts for 25 to 30 years on average. Aluminum can last well over 30 years and is almost always recyclable.
