Work done was professionally and neatly. The repairs turned out better than I could have expected. Extremely impressed and will use them again!"

"Excellent job repairing our deck! The job was to power wash, replace boards as needed, and paint. The power wash and replacement of boards was well done. Two coats of paint were applied well. Our unhappiness stems from the finished project's paint not looking at all like the paint chip. We get that the actual paint job won't be a perfect match to the chip, but this was way off and way too light. We noticed as they were going into the second coat and said that it didn't look right. Even after it dried, the color was very much too light. I wish they'd had enough knowledge (?) to advise us of this before they got the paint. They kind of shrugged off our complaint because "this is the shade you ordered." We paid in full for the work they did. Then went to Menard's and found a darker shade of the same paint line that we applied ourselves. The deck looks great now."

"There was a recent all day high wind storm in our area. It partially ripped off a piece of our outside metal trim. We have a small Cape Cod with a high roof. The metal strip of trim kept swinging close to our upstairs new bedroom window .It was making a loud continual scrapping noise. against the house. My husband said he would repair the damage the next day , after the wind storm was over. . He is in his late 60â s and I became worried that he might fall off the high ladder in the process. Friends had told me about sad stories of people that had fallen off high ladders, and broken both hips, legs, arms, and worse , lost their lives. I was becoming anxious . I began searching for a handy man to repair it. I took a photo of the damage too. Most of the handy men that I called told me they did not go up on high ladders. Others said that I would have to wait until next week to get it repaired . The cost of the repair was being estimated between $300.00 -$400.00 . My husband refused to pay that amount and insisted on repairing it himself. The evening was approaching , the wind had not died down yet., and my anxiety level was increasing . I remembered that a friend told me that you can call Home Depot , and ask for names of local handy men that they work with in my area. Home Depot kindly connected me with home advisor, which kindly gave me 3 phone numbers of highly recommended Handy Men . near me. . I happen to call David Anderson name first. It was almost 9pm and actually too late to call anyone, but I was in panic mode , so I tried anyway, expecting to just leave a voicemail . David answered the phone call. He had a calm and kind voice . I sent him a photo of the damage and asked him if he would repair it . He said he would repair it tomorrow and that it wouldnâ t cost several hundred dollars. I was so thankful! David arrived the next afternoon , and repaired it for only $90.00 , but my husband gave him a $100.00. David repaired the trim and bent it back into place . It was hardly noticeable that it was bent! Thank you David! ! My husband and I are very impressed with him! . We highly recommend his work! He is courteous , hard working , and competent Handy Man ! It is hard to find someone like that these days.. We will definitely be using his services in the future !!!"

Deck Repair FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.
