"NuAgain cleaned and sealed our patio block deck in late July, 2025. It was a 2 day process. We were informed in a timely manner of each step of the process. The workers were very professional and did an excellent job in a timely manner. I recommend this company for your patio, deck and fence maintenance needs."

"I am pleased to share my positive experience with Suburban Handyman LLC from Aurora. As someone who enjoys DIY projects to save money, I recognize the value of professional expertise for certain tasks. My wife and I are delighted to have found Suburban Handyman, and our entire experience, from obtaining a quote to the quality of work, was exceptionalâ especially considering this is our first time seeking the services of a handyman. We had concerns about a leak on our second floor, extending through the kitchen roof, as well as moisture issues in both upstairs bathrooms. The scheduling process was straightforward, and Thomas, the handyman, was prompt and respectful of our homeâ he wore shoe covers throughout. Thomas actively listened to our concerns, providing thoughtful options for addressing the leak and moisture problems. Notably, he was not only professional but also considerate, taking the time to explain the potential impact on our kids with asthma. He kindly advised us on how to prepare and informed us of areas in the house the kids could go during the work. This level of consideration and communication stood out, especially in contrast to another professional who proposed a $95 charge just to assess our concerns. Thomas went above and beyond during the project, addressing two bath fans and fixing the leak. Additionally, he demonstrated meticulous attention to detail by caulking the bathtub and offering guidance for future maintenance. Moreover, Thomas identified that the previous exhaust vent, installed by another service provider, was poorly built and connected. He went the extra mile to rectify the situation, purchasing the right materials that should have been used initially. This showcases his dedication to delivering high-quality service and correcting mistakes made by others. Despite adverse weather conditions (it being -12 degrees on a Sunday in Chicago), Thomas returned to sand the drywall, insisting on completing the job thoroughly. We are eager to continue working with Suburban Handyman LLC, as Thomas's dedication, professionalism, and expertise have left us thoroughly impressed. Our sincere thanks to Thomas for a job well doneâ we look forward to engaging his services again."

"Francisco and Judy did excellent work. They repaired and painted my living room, dining room and kitchen ceilings and walls. The rooms haven't looked this good in many years. Also, the cleanup was fantastic! In addition to their professionalism, their friendliness and help made them so easy to work with. They said that they would take care of my home as if it was their own, and they did."

"I hired 360 Painting of Yorkville to repair drywall tape failures on my main level ceiling, walls in my hallway, master bedroom/bathroom, and powder room, as well as 2 stress cracks under 2 of my windows in our home. Adam came out and walked with me through my home to give us our estimate. The price was very reasonable! All of the work was done in 2 days. The team of painters was very professional and courteous. They arrived right at 8:00 both mornings, and they covered all of my floors, cabinets, counters, and furniture to protect them from dust and paint. Everything was repaired very well and you can't tell where they did any of the work! They matched all of my existing paint perfectly! I found some additional things I decided I wanted fixed after the first day, so I contacted Adam, and he added them to my proposal and the team was still able to complete the job in 2 days, even with all the extra things I added on a whim! And the pricing was still extremely reasonable! I would HIGHLY recommend 360 Painting to anyone looking to either have a basic paint done, or even if you need major repairs!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

No, it isn’t necessary to skirt a deck, but investing in the cost to install deck skirting can bring more value to your home. Not only does deck skirting make the deck look more complete, but it can also turn otherwise unused space beneath the deck into useful storage space.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.
