"I got Josh Beuten’s name of JB Deck and Fence Renewal from Angie’s List. I was very satisfied with the job he did. He called me the same day I contacted you with my information and came out that day. He sent me an estimate and I decided to have him do it. Josh and his wife came out and power washed the deck within a couple of days. Two days later he returned to finish the job. He was very careful to make sure that anything that might get paint on it that shouldn’t would be covered completely and he paint brushed the area near the house. I really appreciated his thoughtfulness. He asked me what color I wanted on the deck and asked him what he would suggest. I really love the color he suggested. Josh was very polite and knew what he was doing. I would recommend him to anyone."

"I spoke with Daniel on 1st day, we conversed back and forth. Right away he stated they could fix the door to close properly. Sent pics, he gave quote and stuck by that amount. Later we wanted door plate done as well. Extra amount was fair. The worker was most efficient and no nonsense, didn't stop until he was done. Very happy. Will choose again for other projects for sure."

"Ayala Paintman Services was extremely efficient in quickly responding to my request for a quote. A member of the team was sent to gather information and to take pictures to send to owner who was currently on vacation. Although he was on vacation he still responded to me with an electronic quote within one day. He called me an hour later to see if i had any questions. He demonstrated he wanted to earn my business. After the contractor did the initial power washing of the wood siding it was apparent that some of the siding needed to be replaced. This contractor was very fair in working with me and was very reasonable with the addional charges that would be required to replace 4 sheets of siding. The paint crew were very hard workers and stayed on task completing the job within 4 days. This job required skilled personal who took pride in their work. It had been 12 years since my house had last been painted and needed repair. Looks great now. I am very satisfied."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another.

A quality, well-maintained PVC decking can last 30 to 50 years. It’s known for being one of the most durable types of decking materials, with composite decking having a 25- to 30-year average lifespan and some softwood deckings only lasting 10 to 15 years. Luxury hardwood decks like Ipe may last longer than PVC decking, but they can cost more and require more maintenance.

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.

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.
