"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."

"Crystal left the place sparkling! She was very thorough and I very pleased! Price seemed reasonable ($50/hr). I was especially relieved that Luis could squeeze me in quickly as I had renovations done and hadn’t had time to do a deep clean before guests arriving today for a memorial service. Would definitely use their services again!"

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

The overhang, or nosing, of deck steps is another area that will be covered in building code requirements. The noses on your deck steps should have a minimum overhang of ¾ inch. For safety, usability, and code compliance, the nosing of deck steps should not extend past 1¼ inches.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

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.

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

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.
