"Ed is a very friendly and professional. He did an excellent job power washing and staining our deck and gave us a great price. We had quite a few heavy items that needed to be moved off our deck before he could start. My husband and I are not physically able to do this. Ed removed them and when he was finished with the job he put everything back exactly where it was. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone who wants their tired old deck looking new again."

"Mr. Bean is a craftsman. I have a 30+ year old fence that was damaged by wind. I connected with Paint 101 through Angi. Mr Bean reached out to me and presented me with a quote within 2 days and completed all the work within 10 days. Work included replacing multiple sections of the fence, resetting posts, and rebuilding the gate. He stick built each section as well as the gate on site. We are very pleased with the work, the fence is stronger now because of a few modifications that Mr Bean made to the original design. Throughout the process, Mr Bean was in constant communication with me to let me know when he would be at the house. The weather did not cooperate as the project was completed in December, so getting text updates was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Paint 101 for your home projects. I will definitely be calling Keith Bean , Paint 101, in the future!"

"Whale Maintained Properties have actually done a number of jobs for me over the years. Most recently they installed a bathtub and surround in an upstairs bathroom for me. They've also handled HVAC and water heater maintenance and repair, faucet and toilet replacement, and hardwood floor refinishing for me. They always communicate well and deliver great quality for the price. They even make sure my dog, who is small and likes to run for the door, never gets out of the house while they're working on something. I really couldn't be happier with the work they've done for me over the years."

"Josh Masters of Masters Interior Carpentry came out to our home three separate times: Once to evaluate the project and two to complete the project. In addition to our three-door installation, he and his partner also did additional work for us at our request: Hung two ceiling fans, installed bath/shower/tub/ plumbing and light fixtures and laid wood flooring. While Josh may be newer to the industry than some of the other handymen we interviewed, he is kind, thoughtful and a hard worker who is very eager to learn. He is also flexible in his scheduling and in his willingness to perform additional tasks as necessary. I would not hesitate to call on Josh in the future should I be in need of repair or replacement services for my home."

"When I met George, we talked about options for my 2 cars carport at my backyard (measurements & time frame). He's very knowledgeable of what He is doing. He also manages His crew very well. He is Mr Wright to do the right job. My family loves the carport that we don't have to worry about getting wet on rainy season to get in and out of the car. Our carport is very nice, huge, and sturdy. Thanks to R Wright Construction."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

The cost to build a deck around a pool typically ranges from $3,000 to $12,000, depending on the size, material, and whether you tackle the build yourself. Most people pay an average of $5,000 for their pool deck project. Hiring a pro to build a pool will cost you more for labor, but it will be worth it to ensure a safe and secure installation.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Materials for a second-story deck must be weather- and rot-resistant, though the specific choices will largely be determined by your budget and style preference. Pressure-treated wood is on the lower end of the price scale, but it can be customized and stained the way you like it. Composite, on the other hand, is pricier for installation and has fewer options for customization, but you’ll save money and time in the long run because it requires little maintenance.

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.
