"Legacy Home did a fantastic job with installing a brand new fence. I told them of long and wide the fence should be and they built exactly what I asked for. Overall I am extremely excited for my brand new fence."

"Connor was very efficient and professional. He repaired a small section of wood fencing and reattached the gate. Even though this was a small project, he treated us as a priority. Very personable and easy to work with. He kept us informed throughout the project. Highly recommend him."

"Ten years ago we had our already large deck expanded and upgraded from wood to composite. Earlier this year we noticed that our deck began to sag, and within weeks it almost collapsed. Marco to the rescue! He was able to show us why the deck collapsed. I was clearly poor workmanship by the previous company. Our deck was beautifully rebuilt using a majority of the existing composite material, thus keeping our costs to a minimum. We plan to use Marco for additional changes to the deck. We would highly recommend him!"

"It went very well. Nathan Brumbelow and his crew is an outstanding job on our house. They were professional and well versed in their job functions. Custom Painting and Home Repairs were easy to work with, and did a couple of things that were outside of the contract. They also suggested some changes that helped get the job done. They also cleaned up well after the completion of the paint job. We were very happy with Custom Painting and Home Pairs work, and would use them again."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.

Yes, you can build a pool deck yourself, but it takes precision, a lot of time, and many specific tools. You’ll need to create a deck plan, be careful with measurements, cut each piece of wood, secure the pieces properly, and ensure the deck meets building codes. Building a deck around a pool is a rewarding DIY, but it’s time- and labor-intensive, so thoughtfully consider your abilities and the time you have before embarking on this DIY.

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.

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.

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.
