"We had a wonderful experience with The Besette Boys. They installed new kitchen island Cabinets, countertop, and sink for us. Their work is top notch. Our island looks beautiful and works for us way past any expectations we had. They are highly professional and do excellent work. So much so, we are having them back to do more plumbing work and cabinet installation."

"We hired Pearson to repair and renovate our back deck. We needed to have a new railing installed and some support beams installed under the two decks. After we met to discuss the project, Pearson provided a detailed estimate and after a brief project alteration, we selected his company for our project. The total project was projected to take 3 weeks and Pearson despite other jobs and winter weather completed the job on time. He consulted us frequently when he had questions and kept us updated on his progress. From beginning to end we were happy with his companies work. He was easy to work with and personable. His crew worked hard and took care of the nuances of a construction project. From beginning to clean up, everything was a 10+."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, snow should be removed from a deck to protect it from damage caused by moisture and heavy loads. Shovel the snow off of your deck regularly once it is more than four inches deep. Avoid using salt, which can damage your deck.

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. 

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

You can nail or screw composite decking, but 3-inch decking screws are the better fastener choice. Unlike nails, decking screws won’t back out of the composite material over time. There’s also little danger of splitting composite material when driving screws, so you don’t need to pre-drill holes unless otherwise recommended by your decking manufacturer.
