Q: What's the least expensive way to build a pool deck?

• <div><p>The least expensive way to build a pool deck is with concrete deck blocks, pressure-treated lumber, and the appropriate hardware for hanging joists and securing deck boards. With these basic yet durable <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-material-right-choice-my-deck.htm">deck materials</a>, you'll have a pool deck that's built to last without the high price tag. You should also stain or seal the deck to protect it against the elements.</p></div>

Q: What is the standard spacing for railing spindles or balusters?

• <div><p>Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.</p></div>

Q: Why is my deck fuzzy after pressure washing?

• <div><p>Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you&rsquo;d like to remove it more quickly.</p></div>

Q: Should deck boards be nailed or screwed?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is a deck more accessible than a patio?

• <div><p>Generally, a patio is more accessible than a standard deck because patios are constructed at ground level. However, decks can be made accessible by adding a wheelchair-accessible ramp, a vertical lift, or a stair lift along the entry. An ADA-compliant deck ramp costs about <b>$3,000</b> on average. The additional investment will provide a much friendlier experience for your guests with movement impairments.</p></div>

Before Pic. Customer purchased home that had an already finished basement but had the need to redesign layout for more living space and update finishes.

Customer wanted to remove this wall and create a custom opening with Granite top.

We completely demo'd out the basement down to the concrete and then redesigned a new floor plan with the customer that fit their lifestyle requirements

"Paul stopped by the next day after asking him to stop by to look at the work that needed to be done. He took about 5 minutes and said that he could do it for about $850. We called back and asked for a written estimate and explanation of what he was exactly going to do. He obliged. We receive the contract and signed it within 2 days. Paul's workers came on time that Friday. Within three hours, they had the old beam out and the new beam in. Everything went as planned. After the job was finished, the workers cleaned up the work area. It seemed like they were never there. We needed to replace some gutter guards on the gutter they took down to install the beam. Paul said he would install the ''no maintenance'' guards for us for about $100 extra. We agreed. Overall, we are really happy with the work they did. Paul and his workers are super friendly. We saved over $2000 going with Paul. We will definitely be using them again for future projects."
