"Ben also painted my deck. He was meticulous in protecting surrounding structures from any damage or overspray. He was efficient, well organized, and personable. He cleaned up when the job was completed and removed the trash. My deck has been in place for many years and looked terrible. When Ben completed the work the deck took on new life. I am very happy with his work and would use him again."

"We hired Fresh Coat to repair moisture damage to my mother's dining room ceiling. Terry Williams came out and gave my 86-year-old mother a very reasonable quote to repair the damage in the dining room and to primer coat and paint the ceilings in the kitchen, dining room and living room. After talking to my mother, she decided that she wanted the walls and woodwork trim in all three areas painted as well. Mr. Williams came back out to provide an updated quote. The quote was very reasonable. We decided to accept their quote and due to a cancelation is his schedule the job was able to start the very next day. We had Donna and CW as the painters and my mother loved them from the very beginning. Each day they showed up on time with Mr. Williams. They went far and above what was expected. Each day when they finished, they cleaned up their work. Throughout the process Mr. Williams would be there each morning to check on the progress. Mr. Williams never asked for any money until the job was finished. The final bill was exactly the same as the original quote even though they did more work than was in the original quote due to my mother's age. We could not be happier with the final results and would defiantly hire them again. I can't say enough good things about them!"

"We had our fence replaced and although it took a little longer than expected (reason for 4 1/2 stars) it was a hard project as we had a Captains fence built and we are extremely pleased with it. Rob and Mike are meticulous with their work and we appreciated them being as picky as we are and doing the job right. We can’t say enough about how hard Rob and Mike worked, they are definitely dedicated to doing a good job and didn’t hesitate in listening to what we asked for and wanted. They even had some great suggestions of their own. The fence is beautiful and the talk of our subdivision. Donald is easy going and willing to work with you for your needs and budget. I definitely recommend Quality Home Improvements!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.
