"I am trying to move and I had many small projects to complete on my home to get it ready for market. With moving and all - these were completely overwhelming to me. Thank goodness for Don - he came and completed everything in 1 day!! He came on the day and time we agreed upon. He worked the whole time he was here and was focused on completing everything well. I do not even think he took a break. I think he wants repeat business, good reviews, and for you to recommend him to others and these are some of the things that cause him to really do a good job. The projects he completed were: 1. Filling in grout in tile floors 2. Fixing nail holes and painting over them 3. Fixing a crack in the wall 4. Pressure washing garage 5. Fixing an outdoor light - attaching to masonry wall 6. Adjusting posts on outside deck 7. Touch up painting on wall and ceiling Don - will get it done - so you can move on!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Both composite and PVC decking are excellent alternatives to wood. However, while composite is moderately priced and lasts around 30 years, PVC costs more and lasts longer. PVC is also more durable, though both materials are more durable than wood decking. Ultimately, the choice between composite and PVC decking will come down to your budget and preferences.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.
