"We needed a few rotting boards on our deck replaced. They were professional, easy to communicate with, on time, and did an amazing job. Replaced 3 boards, sanded, and painted all in about an hour. Fast & efficient. I would use them again. Thank you!"

"Kevin is so much more than a handyman. He has demoed a deck, installed piers, removed and installed new subfloors, done my kitchen floor, assembled furniture, fixed my gate, installed a bidet, and Iâ m sure thereâ s more that Iâ ve forgotten. He was an absolute lifesaver when a L*weâ s subcontractor almost destroyed my entire living room floor only to attempt to get me to pay him directly. Kevin is my go to person for all things related to my home needs. His knowledge, professional, and kindness cannot be overstated. Kevin is dependable, trustworthy, and communicative. His provides quality work at a fair price and I am blessed to know him."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

The overhang, or nosing, of deck steps is another area that will be covered in building code requirements. The noses on your deck steps should have a minimum overhang of ¾ inch. For safety, usability, and code compliance, the nosing of deck steps should not extend past 1¼ inches.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

No. In most cases, it’s not colder or freezing temperatures that affect decking materials but the amount of moisture that seeps into the materials as a result. For example, wood decking material is more likely to suffer from rot or decay when exposed to excess moisture from snow or ice. An extreme change in temperature can cause wood to expand or contract, but only if it’s not properly treated beforehand.
