I am a small town guy, who takes great quality in my craftsmanship at anything I do. I have alot of different types of handyman services i can offer, whether it be you're needing some flooring done, a tile shower, a backslash. I can install most of any type of hardware and assemble your furniture if needed and show you how to use it as well. If you need your gutters cleaned, replaced, or vinyl soffit. Also do pressure washing and some landscaping as well as well as deck repairs. I would absolutely love to have your business! I treat all my clients with respect and treat you like family.

"I looked out from my back porch on a Friday and the entire back of our yard looked like a skating rink -- and we were due to leave for 3 months on Sunday (in 2 days time). I absolutely panicked as we had non-refundable tickets. I "Googled" sprinkler repair people and called the only one listed in our area -- no reply, left message, no one EVER returned the call. I contacted HomeAdvisor on-line, typed in the problem and Scott's Landscaping guy called me an hour later and came 30 minutes after that -- 2 guys and were they great! They located the main sprinkler on/off valves (there were 2 valves that the previous "sprinkler" guy had left ON, turned it off -- which stopped the leak after they located where it was coming from. It was 8 degrees that day, but they managed to dig down and repair the pipe. They will come back in the spring to see if they can get my sprinkler system going again as it hasn't been used in about 6 years! They were great and very, very reasonable. I will use them again, definitely."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Composite decking is the best material for individuals living with disabilities who want to age in place. The material is anti-slip, which increases safety throughout the year. It’s also highly durable and requires minimal maintenance, so it doesn’t add another item to the individual’s to-do list. It’s also a good option for improving wheelchair accessibility at home, as it can easily manage a wheelchair ramp.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor 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 crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

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.

Because adding a deck will yield a higher property value, you may have higher insurance costs. It’s important to follow the codes and regulations set by your local and state governments, so your insurance rates can be properly calculated. You may need an insurance revaluation after your deck is completed. The best course of action is to speak with an insurance professional to understand how adding a deck will impact your home’s insurance costs before you begin.
