"Phillip and his team did an excellent job not only on our painting requirements, but also on other repairs around our home that we learned were services they offered. The team was very organized, did the heavy lifting, disassembly and reassembly of our larger furniture items; and impressed with their knowledge to disassemble and reassemble our home entertainment unit and have us watching TV each night they were on the job. Their prices were very competitive and a Value for the quality of their work. I highly recommend Northshore Painting for interior and exterior painting as well as other home improvement requirements."

"Kylah and his crew have an excellent work ethic. They did a great job repairing, refurbishing and staining our back deck. Kylah gave great advice and tips when we encountered serious wood rot due to improper construction by prior installer and I believe we are in much better shape and will get a longer life out of the deck now. Highly recommend!"

"I absolutely this company, Upon seeing I needed a roof, RH & MS contacted me. They came immediately to patch the hole created by Hurricane Ida. Mr. Mike worked with me with the FEMA process. Once approved by FEMA, Mr. Mike came with his crew and fixed my roof in 1 day. I find Mr. Mike and company totally professional and courteous. He worked with me with the money FEMA gave me. He took the time to come in my house to see if any water damage was in any room. Mr. Mike was patient with me, explained everything clearly and thoroughly of what was going to be done. I am a senior and his courtesy and patience is so appreciated. He was timely, efficient and a job very well done. For the money, they did an excellent job. The new roof is of excellent quality. the detail to the new roof was so very satisfying. I would definitely recommend RG & MS to anyone. Any home project that I need, I will only call this company. They are punctual, patient and made me feel totally at ease and sure that the work they said they would do was done quickly and efficiently. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Mike. He was and is so kind."

"Came out the same day for a quote which was great! The job was priced a bit high after all was wrapped up. Had an unconventional way of receiving a large payment which made it feel a bit sketchy. Quality of the repairs were good."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

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.

Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat damage.

When sourced responsibly, the most sustainable wood decking options are timber trees like redwood, pine, Douglas fir, Nootka cypress, and Western red cedar. These tree species are fast-growing with low carbon emissions. Plus, most timber woods make durable deck materials because of their resistance to rot and decay over time.
