"Bill is very easy to communicate with and very flexible, which I really appreciated. Initially I hired him to do some ceiling drywall repair after a small roof leak, replace a few exterior doors, replace some rotten siding, and fix a non-working gate. His work was great. But I also added on a number of other small items as he worked and he did a great job communicating with me throughout the process. He also made some good suggestions regarding problems he identified around the house that should be addressed in the future, without being pushy at all."

Customers say: Quick response

"Jeff is by far the best contractor we have ever worked with. He did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it. He was honest, on time, hard working, and fun to have around! He worked with our drawings and offered suggestions on making the remodel better. His craftsmanship is unmatched. We will not let anyone else touch our house but Jeff! Every day we enjoy our new master bedroom and bath even more and wouldn't change a thing. You won't regret hiring Jeff."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

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.

The best material for your deck depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it’s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking.

Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you’d like to remove it more quickly.

A sunroom will add more value to your home than a deck, but with a much higher up-front cost. Depending on its construction and function, a sunroom may be counted as additional living space, while a deck is strictly an outdoor feature. Both will increase your home’s value, but the sunroom will have a much bigger effect.
