"Cosme and his crew did excellent work at a reasonable price, and did it quickly. When an unexpected rainstorm messed up the stain he had just put on the deck, he happily returned within a couple days to redo the work. Responsible, and easy to work with."

"Bob Pino did an excellent job on multiple handyman tasks in my home. He responded quickly, was very knowledgeable, thorough, professional and skilled in the work done. He completed smaller tasks and efficiently repaired an entryway ceiling, with a second person assisting to get it done quickly. His workmanship was skilled and he did a great job with numerous small repairs, installed an under cabinet TV and patiently explained pros and cons of different repair options. I recommend him highly."

"My name is John and I have been a private homeowner for the past 35 years. I recently hired day and night painting and carpentry through home advisor to complete repairs and painting on my front porch veranda. Day and night painting and carpentry did a professional job. They completed the work on time. Their pricing was reasonable. And their customer service was excellent. I plan to ask them to return to complete additional work at my home. thank you homeadvisor."

"I hired JKN to rescreen my porch. I have an old colonial, and there were areas that needed additional work, which they performed flawlessly. I also needed the porch ceiling replaced. They recommended products for that project. Their expertise in their work. the demolition, their work and care to replace the screening and the ceiling was done in the time frame they promised. If any additional materials were needed, I was advised. The old screening and ceiling lumber were taken away for disposal, and the porch was swept and cleaned when they completed the work. Nice guys, too. That is also important to me. And they showed up when they said they would, or contacted me if there was a change in schedule. I am having them come back to do additional work. The price was reasonable. They were trustworthy and upfront about all phases of the work. I am over the moon with the end product and the quality of their work. I highly recommend JKN."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the deck refinishing process. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.

Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.

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.
