"He came up with a better idea than I had, he added more support anchors and screws. He was very easy going and polite. Very neat, cleaned up after and he replaced and exterior thermostat that was attached to the old part of the deck. I would hire Eddi again."

"Exceptional Contractor for Comprehensive Home Improvement: I recently had the pleasure of working with Claudio and his team for a variety of home improvement projects, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. Initially hired for deck replacement, I was immediately impressed with the quality of their work. This positive experience led me to engage their services for additional projects, including windows and doors replacement, installation of leaf guards for gutters, repairing a leaking roof, fixing the chimney, addressing exterior damage caused by a previous contractor's negligence, replacing shingles, power-washing the house, and painting the exterior. What sets Claudio apart is not just the breadth of services offered but the consistent excellence in each. His carpentry skills are top-notch, evident in the meticulous work on my deck and other wooden structures. Moreover, his reliability and honesty make the entire process stress-free. The pricing is fair, especially considering the wide range of skills he brings to the table. Claudio truly is a man of all trades. Having someone with such diverse skills has been a game-changer for me. I no longer need to juggle multiple contractors for different tasks; he can handle it all. If you're looking for a reliable, honest, and multi-talented professional for your home improvement needs, Claudio is the person for the job. I highly recommend his services and will undoubtedly turn to him for any future projects."

"It was a small deck to the back door rotted out and needed to be replaced. I kept a good eye on them and complained a lot. It was April fools day. when I paid for the new deck, I said April fools. They did a great job for the money . It came out great and i am very happy with a solid safe back deck. It was raining when they started and cold but it was finished very fast. The rain stopped mid morning and in just a few hours I had a new deck."

"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."

"A very friendly and efficient company. Brad (the owner) was on the job every day making sure everything was going smoothly and answering any questions. Absolutely no surprises, all work was done as promised and on time. Carpentry issues were discussed with us and resolved quickly. After painting was completed in early June we had the carpenters back to rebuild our deck and were again extremely happy with the results. I would highly recommend this company and have already."

We will definitely be using him for repairs in the future."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.

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.
