"I had an emergency which was a small but urgent job. The problem was an unsafe situation and I chose Mr. Handyman because of the excellent reviews. I had a very pleasant conversation with the owner who was upfront about the cost which i very much appreciated. At the last minute, I was able to solve the issue and had to cancel my Mr. Handyman appointment. I called and spoke with the owner again and he was very gracious about the cancellation which was a surprise as he likely already had his guys on the way. I highly recommend Mr. Handyman."

"Decor is the most professional, superb, easy-to-work-with, thorough, and excellent contractor I have ever hired for any reason. We had our whole first floor completed sanded, refinished, and asked for multiple coats of polly (have dogs). Not only did they accommodate this but we were able to live in another part of the house (and partially camping) while the work was going on. There was ZERO dust, as they use a dustless system. The mirrors on the walls; even with heavy sanding - NO dust at all. They are the model for how this work should be done. Marcelo also painted trim on our stairs and elsewhere (for no extra charge) which was above and beyond what he needed to do. He was always on time, professional, courteous, cleaned up every day. I would hire him again totally and put full trust in him. Look no further! Decor is the best."

"All work was outdoors. I waited for sun, rain and so far the little snow we have had to rate as excellent. They also came up with a novel way of solving an outdoor water flow problem. Service: a little problem in getting timing to mesh."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

It depends on the type of wood. The average cost to build a deck out of pressure-treated lumber is $15 to $25 per square foot, but more affordable varieties such as bamboo and cedar cost less at around $3 to $10 per square foot. However, when comparing the cost of vinyl decking versus wood decking, it’s important to also consider ongoing maintenance costs. For example, most woods require regular sealing to keep them protected against weather and rot.

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.

Materials for a second-story deck must be weather- and rot-resistant, though the specific choices will largely be determined by your budget and style preference. Pressure-treated wood is on the lower end of the price scale, but it can be customized and stained the way you like it. Composite, on the other hand, is pricier for installation and has fewer options for customization, but you’ll save money and time in the long run because it requires little maintenance.
