"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."

"I was contacted in a timely manner and Mr. Aponte made an appointment to look at the job and give me an estimate. He was prompt and professional. We agreed upon a price and Mr. Aponte completed the work in a reasonable amount of time and at the quoted price. The work was done in the manner described to me and the finished product was what I expected it to look like. My porch railings and new column were strong, square, and level. I would highly recommend Aponte Contracting. S. Otero"

"Matt came out the day after we talked. The project was to rebuild an older deck and to replace a retaining wall around the pool. He sent the quote within a couple of days, followed up with me to answer any questions and we tentatively scheduled the work for the middle of August. He came out the end of July and started on the deck. He used the existing framework, but had to make a number of adjustments to ensure the integrity and stability of the new deck. At the end of the first day the deck planks were installed and the structure was solid as a rock. The second day he and his partner went to work on the retaining wall. They took out the old one, dug a deeper and wider trench for the new one, added and compacted the stone dust base and proceeded to build the wall. They used the dirt that they removed to level out the area around my shed and behind the pool. On the final day they capped the blocks, added finishing touches to the retaining wall, and finished the stairs on the deck. All in all Matt and Mario did a phenomenal job and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Unfortunately, the new lower deck makes the older upper deck look even shabbier than it did. After pool season, I will be calling Matt to come and replace that deck too."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

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.

Finding a reputable deck builder should start with speaking with a local company and asking for samples of past work and references. You can review the company’s workmanship and speak with past customers to learn what the customer service was like throughout the process. It’s also a good idea to read online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to see if the company has a history of customer complaints. If you can get a referral from a family member or friend, that’s another great option.
