"Andy did an excellent job of cleaning 20 years of bottom paint off the bottom of my 21 foot fiberglass boat. Paint was removed to the boot stripe and there was no damage to the glass. The work was completed in my yard which was left clean with no residue. Great job"

"Justin is very thorough and professional. He took pictures of my skylight showing exactly what the problem was and fixed it the very next day in the midst of a snow shower. Additionally, he was prompt, very reassuring and his pricing is extremely fair. His communication was excellent and in today's world that is very hard to come by. It was a a very rewarding experience to work with someone who knows what they are doing, does it well, stands by their work and shows up on time. I will definitely hire him again and refer him to my fellow retired friends. Marysue in Portland, Maine"

"Tanner Homes installed our new kitchen cabinets and reinstalled some existing cabinets along with crown molding for all the upper cabinets. They took the necessary steps to tie them altogether seamlessly in perfect alignment. They also removed two small windows and installed three large windows facing the water that changed the entire feel of our lakehouse. Their window work also included trim and siding replacement . A SUPERB job!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

No, it isn’t necessary to skirt a deck, but investing in the cost to install deck skirting can bring more value to your home. Not only does deck skirting make the deck look more complete, but it can also turn otherwise unused space beneath the deck into useful storage space.
