"I had a literal “garden” growing in my gutters. Nate explained everything he would do and the solution he uses. I also had a whole house cleaning. Including garage and deck. The results are amazing. He was prompt and efficient. Will use his services again and strongly recommend."

"Installed new clapboards after removing broken ones. Reworked gutters to function better; installed gutter guards also. Installed new porch lights, custom fitting to shingle shacks so as to not allow leakage into junction box behind the lights. He is an arborist as well as a fine carpenter and technician. He took off the top 25 feet of a damaged pine tree safely and professionally. He will be back to install tongue and groove inside sheathing in a custom built shed. Excellent craftsperson! Very knowledgeable about a variety of building and renovation processes."

"Robert C I live in Brook Farm Edge RD Westbrook Maine crystal recommended Innovative construction. I went over to Crystal’s house and looked at the project that he was doing for her he went above and beyond for her. There was never no signs of any alcohol abuse or drugs on my job. I feel bad for the company because what is she is stating is not true. I seen the job after it was finished and looked amazing. And also said he installed the trim for free for her I was very impressed by his work. I can’t believe Crystal is putting this about him.They did excellent work for me. I would highly recommend them. I was on his home advisor account, looking at his reviews and noticed what she said. This is unbelievable. I did read his comment to address the situation. In crystals review. I just want to clarify that he did great work for us. Thank you."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

For a 12x20-foot (240-square-foot) deck, you can expect to pay between $7,200 and $14,400. This cost is based on a general price of $30 to $60 per square foot. The final price will depend on factors such as the decking material, design complexity, deck type, location, and local labor costs. Keep in mind that add-ons will increase the total; for example, adding an under-deck drainage system to a deck of this size could cost an additional $7,700.

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

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.

A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.

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.
