"Gary was excellent. His workmanship was great, he was thorough and took pride in good work. He was responsive in communicating, he was honest and transparent, and he was polite and considerate throughout. He charged a fair price for his work. He made logical suggestions for improving the scope of the project but also deferred to our final decisions. Planning to use him again next year on the next phase of this deck improvement project."

"John was prompt in reaching out after I post the request on Angie’s. He was able to get Sean out to help us the day after, which was much faster than I was anticipating. Sean arrived right on time in the morning and he did a great job in repairing the drywall. He was also very professional and courteous while doing the work. He also was able to find the right paint color to paint over the repair despite the fact that I pointed him to the wrong color shade. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the quality and speed of the work and I will contact All Aspect again should other drywall or painting issues appear."

"They did a good job, except the young lady that worked with him wasn't very tidy and didn't clean up well. She did a good job and got the varnish off. I liked the young man's work. They should be more cautious about cleaning up behind themselves. As far as the work was concerned, they did a good job. They did exactly what I wanted them to do, so it was a fair price. They were here at the time they were supposed to be."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

A deck is typically attached to a house and accessed via the back door. Decks are usually constructed from wood or composite materials. A terrace, on the other hand, is a raised platform that can be attached to or detached from the house and is typically made from a hard-paved material, such as paving stones. Terraces can be built on the ground or on the roof of a home.

The most likely causes of a deck leaning to one side are damaged deck posts, soil erosion, and inadequate deck footings. If you’re not sure about the exact cause, the best option is to call a contractor who can build a deck to inspect the damage and recommend the best way forward.
