"Ashley and her team at Coastal Finish are truly exceptional. Iâ ve hired them for a number of services at my cottage: interior/exterior painting, as well as power washing and staining of my exterior deck. Ashley is prompt, highly communicative and the quality of work is unbeatable. I really appreciate how the team takes a personal interest in ensuring all jobs are done with the upmost care and attention to detail. Coastal Finish differentiates themselves through customer service and quality in work. They show up when they say theyâ re going to, are very fair in their assessment and pricing, and will go the extra mile to ensure the job is done beautifully, timely and to complete satisfaction. I wish all service providers delivered like Coastal Finish!"

"We hired MWG II Handyman Services for a few home updates after purchasing our house.They replaced our outdated floors with LVP, painted our entire first floor and put a tile backsplash throughout our kitchen. They did a great job and gave our house a much needed update. Everything looks amazing and they were very professional. We have very high ceilings that they were able to do without any problem and each project went smoothly. You can tell they take pride in their work and want to do a good job. We will be using them for any future updates we need."

"He gave me a quote and did exactly what he said he was going to do. He was clear about to procedure and what he needed to do. It was nice and clean after the service, I didn't have to do any touch ups or clean ups. I was so happy with the results, I hired him to complete resurface my driveway."

"Andrew did a addition on a second home. I wasn't able to be there while they did the work. They did an awesome job with the entire project. I showed up when they were done and couldn't tell they had been there except for the new room."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

Pressure-treated lumber is one of the most affordable types of decking upfront. This material is widely available, so you can usually find pressure-treated lumber at almost any local home improvement store you visit. Keep in mind that wood requires a lot of upkeep with repainting and restaining, so any kind of wood may be more expensive in the long run than something like PVC decking.

Many composite decking manufacturers, including the popular Trex brand, offer warranties that protect against warping under specific conditions. These warranties typically last between 20 and 50 years, but they usually exclude claims related to improper installation of the product. Some manufacturer warranties only cover decks built by certified professionals.

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.
