"We hired Steffin to fill in the big puddles forming in our long dirt driveway. He came to our home very quickly to provide us a quote, and had the job scheduled less than a week out. I only received quotes from Steffin and Jensen's, and Steffin's quote was much more reasonable for our budget. On the day for the work to be done, he and his assistant Matt came out and worked efficiently through the morning and early afternoon. By 3pm we had new gravel installed on our driveway and he even let me and my 1-year old son sit on his tractor for a photo op. The work was done about a month ago and I waited to post the review to see how the dirt settled, literally. Now, even after a heavy rain, there are minimal puddles. A huge improvement compared to the "pond" that had previously been forming at the end of the driveway. Steffin and Matt were a wealth of knowledge with lots of experience. I was able to get quite a few general other questions answered about home repair while they were here. They also did some work on our sliding door so I can close it again without having to lift it, much appreciated! I'd recommend this business for gravel work and any other handyman needs. The only thing I would have done differently is perhaps choose a smaller gravel size for the driveway as the ones we used are difficult for our toddler to ride his bike over."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

The problems with composite decking include a high rate of expansion and contraction from temperature swings. This characteristic can cause boards to split, delaminate, or peel. In addition, significant movement can cause shrinking, warping, twisting, and bending. For this reason, you should minimize moisture and ensure proper airflow below your deck.

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.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface 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 essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

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.
