"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

Composite decking requires a solid foundation or substructure for support. This base is typically a frame composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame can be built from various materials, such as composite, plastic, timber, or metal, depending on your budget, deck type, and environmental conditions. For maximum stability, a professional deck builder may recommend installing this frame on top of a solid concrete base. It is best to discuss the most suitable substructure design and materials for your specific project with a professional.

PVC decking tends to be cooler than composite because the material is less dense and absorbs less heat. However, it depends on the deck’s color. A dark-colored PVC deck may run hotter than a light-colored composite deck. If you’re concerned about your deck getting too hot, it’s best to stick to a light color such as beige or gray.

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.
