"Tony did an excellent job repairing my porch! He was professional, arrived on time, and paid great attention to detail. The quality of his work exceeded my expectations, and the porch looks sturdy and looks great again. He was friendly, efficient, and cleaned up everything before he left. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable handyman. I’ll definitely be calling him again for future projects!"

"I am very pleased with SKM maintenance who showed me what they were made of when things got tight. Professionalism, Proficiency and Efficiency. I knew I had a tight deadline to meet. My deck was scheduled for staining at the end of the week but had structural damage that needed repair. From the moment I spoke to Linda the office manager, I was hopeful as she set the tone of the company and pleasantly gave me a brief outline of the process of getting an estimation. Within a day, Doug, one of the owners, was at my home evaluating the deck. I was impressed when he pointed out a few areas that needed to be corrected (that I didn’t recognize) and offered some solid suggestions. Furthermore, when I mentioned “the deadline “he didn’t flinch and stated they had an ample workforce…. Hmm. Once he left, I had a detailed written estimate with a very reasonable price!! But then life hits…. The next day scheduled for the repair to begin, it rained. Unfortunately, the day after that the repair person had a family emergency and couldn’t come. That’s when the calls started coming from Linda and Doug and arrangements were being made and within an hour another person was coming out to do the repair. Although it was cloudy … Paul showed up and said let’s see what happens…. He made his assessment, discussed the plan with me, went and picked up the material and within a couple of hours my deck was brand new!!! SKM Maintenance proved to be such an exemplary service provider, offering an experience that left me completely satisfied. Their ability to manage unforeseen obstacles reflected their commitment to client care, and their attention to detail transformed my deck into a space that feels brand new. The skills and professionalism shown by all the staff of SKM were impressive, such that I have already initiated a second project Thank you SKM!!"

"Built to Last Construction was recommended to my husband and me by his brother. They remodeled my bother-in law's kitchen and built him a beautiful deck, which is featured on their website at https://www.b2lconstruction.com. We hired them to remodel our kitchen. It turned out beautiful. Tom even built pull out drawers for my cupboard panty and added a heat vent along the floor. The extra time and detail they took to get it just right was amazing. I recommended them to a friend who is keeping them busy with projects at her home. My friend recommended them to someone else who has had a hard time finding someone to update her deck. She will not be disappointed."

"Levon Yaldo did an excellent job patching damaged wall board and then sanding it. He was meticulous about his work as well as the cleanup after completion of patching. Cost of work was reasonable. I would highly recommend him for future projects."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.
