"Roy took on a large size job at our house. He and the crew hand skim coated, sanded, primed, sanded, primed and painted almost 80% of our home in 10 days! Roy and his team were professional, and worked late hours to overcome any obstacle they faced. The walls were beautifully painted, and my wife and I could not be happy with the amazing effort, and result in our home. Roy's team sanded and painted, and re-sanded an painted until every wall was perfect. Even areas that my wife and I though looked great were redone if they did not meet Roy's standards. Roy and his crew were incredible to have work for us, provided outstanding customer service, and left us with an end result that was BEAUTIFUL! I cannot recommend Roy and his team enough for any painting and skim coating job you may have. Roy is a stand up guy, does what he says he will do, overcomes any obstacles he meets and leaves the job with a beautiful finished product. Incredible value and quality!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, adding railing to a deck is a great way to improve safety and your home’s aesthetic appeal. Railings can be constructed from wood, metal, or composite, and there are plenty of choices regarding design and style. Always consult local building codes before starting any building project—there are often requirements regarding spacing and height that can differ slightly from place to place.

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.

The best material for your deck depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it’s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.
