"We just needed wooden gates put in next to the house to close off our backyard which already had three walls of fences installed. The gates look good but are heavy suckers and very sturdy, maybe a little overkill, definitely more heavy duty than we were expecting, but they also look like they will hold up for a very long time and we don’t worry about their durability. Our two main complaints would be that the gates are cut a little close to the ground so we scrap dirt in a few spots and you can see where they removed dirt to get it to swing open and that the nail/screws were not finished so they poke out into the backyard and we will have to find a way to prevent our young children from getting hurt on the sharp points. We loved the customer service and they were very communicative about weather restrictions and flexibility with scheduling giving very realistic expectations and letting us know why certain things got delayed. They did a okay job with social distancing during the pandemic."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Both composite and PVC decking are excellent alternatives to wood. However, while composite is moderately priced and lasts around 30 years, PVC costs more and lasts longer. PVC is also more durable, though both materials are more durable than wood decking. Ultimately, the choice between composite and PVC decking will come down to your budget and preferences.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. 

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

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.
