"These guys did an amazing job of putting on a new railing on my deck. It replaced the old. They were careful and found areas that needed correction and was very good at communicating thru out the entire job. Excellent work, and customer service. Reasonably priced. Will be using them again in the future."

"Rick is conscientious, thorough and easy to talk things over. I needed plumbing help asap and he responded and was here pronto. Reasonably priced. A rarity. Rick said to me, & I repaired this like I would in my own house. Is there anything else you could possibly ask of someone ? For me, that said it all."

"Nothing to prevent me from asking for their help again. Gerald was very professional, no timewasting at all. As it turned out the issue I had contacted Handyman Pro about was about a delivery person who despite his advancing age, didn't seem to have a clue about plumbing and cost me a plumbing bill. I contacted Handyman Pro to check it out. The problem the delivery man was whining about, didn't exist. Fortunately Gerald was able to repair a bad faucet in a shower. Thanks again."

"Mark and his crew did an awesome job in replacing a few decking boards, rails and spindles on out 20 year old deck. They also power washed and stained/sealed the entire deck. Mark is a very good man who takes pride in his work and is a great communicator. MHK will be first on my list to call for my next project."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor 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 crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

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.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.

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.
