"Ryan was very polite, responsible and competent. He replaced a small chain link gate for a larger one, which meant cutting back fence to make a larger opening. The quality of his work was excellent and his price was very fair."

"Mr. Monteer removed a wall paper border that had been installed for several years. After the paper removal, he made drywall repairs and painted. The walls looked new when the job was finished. He was very careful to keep paint off my wood work, carpeting and furniture. He taped and covered everything to keep any from being damaged."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

Decks require several inspections during and after the building process, but the specifics vary depending on where you live. Most areas mandate that decks comply with local building codes and safety regulations for the foundation, framing, and structure. Some pros recommend a footing inspection, which verifies the depth, width, and location of the various footings to ensure they offer enough foundational support.

Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.
