"Mr. Sam Burns was a joy to work with.  I know nothing about home repair/maintenance and Mr. Burns was patient as can be, explaining  the steps and reasoning behind individual tasks.   When our project to paint the interior of the home, spruce up the kitchen with new counter tops and back splash and update a bathroom mushroomed into some must do home repairs (roof repair/replacement, ceiling and carpentry repair)  He presented me with various options to consider to address each "surprise" encountered.  He was mindful of costs and our bottom line thru the entire project.  Once a plan was agreed on,  the work went very smoothly.   His crew was professional, skilled, worked steady thru the day and they were exceedingly polite.   You will be in good hands if you select Mr. BurnsÂ"

"Russell was â  hands onâ  supervising the work, very courteous and straightforward and the work was done quickly and well. He also did some minor roof repairs on our second house and did it very well also. We will hire him in a heartbeat should we need any roofing work in the future."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to add an under-deck drainage system to an existing deck by retrofitting it to the structure. This process may require some prep work. For example, many drainage systems are installed on top of the deck joists, which would require you to remove the decking boards and railings first. To avoid this, you could opt for a below-the-joist drainage system. For best results and to ensure proper installation, it is recommended to consult a professional. A pro can inspect your deck, make any necessary repairs, and then install the drainage system correctly.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

Building a deck is often worth the investment, not only because it provides more utility to your yard and gives you more space to entertain but also because decks tend to add value to your home. Keep in mind that second-story decks often require concrete footings, which means they will bump up your property taxes, while decks built on the first story generally don’t require a permanent foundation and won’t affect your taxes. Even with the tax increase, decks are usually a good investment in the long run.

PVC decking can get slippery when wet because it’s made from plastic. However, composite and wood decking can also be slippery when wet. It’s best to wear shoes with grippy soles when walking on a wet deck, no matter the material, and to be extra cautious not to slip and fall down.

Yes. Freestanding or floating decks are exactly what the name implies—structures with their own support beams. You can build a deck yourself and place it next to a house for the illusion of a connected deck without the hassle. Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don’t have to cut the deck away from the home.
