"I couldn’t be more impressed with the work done by this handyman. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and incredibly skilled. Every task was completed with precision and pride, and the quality of his craftsmanship truly stands out. What I appreciated most was his attention to detail he didn’t just fix the problem, he made sure everything looked clean, sturdy, and better than before. He showed up on time, communicated clearly, and treated my home with respect. If you’re looking for someone who does outstanding work and genuinely cares about getting it right, he’s the one you want. Highly recommended."

"I was really in a bind since the men I hired to cut the grass did not come back and did not respond to repeated messages. I talked with Trinity Tuesday afternoon, and the next day Trinity called me with a quote and also was able to get his crew that same day to cut my yard ! The customer service is great, and I look forward to having them for my grass cutting and yard maintenance!!!!"

"Bought his coupon deal on Angie's list. Did superb work, cleaned up completely and all for a very reasonable price. But it took 2 or 3 days due to him showing up later in day and working late into evening whereas a crew would have been done in one day. Overall, outstanding work at a reasonable price and would hire again but only for small scale projects since he works by himself."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface 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 essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

It depends on the type of wood. The average cost to build a deck out of pressure-treated lumber is $15 to $25 per square foot, but more affordable varieties such as bamboo and cedar cost less at around $3 to $10 per square foot. However, when comparing the cost of vinyl decking versus wood decking, it’s important to also consider ongoing maintenance costs. For example, most woods require regular sealing to keep them protected against weather and rot.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

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.

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.
