"Darren completed the work within two days after giving us an estimate and reviewing the materials to be used. He was professional and finished the job in the timeframe anticipated. The porch deck fits beautifully into the design of the house. We are really pleased with the results."

"Shawn came to work on my washing machine that wasn’t operating. When the first repair didn’t fix the problem, he did more research and came back with another part that fixed the problem. I appreciate his communication about scheduling and about ordering necessary parts. I appreciate his commitment to solving the problem. And, I appreciate his work ethic. I would recommend Shawn to anyone in need of handyman type repair."

"G Pinter Construction turned a very rundown challenging outside space into something to make me proud of my home. They took a flat old leaking deck that had been covered with tarps for years, into a water tight grearge roof and private living space. They always showed when they said they were going coming. Very easy to communicate with and respect of my space. I plan on using them for future projects. Only wish I had better before pictures to show you all. Thanks guys!!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Composite decking requires a solid foundation or substructure for support. This base is typically a frame composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame can be built from various materials, such as composite, plastic, timber, or metal, depending on your budget, deck type, and environmental conditions. For maximum stability, a professional deck builder may recommend installing this frame on top of a solid concrete base. It is best to discuss the most suitable substructure design and materials for your specific project with a professional.

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.

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.
