"All of my work with John was done over the phone including texted pictures. While phone only can be generally stressful, John went above and beyond in keeping me informed along the way. I appreciated his updates regarding his schedule (bumped EARLIER) and his detailed explanations with picture backup. He was also very budget conscious and suggested work that would help with the ongoing maintenance of the house and roof (which was also coated). I appreciated his color suggestions (I never would have picked a red roof, but I love it). It went from weathered, faded, semi-transparent olive green with a three toned green roof to solid gray with a red roof. I plan on using Professional Coatings again for future projects."

"Chris and his family did an amazing job replacing our awful front porch. His attention to detail was awesome. He used his router to detail every single plank making my deck look like a work of art. His son Hunter is such a hard worker and you can tell he has the same Passion as his dad for quality work. His wife Tiff and son Dillon were awesome too. This job was done in the most timely manner. They cleaned EVERYTHING up and were completely done in a day and a half. 100% they are my go to for all my home improvement needs. Hire them. You will Not be disappointed. So grateful to have found them"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, using sustainable materials and recycled composites offer green solutions.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

How long it takes to install composite decking depends on the size of the decking material, the skills of the person installing the deck, the number of people helping, and how much prep work needs to be done before you can begin. Generally speaking, it takes anywhere from a few days to several weeks to build a composite deck.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.
