"Excellent work on multiple projects. The deck was the biggest job and it turned out great! They also help me to match the existing old siding to do some major repair work on the exterior of my 1950’s home and framed out a screen porch. Highly recommend."

"Communication and scheduling with Will was excellent. He was very responsive and knowledgeable about the repairs I needed. He repaired the outside deck and replaced deck joists that were damaged, as well as replacing closet shelving and repairing damaged sheetrock. I will definitely be contacting him again for future home repairs!"

Hello. I’m 50 years old. I’ve been doing handyman work since I was a young man. Spent most of my life in Maine where I did everything from jacking and leveling camps, interior and exterior remodeling, roof repairs, etc. all while working full time as a structural and miscellaneous steel fabricator, welder and installations. I spent the last 15 years in S. Fl. where I was lead installation manager where we designed, installed and serviced Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems. Also doing residential and commercial building remodeling in my spare time. I have an eye for detail and very good at problem solving. I appreciate every opportunity I get to help people’s needs or dreams come to reality.\nI don’t make excuses. I make it work.

"I highly recommend Carlos and his crew! They removed not one but two layers of wallpaper. Repaired the walls where needed, removed the chair rail and painted my entire dinning room. It looks stunning! They are fast, efficient, reasonable and do a fantastic job. I’ve already got them scheduled to come back to do another job for us."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

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.

To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it’s important to keep this area dry and clean. One way to prevent the area from becoming too wet is to install an under-deck draining system. This affordable home upgrade channels water away from the deck and provides usable space for storage or a functional area below a second-story deck. Not only will this be a useful maintenance upgrade, it can boost your home’s property value.

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.

A quality, well-maintained PVC decking can last 30 to 50 years. It’s known for being one of the most durable types of decking materials, with composite decking having a 25- to 30-year average lifespan and some softwood deckings only lasting 10 to 15 years. Luxury hardwood decks like Ipe may last longer than PVC decking, but they can cost more and require more maintenance.
