"The owner Eric was great and always kept me up-to-date on the project timeline (I was painting my deck and obviously it was dependent on weather). He was very professional, and his two painters Edgar and Diego were wonderful. They were very thorough and the deck looks like new! Thank you Red, White and Blue painting!!"

"I discovered Rick's Handyman by posting on Nextdoor Neighborhood website looking some someone to clean gutters. He responded and cam out the same day to give us an estimate. We ended up using him to not only clean our very clogged home gutters but also to power-wash/clean our patio which had very dirty dark pavers with algae/moss growing on and in between the stones. He did both jobs extremely well. Everything now looks great out back and our gutters worked properly in recent heavy rain. Rick is a nice guy to do business with, did great work for us, was reliable, and charged us a fair price for his services. We are likely to reach out to him for miscellaneous other handyman jobs we need done! Thanks."

"They did great work. I asked Mike to submit an estimate to my email so I could send it to my home owners insurance, which he did the same day. I also appreciated that they took care to keep the area being worked on contained from the rest of the room. No clean up or dust created by them. I will definitely use them again."

They were knowledgeable, reasonably priced, showed up early, and made sure I was happy before they left. If you want your house to be cleaned by a true professional, this is your guy!"

"Jose is a great guy. However, his crew rushed through my home and missed a lot of drywall repairs that we discussed ahead of the painting. I wound up touching them up myself. I also asked Jose to have his crew remove any outlet and switch covers before painting. Some they did and some they didn't. Again, while replacing covers, I needed to touch up their paint work. After spending several thousands of dollars, I don't want to be bothered with going back over the contractor's work."

"Devoted young man starting out his business. Gave him a shot to level my subfloor and install vinyl planks throughout my entire first floor and he crushed it. He’s on time with realistic timelines. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jay to anyone wanting flooring installed in their home."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor who builds decks for advice.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

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.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation.
