"Javier and his team were great. He came out and gave me a estimate, I had a lot of questions and concerns about what was best and he answered all of them told me the difference and even gave me samples to make sure I was going to love it. His team was great from start finish every single worker was on time and was polite. They moved my furniture and returned it where I wanted it with no problems and they handled my stuff delicately and not a lot of people do which I liked. Everyday before the they Javier would make sure I?m under the process he is going through and reminding to trust the process and I?m so glad I did.! I?m so happy with my floors it?s everything I was looking for and so much more.! Needless to say he?s going to be starting my new deck in a couple weeks .! Highly recommend.!!"

"Adrian did beautiful custom finish carpentry in my home, including wood closet shelves, a built-in kitchen shelving unit, and a tongue-and-groove kitchen backsplash with a shelf. He built everything to my specifications and completed the painting with a smooth, cabinet-quality finish. What stands out most is his attention to detail and genuine desire to get the design right. He listens carefully, is easy to work with, and takes pride in making his customers happy. Although English is his second language, communication was never an obstacle; he and his son are happy to work together to ensure everything is understood. With a fully equipped workshop and the skills to bring custom designs to life, Adrian is someone I would highly recommend for finish carpentry."

"It was okay. They were kind of messy. I had to do a lot of cleaning up after them. They were doing a lot of patching so they did a good job matching the existing texture and so on. I think there were 2 guys who came and they got to work and did the work."

"Rick's weekend rate was half the price of some Santa Fe plumbers' weekday rates, and he did a great job. I particularly liked that how carefully he kept track of a multi-step disassembly procedure on our washer, so that reassembling it went just as smoothly. Turned out the bellows/rubber gasket was not damaged, so he was able to rehook the spring that had been jarred loose by an overload, and refit the bellows, and we can return the part we bought. Definitely will use him for other appliance and general handyman needs!"

Deck Maintenance FAQs, answered by experts

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

PVC decking tends to be cooler than composite because the material is less dense and absorbs less heat. However, it depends on the deck’s color. A dark-colored PVC deck may run hotter than a light-colored composite deck. If you’re concerned about your deck getting too hot, it’s best to stick to a light color such as beige or gray.

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.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

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.
