"Jorge and his team are wonderful. Very professional and honest . Very respectful of your property and go above and beyond. I had two issues.I had flooding issues in my back yard and they put a drain in now I do not worry anymore about my basement flooding. I needed to redo my front steps. They put down beautiful pavers and rebuilt my steps. I love pulling into my driveway now my home looks so welcoming. Jorge and his team work hard to get the job done right and itâ  s shows in their work. I would recommend them very highly so much I asked them to come back and do another job. Jorge was very accommodating and did another well done job."

"John is punctual and listens carefully to the client, making sure that the job is handled to his or her's specifications. He handled these jobs with the same attention that he has given to the larger projects he has worked on for me. Everything came out fine and I intend on hiring him for any additional handyman projects I might have in the future."

"Randy has been doing work in my home for 15 years.Randy has selected colors for me when I’m not sure what would look best and he knows his colors. I am very picky and Randy’s work is perfect every time. I would never even think of calling another painter because there is no one that can compare to RG Painting. They do amazing work and are professional in every way. It is apparent that Randy and his crew take pride in their work because it shows in every job they do. I only recommend RG Painting to friends and family. Every job is done to perfection."

"Kris remodeled 2 bathrooms and a living room in a house we were trying to sell. We had no offers before the remodel, and it sold quickly after the work he did. One of the bathrooms was a complete tear-down, replacing the walls, wainscoting, fixtures, floor and everything. He did a very good job, and we never could have sold the house without his work."

"Wonderful experience! He was always professional and very pleasant. He fixed, repaired, installed and improved so many things in my house that had been waiting for years for someone like him. My house is an antique school house with plenty of quirks, but Harold was never a nay-sayer like so many handymen. He respected the homeowner's ideas, and knew how to make things work. He did everything with a smile and never stressed. I will always appreciate the improvements, and will hire Harold whenever I need cosmetic or remodeling work."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to build a pergola on an existing deck. All you need to do is attach the pergola support beams to the deck’s joists and build up from there. Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.
