"Alex and his crew were all very professional. They removed an old 2 level porch/deck and upgraded it to a composite porch/deck. It looks amazing! They worked full days and got the job done really quickly while still paying attention to detail, and going above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I will absolutely call Mahoney Services again next time I need work done."

"Brian is mainly my motorcycle Mechanic. I have exchanged money for his services many times and want to express to others my experience with him. Brian is very careful with my cycle, will work with me and my schedule at my home and sometimes at his home. He works very carefully showing respect for my property, he works cleanly, and makes sure everything is correct. Brian then provides open communications where he explains everything he found, what to look for in the future, and verifies that I am happy with the work done. He works with the customers best interests in mind, and has always provided me with good and fair pricing. I realize that this is not a Hire a Handyman rating/review, but I want others to know that he has this skill, which may be useful for maintenance or repairs on bicycles, lawn mowers, snow blowers and any type of powered or mechanical yard equipment. If his Handyman Service work ethics are like his Mechanic business ethics, I believe that you will be very pleased."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.
