"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

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

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.

It depends on the type of wood. The average cost to build a deck out of pressure-treated lumber is $15 to $25 per square foot, but more affordable varieties such as bamboo and cedar cost less at around $3 to $10 per square foot. However, when comparing the cost of vinyl decking versus wood decking, it’s important to also consider ongoing maintenance costs. For example, most woods require regular sealing to keep them protected against weather and rot.

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.
