"Hired G&R to fix up my deck, stain it, and paint a shed. The work involved replacing all of the horizontal hand rails, and tightening the floor boards. G&R stained the entire deck by hand (including the lattice work). Gave me a good price and stayed with that price. The deck was 35 years old, but you couldn't tell by looking at it now. My neighbor hired them to do some landscaping work after seeing them work on my property. Willie was easy to work with. Would definitely hired them again."

"We needed maintenance for our recently purchased home, which included cleanup of hedges, removal of dead and stray bushes, and mulch placed in all flower beds. The Services was quick, thorough, and professional. Formal contract signed in advance of work done. We will use them again. The only negative was the communication when actually trying to schedule the service."

"Raul and empire home improvement have done an excellent job on my cabinets, ceiling, painting and electrical work. They showed up as scheduled, gave quote in writing quickly, and arrived as promised and started working. I have tried few others but none compared to empire. The staff were polite and cleaned up after working. I did my research and this is the best renovation company in terms of quality of work, pricing, honesty and reliability. You will not be disappointed and will save yourself a lot of time, money and headaches with this company. Highly recommend."

"Juliano was very responsive and receptive of ideas I had for the project. The work done turned out the way I wanted and was able to do it within my price range. The only thing I would say needs improvement is the cleanup afterwards. There was more saw dust leftover than I anticipated. Regardless, I would recommend and would hire again for further projects."

Customers say: Quick response

"Overall Dino was a friendly and most importantly, knowledgeable handyman, who clearly deserves a 5 - star rating! All work was completed in an expeditious and effective manner. Dino installed 3 air conditioners, 2 solar post caps and completed several small jobs that needed repair. Suffice it to say I was very pleased with the quality of Dino s work. And his fee was fair. I highly recommend Dino to any individual in need of his services!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Work! We had Vargas Handyman & Home Improvements Inc. handle a major renovation project for our new brewery, Noble Experiment Brewing Company, and they exceeded every expectation from start to finish. Their team did everything — tile work, vinyl flooring, painting, deck repair — and every single job was done with precision, care, and pride. What really stood out was how easy they were to work with. Communication was always clear, they showed up when they said they would, and they finished everything on schedule. The attention to detail and craftsmanship were next-level — it’s rare to find a crew that’s both this skilled and this reliable. The transformation of our space is unbelievable, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a company that does top-quality work, stands by their word, and treats your project like their own, Vargas Handyman & Home Improvements is it. Highly recommended — they’re the real deal."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.

You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen. 

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.

Deck repairs cost around $800 to $3,500 . However, your cost depends on the type and severity of the repair, as well as the type of decking material you have. Other factors, like location and labor costs, impact the price, too. Boards and railings are the priciest parts of a deck to repair, while loose stairs are less expensive to fix.
