"Aldo and his crew were an amazing handyman team. They replaced and treated our walls that had rain damage. They also painted the walls and matched the color perfectly. They fixed the leaking faucet and replaced the wood under the sink. In addition, they replaced the doors and replaced the water heater. This was all done in a timely manner and was efficient. I am very happy with the work done by Aldo and his team."

"Our very old garage floor needed to be updated and we called iPaint for an estimate. The owner Nick came on time and recommended a new type of coating by Penntek far more durable and attractive than your typical epoxy. The cost is higher than epoxy but we think it's worth every penny - the garage now looks incredible and is easy to clean as well. Nick's crew was professional and did an excellent job quickly. They also painted the walls and ceiling. Overall the entire experience was very positive and we highly recommend the company."

"The new lighting works perfectly and looks great. It was a father-son team; they worked steadily from 9-1:00. Sometimes I found communication awkward, not for these jobs but for trying to assess how I can best use them in the future. They don't have any printed material or business cards. Excellent for homeowners who know what they want done; the promotion was a great price but otherwise I wouldn't use them for things I could do myself."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

No, it isn’t necessary to skirt a deck, but investing in the cost to install deck skirting can bring more value to your home. Not only does deck skirting make the deck look more complete, but it can also turn otherwise unused space beneath the deck into useful storage space.

The problems with composite decking include a high rate of expansion and contraction from temperature swings. This characteristic can cause boards to split, delaminate, or peel. In addition, significant movement can cause shrinking, warping, twisting, and bending. For this reason, you should minimize moisture and ensure proper airflow below your deck.

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.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

Pavers are a great decking option for pools. They’re customizable, come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures, materials, and price points, and they’re slip-resistant. Concrete pool decks, on the other hand, are harder to repair and replace if damaged and aren’t as slip-resistant as most paver materials. However, not all pavers are equal in terms of durability, maintenance, and performance. Pavers also have their own cons that may encourage homeowners to opt for stamped concrete instead, such as higher upfront costs.
