"I highly recommend King Painting for all your household needs. He has worked for me the last 10 years on all my home repairs. He can do everything and is the perfect handyman/painter in my book. King Painting is always on call for carpentry, power washing and interior/exterior painting among many other things. If I need anything done to my home he always makes time and is quick along with efficient. I have lived locally and he is the most dependable person I have come across which is why I have stuck with him for nearly a decade. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"I called Steve the Handy Hubby on a Thursday with a somewhat of an emergency. The entry deck to the side entance of my rental home had rotted wood and needed repair pretty quick for safety reasons. Steve came and looked at it the same day, gave me an excellent price and came back the next day to do the job. Couldn't ask for anything more. Great experience!"

"So far it is going very well.  He called from the expressway to tell me he was 4 minutes away. He arrived ON TIME.  Got right to his work with his workers even tho he was a little incapacitated with a strained arm.  His workers went up on the roof and HE surveyed the newly replaced roof that caused all the stains that he was called to repair. Making sure no more water would enter before repairing damage.
The original contractor Superior Home Improvements failed  their contract in replacing  the old roof and installing new roof successfully.  NEVER CALL FOR THEIR SERVICES. LIARS, CHEATS, UNRELIABLE UNINSURED AND unreachable.
 Mr Brian Brill of Pride Painting and Spackling has  just that, PRIDE. !!.  I would and  will call him again for any other work needed here in our business.

"Preferred Choice Cleaning is outstanding. This is the second time I utilized Preferred and Brendan and Brandon did a phenomenal job: porch, pavers/slate, extensive PVC fencing around the property, shed, deck, patio furniture etc. Looks brand new! Professional, courteous, and the cost was very reasonable. On top of all this, a little while after the job was done, Angelo the owner called to ask how everything went. I highly recommend Preferred Choice…a company that knows quality and service."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The overhang, or nosing, of deck steps is another area that will be covered in building code requirements. The noses on your deck steps should have a minimum overhang of ¾ inch. For safety, usability, and code compliance, the nosing of deck steps should not extend past 1¼ inches.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Pressure-treated lumber is one of the most affordable types of decking upfront. This material is widely available, so you can usually find pressure-treated lumber at almost any local home improvement store you visit. Keep in mind that wood requires a lot of upkeep with repainting and restaining, so any kind of wood may be more expensive in the long run than something like PVC decking.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.
