"Jeorge rewired the entire house to code, replaced cabinets and counter tops in the kitchen, plumbing and other smaller jobs around the house. He did a great job and I really appreciated the fact that he always kept in touch, to give me updates on how the job was progressing. I was not living at the house at the time and I totally trusted him to show up and get the job done. He also took out his own time to explain things and to make sure I knew what was expected of him. His prices were very fair and I highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again."

"Derek was willing to come out to my house during a tropical downpour to clean out my gutters and downspout. He was prompt, and professional. Derek took videos and photos to show me the rain gushing over my gutter and out of the elbow of my down spout. He also showed me photos of the gutter and downspout after he cleaned them out. I would definitely hire him again"

"I called them and set an appointment for the following day. Guy, the owner, came ontime, was courteous, found and fixed the roof leak, and charged a reasonable service fee. He noticed some work that should be done on the chimneys (2) and made arrangements to come another day to fix them. I was impressed with Guy and his knowledge of home construction and repair. I plan to call him for any future work. Thanks for a job well done."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

PVC decking tends to be cooler than composite because the material is less dense and absorbs less heat. However, it depends on the deck’s color. A dark-colored PVC deck may run hotter than a light-colored composite deck. If you’re concerned about your deck getting too hot, it’s best to stick to a light color such as beige or gray.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Yes. Freestanding or floating decks are exactly what the name implies—structures with their own support beams. You can build a deck yourself and place it next to a house for the illusion of a connected deck without the hassle. Or you can construct it in a separate part of your yard for a dedicated outdoor entertainment space. For the purpose of removing a freestanding deck, the steps are the same as an attached deck, but you don’t have to cut the deck away from the home.
