"Very professional. He responded quickly with a call. Came out to review job, sent a very detailed estimate. Called, and showed up when he said he would. Did a great job, of cleaning deck, repaired and replaced some steps, then painted the deck. Came back a couple days later, returned everything back on the deck. Very polite!!! I would highly recommend him."

"The project started as we suspected a leak in on of the bathroom bathroom. I Selected Jent's Handyman Services through Angie's list as they had good reviews. Jesse, the owner, stopped-by within a couple of days to discuss the work. At first, Jesse provided a general work description but for my satisfaction, I worked with him through emails & SMS to finalize requirements and get an itemized quote. The work was don in three phases. First, shower system, painting and floor tiles were installed in one bathroom. Second, one small half-bath was fully remodeled. Lastly, granite vanity top was replaced in the first bathroom. Between the work, a number of other small tasks were completed such as installing mail box, weatherization, door painting, installing two external lights & looking at the Lazy Susan, etc. There were three people team who worked the first task (two days) and two persons for the next two, taking a full day for each. 
Jesse & his teams were courteous and worked diligently. Working out details & selecting parts before getting a quote from Jent's was helpful in speeding up the work and knowing the expense. I will be using Jent's Handyman Service again in the near future.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

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.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.
