My name is Brandon Taylor. I am a small business owner and looking forward to working with you. I have been in service for 2 years now under my own business but have worked in construction for 5 years. I have many years of experience under sub-contracting in a variety of trades. I started my business in 2015, however, before then I was working as a laborer and sub-contractor. I recently decided to branch out and perform my services under my own business and give my customers and clients the professional results they deserve. I take my work very serious and strive to be the best in every aspect of my business. You can find my business on several websites including Angies List and BuildZoom. These websites you can post your jobs and you can get a variety of quotes on the job and you (homeowner) get to choose who you want to complete your job. I also strongly encourage you to leave me reviews on my work and your satisfaction. One of the best marketing techniques is Word-of-Mouth and this will help your community trust a reliable professional as well as help me build my business as a small business owner. Thank you. Skilled labor isn't cheap and cheap labor isn't skilled!

Decks and Porches questions, answered by experts

Building codes typically require handrails if your porch is 30” or more off the ground. However, it's important to check your local regulations and building codes to make sure, as this can differ depending on your location. When in doubt, check with a local porch handrail pro, who will know the local codes and be able to get permits if any are required.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

PVC decking can get slippery when wet because it’s made from plastic. However, composite and wood decking can also be slippery when wet. It’s best to wear shoes with grippy soles when walking on a wet deck, no matter the material, and to be extra cautious not to slip and fall down.

Building codes vary by location, and you should always consult local codes before planning construction. Generally speaking, however, railing requirements stipulate that decks more than 30 inches off the ground need railings for safety purposes. These railings usually need to be at least 36 inches tall, although California and Washington require rails to be 42 inches or taller.

Start with a 60- or 80-grit sandpaper when sanding a deck, though this could change depending on the type of wood that comprises the deck and how smooth you want the overall finish. If you prioritize a smooth final finish, progress to a finer grit like 120 or 150. Avoid ultra-fine grits for traditional sanding, as it could close up the wood pores and make it harder to apply a finish down the line.
