"It was a true pleasure dealing with Chris F. He did some work for us to make our house more handicap accessible and it immediately has made a huge difference in our lives. While he was here we added a couple more general tasks that have been on my "honey-do" list forever. He was very flexible and quick to fix the extra items. He did a fabulous job on everything, we are so happy. His pricing was very very reasonable. I am already accumulating my next "Chis please fix this" list I'd like him to do around the house and yard. I would highly recommend him for other people to hire for small to large projects."

"Frank and his Team built a beautiful composite deck with integrated lighting. We were under a dead line to have the deck completed for a family event and they delivered on time with an amazing finished product!! All our guests and neighbors were complementing us on the deck. A night when the lights go on it really sets off the back yard of our home. Thanks Frank! You have some highly skilled Team members!!"

"Mike Concheck from MDG Maintenance repaired our roof and then fixed the ceiling where the roof leak had left damage. He did a great job on both projects, finishing in one day. We have called MDG Maintenance twice now, and both times we have been very pleased with the workmanship and professionalism of the service contractors. What a relief it is as a homeowner to be able to call upon a reliable company to do those jobs we cannot do ourselves."

"Perhaps the most important thing to know is that the deck project completed by Specialscapes was the second project for which Jay was hired. The first being last year as we were quite happy with the work and the manner in which Jay and his crew conduct themselves."

"The work consisted of repairing a stress crack running down the length of my living room ceiling and repainting a bedroom which included removing a wallpaper border at the ceiling. The living room ceiling is textured which required fixing the crack, re-texturing the entire ceiling and repainting. John Garrity explained my options and him and his crew did exceptional work. They were punctual, kept me updated along the way and cleaned up everything when done. In addition, a last minute job was hanging a ceiling fan in the painted bedroom which was not part of the initial work. I would definitely hire them again."

"We were very impressed with Pro Builders LLC and the deck project they recently did for us. Abe was responsive, quoted us fairly on converting our wood deck to composite, and followed up immediately to any calls or questions we had. My wife wasnâ t available when Abe came to quote the job, so he agreed - without hesitation - to return on a different day so she could be included in the planning. As the project got underway, we thought of some modifications we hadnâ t considered previously, including teardown/rebuild of a second deck. Abe provided feedback, made suggestions and spoke honestly about the scope. We agreed on a fair price for the changes, including the second deck, and he and his team quickly moved forward. We highly recommend Pro Builders LLC. Abe and his team have a remarkable work ethic and they are experienced in many types of projects â including painting and flooring. We expect we will be contacting him for other projects that arise!"

Deck Repair FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

PVC decking might be long-lasting, but this synthetic material lacks​​ the natural aesthetic or sustainability of wood decking. If you want to match your decking to your new garden furniture or just freshen up the faded surface, it’s not usually possible to paint PVC decking. When comparing PVC to composite decking, PVC is pricier and more prone to warping in hot regions.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.
