"Chris with Friesen Family Renovations, LLC was very professional and thorough in the work he has completed. He installed a new screen door, replaced my tub stem and faucet, repaired my subfloor in the kitchen and installed brand new LVP flooring to replace old and water damaged flooring. He also mounted a television for me, and did some drywall repairs as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and dependable work!"

"This was the only contractor who agreed to do this small job this late in the summer season. He arrived on time, repaired the garage, fixed roof that was coming off, used good Sherwin Williams paint, and re-hung gutter that had fallen off. The job was completed in time stated and the garage looks good again."

"I hired Paul to fix my father's deck. I needed it done in a timely manner, because my father had passed. We needed to get the house on the market. Paul worked a lot of hours to ensure that the deck was done in a timely manner, but also properly. He did an outstanding job. The deck looks wonderful and I can feel good about selling the house. I would highly recommend him."

"The House Doctors LLC were great to work with! They replaced the old wooden boards on my deck, flower box, and window seat with new pressure-treated lumber. They kept me informed, answered all my questions, and stayed true to the original layout and design to retain the look that compliments my home. I highly recommend The House Doctors LLC and would happily hire them again!"

"Outstanding!!! Every aspect of the work done and experience of someone from the outside world coming in my home (which I normally hate) was perfect!! Greg is amazing and super personable; he loved our dogs. HA Did a couple extra things to make sure we were good and aside from the actual “fix”; my house is cool again, smells so much better and I don’t have to set the temperature as low as I did before, which means I’m saving money!! Additionally, I have pride flags, we stand with Roe signs and wrote him an Obama check; I have no idea his political affiliation but he didn’t judge mine. While no one wants something to break; I’m so glad I found Coy’s Comfort for next time!"

Deck Repair FAQs, answered by experts

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

The “best” material is in the eye of the beholder, as each common decking material boasts its pros and cons. Poured concrete is the best budget-friendly option, but composite wood brings high-grade aesthetics without breaking the bank. Wood is the most traditional material, but it requires more maintenance than some other materials. In other words, do your research before settling on a deck material to find the one that’s best for your pool.

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.

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.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.
