"Professional, polite, punctual. He made sure to protect plants and items on and around the house. He did not rush and was detail oriented. Took the time to explain the process, as well as to point out things he noticed with our home (ie. - gutters and shutters) that we might not have been aware of and might want to address or look into further. I recommend him and we will hire him again."

"I hired this business to refinish hardwood flooring in my home that is close to 70 Years old. There was considerable pet urine damage to a few areas of the floor that would not sand out. The old finish that was on there was kind of waxy and kept gumming up the drum sander. So a belt sander had to be used. The job ended up taking about twice as long as it should have. He could have easily walked away the first or second day of the job because it was clearly going to be a challenge. However, he stuck it out until the end! I was extremely impressed with his work ethic and integrity. I was extremely pleased with the end result. It wasnâ t perfect but the circumstances were out of his control."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.

Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

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.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.
