With over 12 years of experience in general construction throughout the New England area, I recently relocated to Ohio and am now bringing my skills and experience to homeowners here. My background is primarily in residential carpentry, but after years in the construction industry I’ve developed hands-on experience across multiple trades and project types.\n\nI specialize in finish carpentry, framing, remodeling, repairs, and general home improvement work. I take pride in delivering clean, professional results and treating every project as if it were my own home. I believe communication, reliability, and attention to detail are what separate good contractors from great ones.\n\nWhen problems arise, I focus on finding practical solutions quickly and professionally. If a project requires specialized work beyond my scope, I have a trusted network of experienced professionals I can rely on to make sure the job gets done right.\n\nCurrently serving homeowners throughout the Ohio area and willing

"My deck is stellar!! There aren't enough stars for Fence-N-Deck Doctors. My experience was perfect from the start. Jef the owner came out promptly for estimate. Quick, efficient, fair, professional. The construction started a day early and Bryan was expert--I mean super expert having built decks for over 20 years. The process involved questions and few minor changes (no skirting, 4ft steps, and partial privacy wall adjustment). All interactions with Bryan with questions were so positive and options given so that I would be happy with the end result. Bryan said this and meant it. Yes, it is stressful to make an investment but my friend had referred Fence-N-Deck Doctors and all indicators were these are solid, caring and skilled individuals that work as loyal friends and a team. Bryan was absolutely full of integrity. Everything about my deck being built was beyond my expectations. So hard to find this quality of work in these times. I can recommend Fence-N-Deck Doctors and assure you that you will be treated fairly. I acknowledge being incredibly picky and analytical but even with my high standards, if you are like me you will love the finished product and feel happy with the beauty and craftsmanship! I am not worthy of this beautiful deck made just for me. Thank you Jef, Michelle and Bryan!!"

"We were very impressed with the professionalism of Dean's Landscaping. We contracted them to remove/trim all of our front landscaping and re-grade. Very good work and cleaned up very well afterwards."

"They did a good job.  The only thing that bothered me about them is I had told them that I wanted to be here when they did it and they came at a time when I wasn’t here and as a result, our backyard has a fence around the back of it and our yard area extends like 5 to 6 feet on either side of the fence and they didn’t do the aeration or fertilization or the seeding outside the fence area, so there was a fairly large section that they missed."

"Jim & Ben were on it... and the den now looks great! It was a dark worn wood look and now it's fresh and beautiful! Fantastic job! Jim recommended (in changing dark wood to a light color) to caulk all cracks and that was a tremendous suggestion. Everything was sprayed and they used Sherwin Williams Emerald paint...the primer and new coats of paint are smooth, even and very professionally done...really awesome! Jim even came back after the job was completed to touch-up and make it extra nice! Please, take our advise, get a quote from Jim BEFORE you give the job out...you won't be disappointed:)"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

The best material for your deck depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it’s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking.

Yes. Composite decking is resistant to moisture and freezing temperatures, so it’s an ideal material to use in particularly cold or damp seasons. You can install this type of decking throughout the year since it does not warp or split in the cold.
