"Joe came to repair my porch. I had said that I wanted to use Lowes Deck Correct but he suggested a product by Sherwin Williams. The Deck Correct will fill in any areas up to 1/4" where his product did not. He is a wonderful man, very kind and professional. I just wish he would have used the paint I wanted."

"Matt was very prompt in responding to my request via Angi, unlike 3 other companies I was interested in. My project had a couple "wrinkles" (I.e. non-standard requirements) along the way, but the fellows were quick to adapt. The work was carried out quickly and on time. Once my astronomical observatory is complete and installed on the deck, I plan to send the team some photos of the project they were so instrumental in completing."

"As a first time home buyer, I was already facing a new and stressful situation all by myself. I was aware when I purchased the home it would require work prior to moving in. I sent request to multiple handyman and larger companies to obtain a quote and estimation of time for being able to complete what I need to be able to move in, and then the remaining work. I received quote and estimate on time from this company faster and prompter than any of the other companies I submitted too. After receiving a quote, they came out to my home after scheduling a time frame. They arrived and followed me through the house, paying attention to the details I requested, took notes on everything I was wanting and requesting, and Kareem was able to understand exactly what I needed done. I asked Kareem and his company to run and replace the wiring in the kitchen, the wiring was so old it was at danger of arching and catching fire, and I needed the basement to be waterproofed by installing a sub pump and the entire drainage and pipe system. I informed Kareem I had to have all of this completed within three days, I had to be moving in on the Fourth day, not only did he complete it within the time frame, he completed on the second day by noon, giving me extra time to move in. I was more than happy with this of course, however, as to rewiring of my kitchen he was able to place plugs above the counter tops in very convenient places for me, making life easier. As to waterproofing my basement, the completed work looks amazing, and I am unable to tell that the concrete floors had been ripped open, and was done perfectly. I would highly recommend Kareem and his Company any day and to any of my friends and or family."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.

Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.

Putting lattice under a deck will create a polished look that allows for air ventilation. You can also store items underneath as the lattice provides privacy and protection from the weather. You can also put lattice under a porch to create a polished look in the front of your house.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

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.
