"Harry is a very hard working, talented, trustworthy contractor. He is efficient, reliable, and very reasonably priced. He did a beautiful job remodeling my porch and deck which was old and in pretty bad shape. He also communicated with me on a regular basis about the status of my project. I highly recommend him!"

"Not only was Deck Dynasty the most reasonable quote: they were easy to work with and did a great job of removing the old damaged back yard deck, cleaning up, and rebuilding a new deck! From hiring to deck replacement and staining, it was smooth. I would definitely call them again!"

"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."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

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.

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.
