"I had an excellent experience recently with Deck & Fence Renewal Systems. Brian and Jeremy removed 7 rotted 4x4 fence posts as well as the 2 foot deep concrete plugs in record time. The new posts were installed in the exact same location/height and were perfectly level. They also did a great cleanup and hauled away all the debris. I'll be using this company again for any of my fencing projects!"

"Mike and Jim did an outstanding job leveling, reinforcing and and structurally improving my mother's deck. They made certain that my 90 year old mother could safely navigate outdoors on the deck which is her very favorite place to be! I am beyond satisfied with this finished Deck repair project by Mike and Jim of Tri-state Home Repair & Maintenance. They have exceeded all our expectations!"

"[no comments provided] At first Mr Normile had a difficult time getting the old deck paint off, and the new paint to adhere. We discussed the problem and solution. Mr Normile and I agreed . The prep was redone and paint applied with a heavy nap roller. The deck looks great now!"

"George was very eager to understand my end goal and made sure I was happy every step of the way. He’s true to his word and when he knew he wasn’t going to get here at the initial time he didn’t hesitate to call and let me know. I really appreciated that! I asked for specific type of mulch and he made sure he brought what I wanted and had me look at it before putting it down. I started planting a pollinator garden and he saved the day by completing it with his beautiful edging, mulching and design. Thank you again George!"

"Will is respectful, polite and listens to what you want done. My yard has a lot of fill dirt with some large rocks so it made it challanging. He also offered me some advice on how to clean the algae off my house which worked perfectly. Very happy with the deck."

"Besides the painting we had discussed, the team fixed many areas of poor workmanship of the previous contractor. Respectful of my home and cleaned up prior to leaving. I do plan on hiring him again to complete more work we discussed while he was here. Very happy I hired this company."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

The least expensive way to build a pool deck is with concrete deck blocks, pressure-treated lumber, and the appropriate hardware for hanging joists and securing deck boards. With these basic yet durable deck materials, you'll have a pool deck that's built to last without the high price tag. You should also stain or seal the deck to protect it against the elements.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

That depends on the condition of your deck. An older deck that looks drab, worn, or has multiple damaged boards might be worth replacing before selling. However, if your deck is in good condition, you can simply clean, repaint, or stain it.

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.
