Joe is very knowledgeable and helpful in getting you what you want and then doing an outstanding job. He even helped me put a sliding in and out while I was replacing its rollers.

"Demren helped with an electrical/smoke alarm problem we had going throughout the house, and also installed a light fixture for us. We appreciated their knowledge and helpful insights around what was required to bring a permanent solution to our ongoing problems with our smoke alarms. They sourced all materials and replaced all wiring and smoke alarms with new units. We have very high ceilings and they came prepared for those. They also addressed areas I had missed in my original request and ran back out for the required materials/unit. They worked quickly and efficiently. And they were very conscientious about keeping the work areas clean. They let me know as soon as they had an opening and maintain great communication. They also had great ideas for ways to address projects I proposed. Great experience! I would definitely recommend!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

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.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

For the best results, stay off of your deck for at least 48 hours after sealing it. Giving the sealant at least two full days to cure ensures it can fully penetrate the wood, giving you the most protection from sun and weather damage later on. Walking on the deck too soon can prevent it from properly curing and cause your deck to weather prematurely.

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.
