"Mike and his team were great to work with! He built a deck for us for our 31' RV Trailer. We couldn't be happier with the ideas he came up, his professionalism, and the quality of his service. We highly recommend Mike for any of your construction and remodeling needs."

"Walt and Tammy worked quickly, quietly, and very efficiently together.  After viewing the projects and discussing my preferences, they shopped for materials, returned quickly, and worked their way through my to-do list. They cleaned up after each project and removed the trash.  Walt even devised and built a protective method to prevent future problems with the garage door sensors. Not having the knowledge, talent, time, patience, tools, to maintain my home as I like it, I'm delighted to have found Walt's Handyman on Angies List..  It's reassuring to know that the next time something breaks, wears out, or just plain quits, Walt's Handyman is just a phone call away."

"I can't say enough good things about the service provided by McKinley Landscaping. Gerald, the owner, was personally on-site about 80% of the time (9 day project) with his workers. We had to make a few adjustments to the scope of work but he handled it efficiently and painlessly. Gerald is a hands on contractor, listens to the client and pays attention to details. I can't believe how beautiful my yard is now, and how pleasant the process went. You will pay a little more for this quality of work...and it's worth every penny. By the way, I've also hired his crew to do the maintenance year round for a reasonable price. Thank you McKinley Landscaping!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Increases livable area and enhances aesthetic, often boosting property appeal.

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.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.
