"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."

"They ultimately did a pretty good job in a hard to manage location on an incline, but did not come when expected and did not come with the root grinder as planned. I think Gerald, the owner, took on more work than he could manage for a while during the summer. They did better last summer when we hired them. The main issue was communication and punctuality; the work was actually pretty good."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. 

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.

Finding a reputable deck builder should start with speaking with a local company and asking for samples of past work and references. You can review the company’s workmanship and speak with past customers to learn what the customer service was like throughout the process. It’s also a good idea to read online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to see if the company has a history of customer complaints. If you can get a referral from a family member or friend, that’s another great option.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.
