"Kevin from Smooth as Silk arrived ahead of time to install our garbage disposal and replace the kitchen faucet. Before starting, he explained how he would complete the work without disturbing the existing electrical installation. Kevin’s pricing was reasonable, and he took the time to explain how my elderly parent can use the disposal safely and efficiently. I appreciate Kevin’s attention to detail, professional care for our appliances and clear communication!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Not only did he call back very quick he also told me different things to do to help cool the refrigerator down . He did that over the phone He also called back Later that day to ask how it was going . I don’t know of any other repair person that would do that He was extremely pleasant to talk to that would also be a plus in my book I could not say enough about how he treated me on the phone but he wouldn’t be the only person I would call if I have trouble with the refrigerator again and I would find out what else he does himself and I would call him for any other work I would need done I was so impressed with him thank you very much"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Both a well-constructed deck and a patio can add value to your home. Patios are generally cheaper to build but don’t offer the same aesthetics as a quality deck. Therefore, decks can be more appealing to buyers than patios, increasing a home's resale value.

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.

Yes, adding railing to a deck is a great way to improve safety and your home’s aesthetic appeal. Railings can be constructed from wood, metal, or composite, and there are plenty of choices regarding design and style. Always consult local building codes before starting any building project—there are often requirements regarding spacing and height that can differ slightly from place to place.

PVC decking might be long-lasting, but this synthetic material lacks​​ the natural aesthetic or sustainability of wood decking. If you want to match your decking to your new garden furniture or just freshen up the faded surface, it’s not usually possible to paint PVC decking. When comparing PVC to composite decking, PVC is pricier and more prone to warping in hot regions.
