"We hired Mr. Gorman initially for Deck repair, power washing, deck stain, side vinyl work, and gate installation. While he was completing the jobs we had listed above we had also asked for additional work to be done on our lattice as well as our garage floor. While he did replace the boards on the deck that needed repair, some were not properly screwed and were still loose after he left. We did not realize any of this initially. He then pressure-washed the lower deck by our pool and stained it. After the job was completed we had no idea all of the paint chips from our deck and his power washing went directly into the pool. Our pool robot has been filled with paint chips since he left and we are now having issues with cleaning that up. While painting the deck, he never masked anything so everything around the deck was sprayed the paint color which included our Japanese Maple Tree and flowers. When he constructed the gates, the screws were too big and the sharp ends were exposed. When it came to the lattice he choose the plastic one instead of asking what we preferred. Once he brought it to our house we informed him we did not like it and we were unhappy with his purchase We informed him we would prefer the wooden one instead. While he had put the lattice up the job seemed rushed as it fell a few days after he left due to there not being any nails in the lattice. During this whole process, we had a dumpster here for our personal use so that we could clean out our basement. It was never intended for deck cleanup or anything that had to do with the jobs being done by Tom. He initially asked to throw out a few boards and we approved. On his last day here, he threw out all of the old lattice, wood, his tools that broke we could not even finish throwing out our items from our basement because of this. He never even asked permission to do it again. Instead, he piled up our dumpster to the top and had wood everywhere. Our yard was left a mess with broken wood and old nails exposed which is a huge issue when you have children and animals. It is just coming courtesy to clean up after yourself. After he had finished completing the job and left we noticed a few things. We contacted him about our concerns such as the lattice falling off, as well as the stairs and the deck being loose and not secure. He informed us he would be by in a few days. He came over today without notifying anyone and while he was here our security system overheard him talking badly about us. He nailed the lattice and it ended up splitting and half of it is still not secure . He failed to do the other things I addressed via text. Overall, there was little attention to detail when it came to painting, fixing the deck steps, putting together the gates as well as proper disposal of work items/materials. When meeting him he seemed as if he would do whatever we wanted to satisfy us. Towards the end, it seemed to us that he wanted to get the job done and get his money! To pay almost 14,000 and still have all these issues is just not acceptable. We are not happy with this experience."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

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.

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

For a 12x20-foot (240-square-foot) deck, you can expect to pay between $7,200 and $14,400. This cost is based on a general price of $30 to $60 per square foot. The final price will depend on factors such as the decking material, design complexity, deck type, location, and local labor costs. Keep in mind that add-ons will increase the total; for example, adding an under-deck drainage system to a deck of this size could cost an additional $7,700.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.
