"He has completed a number of jobs at my home. Gutter cleaning was just one of them. He has worked on my awning and secured places where there was open access to birds. Inside he has repaired doors, lighting fixture and the bath tub. Upon completion pictures are shared of work without easy access. I have been pleased with all the improvements. He is professional, knowledgable, prompt and courteous. Will not hesitate to use his services again."

"Wow!!! It's been a long time since we have had someone the caliber of Nate come to do work on our home. He returned our phone call almost immediately...arrived exactly on time...got to work immediately...was thoughtful, professional and kept us in the loop the entire time. And the end result? PERFECT deck steps!!!! He was faced with a problem, quickly analyzed the situation and resolved it and now we have a beautifully fixed deck with some very sturdy amazing steps!! So grateful for Nate's work ethic and skills as a craftsman...like I said, it's been a long time since my husband and I hired a handyman that actually did what he said he was going to do and then went above and beyond to do an excellent job!!! Thank you, Nate - we highly recommend you!!!"

"My experience with RedLine Contracting has been exceptional. Gino and his team were the epitome of professionalism. Living in a rural area, I often struggle to find contractors willing to make the trip, but Gino reached out within 24 hours and we promptly arranged a quote. The main goal was to repair and stain my deck, but after meeting Gino, I felt comfortable adding several other tasks to the list. The additional projects included properly mounting lighting fixtures in the main bathroom, fixing broken tiles at the main entrance, staining the sidewalk, painting the master bedroom, installing a new lighting fixture over the kitchen island, and addressing a leaking drain from the upstairs master bathroom. Gino provided precise estimates and very reasonable costs for the extensive work I requested. He kept me informed of any changes or modifications needed, such as an extra coat of white stain for the originally brown deck. His expertise helped me make informed decisions without any pressure. One of the more complex tasks involved cutting out a section of the lower-level ceiling to repair the leaky drain and then matching the ceiling's textured finish perfectly. Gino's skill ensured the repair blended seamlessly with the original finish. Every task was completed with meticulous care and within the expected timeframe. Even when the weather delayed the deck work, Gino rearranged his schedule and worked extra hours to ensure timely completion. His accurate estimates and commitment to the schedule demonstrated RedLine Contracting's reliability. The results speak for themselves. Neighbors have complimented the exterior work, and friends and family are equally impressed with the interior improvements. Gino kept me updated daily via text message on the exterior work while I was out of town, which gave me great peace of mind. From a personal standpoint, Gino is one of the kindest and most respectful contractors I've ever met. He genuinely cares about his customers' satisfaction. I will definitely hire RedLine Contracting again and highly recommend them for any job, big or small."

"After I had my deck power washed, I had them come back to do my windows. Also, they are coming back to landscape around my garage and my banks in the yard. The work is ð ¯ top notch. This fall I will definitely have them cut down 3 trees!!"

"He did what he said he was going to do. I added a couple of other projects and he completed them timely. I had my roof done last Year by Home Depot and he found something they neglected to do. I felt he was honest and truthful about everything I asked him. Since did a good excellent work hired him to did some brick work and brick painting and did a very good job. Highly recommend."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.

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.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Yes, you can build a deck around a fire pit, as long as it is safely enclosed, meets code requirements, and is at least 15 feet away from your home. You’ll want to ensure you have a heat-resistant barrier between the fire pit and your deck to prevent any structural damage and fires. A galvanized ring surrounded by pavers, brick, or stone makes for a beautiful, safe, and sturdy design.
