"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."

"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

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.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

Floating decks are a cost-effective and versatile option, but they come with some compromises. Since they sit on smaller footings instead of being deeply anchored, they’re more likely to shift over time, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or freeze-thaw conditions. Their low-to-the-ground design makes them more susceptible to moisture buildup and potential water damage.

You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen. 

A ground-level deck is a great idea for an outdoor space because it’s easy to access and doesn't require stairs or railings. You can install a ground-level deck near your home or farther away on your property. You can place a ground-level deck around a pool, fire pit, or near a view such as a lake, pond, or area of trees.
