"Recently had a section of fence put in and our deck extended. From the initial contact through the completed project, Curt did a very professional job. His suggestions and his attention to detail were impressive. He will be on the top of our list for home improvement projects in the future."

"Wesley did a thorough and efficient job with our deck. He got everything completed in a few days. My only issue was a cracked board which he replaced quickly. The deck looks great and is getting a lot of use this summer. I would definitely recommend him."

"I called The Driveway Lady to get a quote and ideas on how to solve a difficult problem with my concrete porch. My home was built in the late 1800s and has a large raised concrete wrap around porch surrounded by beautiful stone walls. Replacement would be prohibitive, but there were some substantial cracks and pitting. It was like walking on an ocean reef, it was so rough, and the repairs made to the cracks wouldn’t hold, but Jean determined that it was otherwise secure with no water penetration below. She suggested they repair the cracks with hydraulic cement and then coat the entire surface with Miracote to seal both the cracks and smooth the surface and protect from future pitting. They worked with me to get the color right when I didn’t like the initial application.  Jean stands by her work and does an outstanding job. The people she has working for her are also courteous, pleasant and easy to work with. I can’t recommend her and her team enough."

"I highly recommend Jason (Jay) and his brother Chris, their quality of work is outstanding! They worked with us to update our worn wooden deck to a beautiful composite with aluminum railings. Very professional throughout the entire project as they worked overtime to meet a specific deadline."

"I was looking for someone specializing in metal roofing and framing to enclose a concrete front porch. We found Jacob online and were so extremely satisfied with the way he took care of every small detail from the start of getting an estimate to the finished product! I canâ t wait to have him and his crew(Ben & Stevie) to build something for us again! Theyâ re family now!ð It was as if Jesus(The Carpenter)built this for us himself! Absolutely the most beautiful work Weâ ve ever seen! So very happy we found him!! Definitely would recommend Jacob & his Crew to Everyone!!! LOVEâ £ï¸"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

Materials for a second-story deck must be weather- and rot-resistant, though the specific choices will largely be determined by your budget and style preference. Pressure-treated wood is on the lower end of the price scale, but it can be customized and stained the way you like it. Composite, on the other hand, is pricier for installation and has fewer options for customization, but you’ll save money and time in the long run because it requires little maintenance.

In most cases, your deck will need some form of deck footing to hold it in place, preventing moisture from rotting your wood and decreasing your deck’s lifespan. Concrete deck blocks are the most common type of footing for floating decks. Some homeowners use ground-level deck footings. For added security, consider digging and laying your ground-level footings below ground.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area.
