"FreshCoat is an excellent contractor! From estimating (Lara) to execution (Edwin), the work was timely completed and of excellent quality. From the owner of the company (Jimmy Zest) on down the attitudes were very professional, and all dealings with them were pleasant. This made what is an inherently messy project tolerable. Highly recommended!"

"Jeff arrived at our scheduled time and introduced Wilbur(painter) and asked what all needs  to be done. Wilbur was very fast and most of all neatly. He did a wonderful job painting the room. Jeff and I have been trying to schedule this job for the past month. I had water damaged to the house and cancel several times. Jeff was very understanding and told me that whenever I was ready, he would come out. My concern was the expiration of the coupon. Jeff assure me that he would honor it  at any time I was ready to use it. Jeff and Wilbur was very friendly and a pleasure to have in my home.IT WAS WORTH  THE WAIT,THANK YOU JEFF AND WILBUR FOR A WONDERFUL JOB. I would highly recommend your company to my friends and family or anyone who is looking for a painter."

"Affordable Handyman Services transormed the back of our house, adding a large deck, tying it into and re screening our screened porch, adding a door to access the screened porch directly from the deck, and removing a bay window in our kitchen and replacing it with a three-panel door so we can walk onto the deck directly from our kitchen. David Wiggins and his crew showed up when they said they would and completed the job within a couple days' of their projected finish - they had a couple of days with rainouts so essentially they finished on time. The door project also required finishing a floor where the bay window base had been, laying tile, running electric to power new outside lights, and touching up and painting drywall inside and the door frame outside. The detail work is excellent and they cleaned up nicely after they finished. We are already getting them to price another smaller project. I definitely would recommend Affordable Handyman Services of Summerville,SC."

"I needed a small honey do list done around the house so I called Hamilton Homes to come out and they came out the same day gave me a price and did my small list. I had them move some boxes from the attic to the garage, had them change out my kitchen lights, add a string to my ceiling fan so that i could reach it better, and some other small stuff  i had. They charged me for 5 hours of there time the 2 guys were very nice and friendly, they did help me out very much so on the list i needed done. Thanks guys

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

Deck repairs cost around $800 to $3,500 . However, your cost depends on the type and severity of the repair, as well as the type of decking material you have. Other factors, like location and labor costs, impact the price, too. Boards and railings are the priciest parts of a deck to repair, while loose stairs are less expensive to fix.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.

Some elevated decks require stairs that lead to the ground level per the local fire codes in some municipalities. In other regions, a staircase is an optional feature that can increase accessibility and convenience for homeowners who want ground-level access to their deck. Additionally, a staircase is necessary if your home doesn't have an existing door leading to the deck.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
