"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!"

"Great job by Shawn and co. Had large areas of popcorn ceiling to remove, repair drywall, prime and paint. Took them several days due to extent of work but they were there every day until it was finished. Will be using them again."

"when Jose came in to my home  to do my floors i did not know what to expect , or what the process would be like, but from day one Jose was so professional .   My floors tiles  and subfloors was in such bad shape i did not know it could be fix, however Jose took me through every  step he would have to do to get my floors and subfloors back to where it should be.  The gentleman and his workers  was so punctual, every morning he show up on time  and work completlly through out the day.  No  matter what question i asked he alway answer very politely and professionally he told me there was nothing i cant asked.  I cant say enough of this company and their workers it been a long time i that  have seen someone took such pride in their work.  Yes i would hire this company again  and i highly, highly  recommend them, i also had him scraped the popcorn celling and repaintd the kitchen for me   My floors came out fanatic.  Just like new.

"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

No, your deck will not rot under artificial grass as long as it is installed properly. When installed correctly, the artificial grass features a drainage system that prevents rotting. Simply laying artificial grass on top of the decking without proper installation will not lead to an effective drainage system that prevents rotting.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

The “best” material is in the eye of the beholder, as each common decking material boasts its pros and cons. Poured concrete is the best budget-friendly option, but composite wood brings high-grade aesthetics without breaking the bank. Wood is the most traditional material, but it requires more maintenance than some other materials. In other words, do your research before settling on a deck material to find the one that’s best for your pool.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation, substructure, or subframe to ensure stability. This base is typically composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame's joists can be built from various materials like composite, plastic, timber, or metal, as long as the base can support the deck's weight without shifting. A professional deck builder might recommend installing the frame on a solid concrete base for added durability. The final design and materials for the substructure will depend on your budget, the type of deck, and environmental conditions.
