"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

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. 

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

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.
