Customers say: Quick response

"Mike initially installed a storm door and some pulls on my kitchen cabinets. In completing that jose he discovered mold in my kitchen! He referred me to an environmental company. I ended up with a major under floor leak and needed to replace the floor in my bathroom, hallway and kitchen. I also ended up replacing my kitchen counters. After the mold containment (excellent company and removal btw) Mike showed with his assistant on a Monday morning. The job wasn't easy. They worked every day that week and on Saturday I had a beautiful new kitchen, bathroom and hallway. The original floors were wood laminate. I replaced them with ceramic tile that looks like wood. I love them! I chose the same but a lighter colors for my countertops. In putting my downstairs back together, there was drywall, painting, lighting, a new vanity, rebuilding cabinets. All were done perfectly. And they did a fabulous cleanup before they left. I just moved here and it has been a challenge to find trustworthy folks to do home maintenance. I am very thankful I found Mike and Handyman Construction. I will be calling him again for my next project. Thanks Mike!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn’t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck’s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren’t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro. 

Building a deck without a permit could lead to fines for both the homeowner and the contractor. The exact penalties will depend on your state and municipal building laws. You might also be required to remove the deck and apply for a permit before you can build another. While it might be tempting to skip the permit to save a few bucks, it’ll cost you much more if you’re caught.

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.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.
