"Fred and Curt did a very professional job for us. They met our requirements and completed the job within the agreed timeframe. They were very neat - no paint splatters, chips, sanding debris, etc. anywhere after they left. There was no need for any callbacks to "touch up" spots. We would hire them again."

"Tom did an excellent job from start to finish. He came out and estimated the job for us giving us several options of materials to use. He was on time and kept the jobsite clean. I would recommend Tom for other deck projects and would use him again."

"Excellent. Jimmy and his guys are very professional and really care about the quality of the work they do. They repaired nail pops, plaster imperfections similar items before applying two coats of excellent quality paint. In addition to the painting work that was quoted, they also recaulked the ceiling molding in the master bedroom and repainted a wood panel over the fireplace at no additional cost. The only hiccup was with the color consultant that Jimmy recommended. She didn't tell us about or recommend us to buy paint samples which we could try before we committed to a color. As a result, we painted the entire great room and kitchen with a color we had picked from the color wheel only to find out we didn't like it and had to have the entire area repainted which added to time and cost. Other than that, we were very pleased with the job they did. We had used them in our previous home and were very pleased with that job too."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

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.

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.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.
