"Brock did an outstanding job on installing our doors and trim in the basement and was very timely in doing so. We also discovered he has a number of various trades and had we connected earlier, he would have been hired for many projects in our basement. Brock will be hired in the future for installing a new back deck and I cannot wait to work with him again! We couldn't be happier with the service Brock provided and the look of our basement since he has finished! We had many hands take part in finishing our unfinished basement and while I would never recommend some of them, I was relieved to be so impressed with Brock. If you need any job done I would 100% recommend reaching out to see if Brock does the job you need. Thank you, Brock!!"

"I had a great experience with Jordan. He Was polite and very timely. His bid was spot on and the cost was exactly what he said it was going to be. He had several different recommendations to make the project even better when it came to insulation. I would definitely use Jordan again And refer him to other people I know."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

In general, you need a footing at each corner of your deck, and within 8 feet of each other. So, how many you need depends on the size and shape of your deck, plus any local building codes. It also depends on factors like the load capacity of your soil and the weight of your deck. You can find a footing calculator online or contact a pro for support.

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

Yes, you can attach a deck to a mobile home, but it’s important that the work be done correctly to avoid the potential for major damage to your home. Many building codes require that any additions to mobile homes—including decks—be either freestanding or have their own support structures. Getting permits may require submitting the home's original floor plan, the proposed floor plan, framing details, and more. 

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.
