"After not being able to find a reliable handyman with a solid work ethic we were delighted to hire Joe-he kept appts., returned calls and texts and managed to make our deck look good again. We would definitely recommend him."

"Pure construction did an amazing job on repairing my front deck! Got new stairs and handrails installed, and then they repainted the whole deck! Highly satisfied, and I will be using them for everything else that I’ll need done in the future! I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!"

"Showed up on time when scheduled and got the job done. Good job. The only reason for the rating was I am 72 years old and he wanted me to help him move a heavy wrought iron picnic table. He ended up doing it by himself but, he had come out to look at the job beforehand and was made aware of the heavy table then. He did do a good job spraying sealant on the deck ."

"I recently hired Music City Improvements for an interior painting and wall paneling project, and I couldn't be more impressed! From start to finish, their team was professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly skilled. The interior painting was flawless—sharp lines, smooth finishes, and perfect color application that transformed my space. They helped me choose the right shades to match my décor and ensured everything was clean and precise. The wall paneling work was equally stunning. Their craftsmanship added a level of sophistication to my home that exceeded my expectations. Every panel was installed with care, creating a seamless and polished look. Beyond the quality of their work, their team was punctual, friendly, and respectful of my home, leaving everything spotless when they finished. If you're looking for top-notch painting and paneling services, I highly recommend Music City Improvements. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence make them stand out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Five stars all the way!"

Deck Maintenance 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.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

No, it isn’t necessary to skirt a deck, but investing in the cost to install deck skirting can bring more value to your home. Not only does deck skirting make the deck look more complete, but it can also turn otherwise unused space beneath the deck into useful storage space.

Materials for a second-story deck must be weather- and rot-resistant, though the specific choices will largely be determined by your budget and style preference. Pressure-treated wood is on the lower end of the price scale, but it can be customized and stained the way you like it. Composite, on the other hand, is pricier for installation and has fewer options for customization, but you’ll save money and time in the long run because it requires little maintenance.

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.
