Hello. I’m 50 years old. I’ve been doing handyman work since I was a young man. Spent most of my life in Maine where I did everything from jacking and leveling camps, interior and exterior remodeling, roof repairs, etc. all while working full time as a structural and miscellaneous steel fabricator, welder and installations. I spent the last 15 years in S. Fl. where I was lead installation manager where we designed, installed and serviced Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems. Also doing residential and commercial building remodeling in my spare time. I have an eye for detail and very good at problem solving. I appreciate every opportunity I get to help people’s needs or dreams come to reality.\nI don’t make excuses. I make it work.

"Eric and Daniel are very personable and professional. They are always prompt, whether it be to give an estimate or to do the work. While on the job, they are respectful of my home and go out of their way to clean up as they go. They are more than willing to do almost anything I need done. They have even assisted me in installing and rearranging woodpecker deterrents I bought. I couldn't recommend them any higher. A++++"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

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.

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.
