"D&J are fabulous to work with, and I cannot recommend them enough! They repaired our rotting deck, helping to replace joists, a few rotting posts, switching the deck to composite, adding a new railing, building a custom bar, sanded and restained part of our deck, and replacing the kickplates under the doors to match the new composite. I had tried the traditional way of finding a repair company by doing an Internet search. One company came out but never gave us a quote. I called over a month later and they said they were working on it, but they never responded after that. Another company sent a salesman out to look at the job. He took measurements and said he would get me a quote soon, but it was several weeks later and very expensive (likely more to cover his salary). Frustrated, I went to Angiâ s list (HomeAdvisor) and found D&J. I emailed them late on a Saturday night, and Jason called me the next day. He and Dustin came out that week to look at the job, he got me a quote in just a few days, and their pricing was very reasonable. What I appreciate about D&J is that not only are they reasonably priced, they are the two that you deal with in the whole process. I have found that when there are sales people and installers that often things are not communicated well or mistakes are made (like a salesperson telling you it can be done but the installer saying it canâ t). D&J does it all, so you know exactly what you need, what it will cost, and who will do the work. Plus, theyâ re just great, honest guys. My retired neighbors watched them every day, and they would tell me how hard they worked from about 8:00 to 4:00 every day. They were so impressed that theyâ ve told their family about them. Weâ ve told our family and friends, too, and we plan to use them for some other work at a different house we own. If you want honest guys who are going to give you honest pricing and do an honest dayâ s work, you can do no better than Jason and Dustin. We are so glad we found them, as now we know who our first call will be to whenever we need work down around our house."

"LM. Coatings responded to my deck expansion to support a hot tub and replace existing deck with composite wood in less than a hour. They gave me a a detailed estimate in a couple couple of days, started the project a few days after I accepted the proposal, and finished the project in 2 days. Right now Iâ m planning on bringing them back in the fall to convert my deck into a screened in porch."

"Had them at the house three times. They were on time each day. They were working on my project within 5 minutes of arriving. They were precise in their work and cleaned up well afterwards. I recommend them for a variety of home jobs."

"Doug was very professional and responsive to our needs. It would have taken us weeks to get done what he and his crew knocked out in less than 2 days. They also did a much better job than we could have done."

"Everything went extremely well! The representative, Mr. Keith Hall, was excellent. He made my family and I feel very comfortable during this transition to Knoxville. I not only recommend Mr. Handyman of West Knoxville, but him as well. Absolutely loved the results as well."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Although composite decking is extremely durable, it’s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots.

Yes, you can build a deck around a fire pit, as long as it is safely enclosed, meets code requirements, and is at least 15 feet away from your home. You’ll want to ensure you have a heat-resistant barrier between the fire pit and your deck to prevent any structural damage and fires. A galvanized ring surrounded by pavers, brick, or stone makes for a beautiful, safe, and sturdy design.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

PVC decking might be long-lasting, but this synthetic material lacks​​ the natural aesthetic or sustainability of wood decking. If you want to match your decking to your new garden furniture or just freshen up the faded surface, it’s not usually possible to paint PVC decking. When comparing PVC to composite decking, PVC is pricier and more prone to warping in hot regions.
