"They were VERY responsive. I had an unusual project that I decided to abort. My decision had NOTHING to do with the contractor. Just a simple change in plans. I plan to keep their info in my contact list for further consideration one day."

"They did a fantastic job! The deck is in good shape, but had never been sealed or stained. Therefore, some mold had gotten on it and it just needed to be stopped before it got any worse. They cleaned it very thoroughly and all the mold is gone! Their communication was awesome as well.
They are coming back in a week to paint our front door and shutters, and then coming in early October to seal our deck. We look forward to future projects with them as well!
Would recommend them to anyone!"

"Brad came to our home and completely designed us a wonderful outdoor screened in porch that is attached to our house where we now spend the majority of our time, and also designed and remodeled our basement area to a beautiful living space/ game room that our guests really enjoy. He was prompt, thorough in his work and very knowledgeable and helped us pick out colors and themes. I would highly recommend his services."

"My husband is being relocated and we needed to hire a professional to help with various repairs and maintenance jobs to get our house ready to put on the market. I did not know who to call. I searched Home Advisor. About 10 minutes after I submitted a request for a handy man Greg called me. It was on a weekend. Greg made an appointment and arrived right on time. We walked through our home and outside and discussed the various jobs that needed to be done. He was prompt in getting me a quote and my husband and I decided to hire him. We were under pressure to move quickly due to the relocation and Greg was fantastic to work with. He juggle our job with his other jobs. His crew were professional and left the job all cleaned up. In addition to pressure washing the outside his crew did various painting, replacement of a ceiling fan and 5 drain assemblies. All the work was completed timely and professionally. After the job Greg stated that if I needed them to come back for any additional repairs he would be here. It was a great relief to know I had a team to help me get our house ready to list!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

Expect to spend around $10,000 to $11,000 to replace a 20-by-20-foot deck. Using high-end materials like composite or exotic hardwoods can drive up the cost, as can custom features and design elements. You can also expect to pay more than average if your deck replacement requires a site evaluation or if you need the work done during the busy season.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation.
