"We hired them to help us add support beams under our deck to properly hold the weight of our hot tub. They also assisted us with fixing a bunch of furniture we ordered that needed to be built. We had them paint our decks and porch plus fix our kitchen sink and replace our bathroom sinks. They also did some other jobs like fixing our door frame, adding fire extinguishers, smoke alarms replacing our outside cameras, changing window blinds, adding special window glass for heat and replacing deck flooring. They are the best contractors we ever dealt with and we own over 60 properties across the USA. They also went to our newest house prior to closing and performed an in depth inspection and found many issues that the inspection company we hired completely missed. We highly recommend this company to handle all your construction needs. We are hiring them to replace the roof, add concrete footings and rip out and put in a new shower and bathroom for our new house in Gatlinburg in February"

"We asked Tom to help us with power washing and staining our deck. He did an outstanding job, was very professional and responsive. He not only did a great job with sealing our deck but also provided valuable suggestions on other maintenance work in our house. Tom was able to give us quick and transparent estimates. His professionalism, reliability, and exceptional work ethic make him our go-to handyman. We are already planning future projects with him and can highly recommend him."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Yes, an elevated deck can increase a home's resale value. Homeowners can expect a 65% return on investment from the cost of a second-story deck installation. For example, if you spend $5,000 to install a second-story deck, that deck will add $3,250 to the value of your home.

A ground-level deck is a great idea for an outdoor space because it’s easy to access and doesn't require stairs or railings. You can install a ground-level deck near your home or farther away on your property. You can place a ground-level deck around a pool, fire pit, or near a view such as a lake, pond, or area of trees.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.
