"I’ve had Mr. Handyman (technician Danny) out multiple times for a big remodeling project over the past couple of months. I have them coming out 2 more times this month. The communication is amazing and the work is great (and at a very fair price). I’m always impressed and that’s why I keep coming back to them. Highly recommend!"

Customers say: Quality work

"We HIGHLY recommend Safe Space Construction-- Steve Abbott and his team! We bid out a large, 2-story deck project. Unfortunately, we did not select Safe Space Construction. The contractor that we selected â almostâ finished the job before they disappeared. We had invested a considerable amount in decks that were not properly finished, did not meet code, looked terrible, and were unsafe. I contacted Steve Abbott/Safe Space Construction and asked for help. Steve and his team took on the mess that the prior contractor left behind. They corrected the structural issues (literally taking up much/most of the decking that had been installed, fixing the structure, and reinstalling the decking) and the finishing issues, enhancing the overall look and usability of the deck. They gave us a stunning, functional, safe deck that we can enjoy for many years to come. Steveâ s team does exceptional work. They are reliable and focused on quality workmanship and materials. The pergola that Steve added improved the upper deck so much! We are happy to recommend Safe Space Construction for your next project. We are so thankful that they worked on ours."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

If you want to make a deck cleaner from products already in your home, there are various options. The most common is to use a gentle blend of 1 gallon of warm water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia-free dish soap. You can also mix water with distilled vinegar. Sprinkling on some baking soda can help to remove mold and mildew. You can add oxygen bleach (but never damaging chlorine bleach) to the water and ammonia-free dish soap solution for something a bit stronger. 

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

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.
