"This company did an amazing job with a deck build for us! We showed them some ideas we had and they made some small but impactful design tweaks and came up with something even better than what we’d imagined! Really professional crew - showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves, and - most importantly - build a beautiful, high-quality deck! Would definitely recommend."
"These guys were professional from initial contact, thru the visit and quote and project completion. We had a large wood deck needing cleaning and staining. They worked with our schedule , showed up in time and did excellent work. We will use them the next time we need work."
"Vic was the first to respond and show up to give me a price within my budget. He gave me a date and showed up ready to work. He worked diligently on both the front and back decks of my home. Quality was fantastic and he made sure the project was done right and cleaned up both days when he completed. A great blessing was when he installed a dog gate for me as well."
"Roberts crew replaced my old asphalt roof and completed it all in one day. The guys worked efficiently and did a great job. The next day he sent over his gutter guy to replace all my guttering with aluminum seamless gutters and those turned out great as well. He was the most competitively priced bid I got and I'm glad I contacted him."
"I am extremely satisfied with the work they do. I am a real estate agent so having a great "handyman" is very important to me. I have referred them to work on two of my clients' homes what were being fixed up to be sold or rented. They are very handy and have done drywall work, cabinetry, hung doors, fixed ceilings, added doors, put down a subfloor, replaced and repaired toilets, hung ceiling fans, painted the inside and outside of the homes plus so much more! I have also had them do work for my Dad and one of my personal friends. I would surely not use them as a real estate agent or refer them to my family if they were not the BEST! They are also two of the sweetest and most genuine people. You can't help be really like them. They are very honest and have a great work ethic. I would highly recommend Sean and Erin for any of your handyman needs and beyond for sure!"
"They arrived promptly to evaluate damage and provide quote. They then arrived early to perform repairs. Did a great job and were courteous and professional."
"We’re currently remodeling two bathrooms under the same contract. The first bathroom is complete, and the second one just started this week. While their bid wasn’t the lowest we received, it felt fair and, in hindsight, definitely worth it. The project manager was an excellent communicator—knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and never pressured us to accept the offer. We’re extremely pleased with the quality of work on the first bathroom and are confident the second will turn out just as well. A tip for future clients: make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. We did, and the team completed the bathroom ahead of schedule. The space is narrow, so the photo angles don’t do it justice, but I hope they still give a sense of the high-quality work delivered."
"Rebuilt 800 sq ft deck and 2 pergolas. Adam was always on time and explained what he needed to do for the job. He totally removed the old deck and pergolas and rebuilt both in a very timely manner. He discussed any changes he need to make before hand and made sure that they were OK. At the end of each day he cleaned up the area and bagged all of the trash. The new deck and pergolas are much better than the original and look great! The cost was exactly what he quoted at the beginning of the job. I would highly recommend Adam and would not hesitate to hire him again."
Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.
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.
To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it’s important to keep this area dry and clean. One way to prevent the area from becoming too wet is to install an under-deck draining system. This affordable home upgrade channels water away from the deck and provides usable space for storage or a functional area below a second-story deck. Not only will this be a useful maintenance upgrade, it can boost your home’s property value.
You can nail or screw composite decking, but 3-inch decking screws are the better fastener choice. Unlike nails, decking screws won’t back out of the composite material over time. There’s also little danger of splitting composite material when driving screws, so you don’t need to pre-drill holes unless otherwise recommended by your decking manufacturer.
The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.
