"I hired US Next led by Jorge for a wall remodel project. He was well organized, flexible, good communicator and overall did an amazing job. He listened to all the little needs we had, was very helpful, provided options and gave a detailed pricing upfront. He also made sure to protect our house, covered the work area and cleaned up nicely after he finished. I definitely recommend Jorge and his team, thank you!"

"Great! They arrived at the time they promised. They were careful around my shrubs. The brick and siding of the house looked great and I was shocked at the difference having the driveway pressure washed made. I have asked them to contact me every 6 months to have it done again."

Now i could say that they (Ybarra Professional Builders) did a tremondous job in order to make it look very great and smooth."

"L&N Services has helped me for over five years with multiple handyman projects including but not limited to carpentry work, painting, window resealing, cleaning, moving, organizing, holiday decor, garage door repair, lawn and pool care, power washing and general plumbing. L&N is very dependable and honest in their work. They are always on time, have an extremely high work ethic, and charge very reasonable rates. L&N is respectful of my home, possessions and respectful to me and my family as well. L&N has set very high expectations for themselves and are very detail oriented which is continually impressive to me. They are creative and will spend time researching a project that may be unfamiliar to them, always with positive results. I have been extremely happy with L&Nâ s work over the last five years and will continue to use them. It is hard to find quality people like L&N and once I found them I did not and do not want to ever let them go! I am glad to give any references, generally or project specific, for L&N Services."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

While experienced DIYers may take on the challenge, hiring a licensed professional is often the best route, especially for larger or elevated structures. A local deck contractor is typically the best pro for the job, as they have specialized experience and are knowledgeable about local building codes, ensuring your deck is built safely and designed to last. Other professionals who can build a deck include general contractors and carpenters, who may be more readily available in some regions.

Building codes for deck railings can vary by location, so it's important to consult your local regulations before construction. Generally, a guardrail is required for any deck that is more than 30 inches above the ground.

For residential properties, the standard minimum height for a deck railing is 36 inches. However, some states and municipalities have stricter requirements; for example, California and Washington mandate railings that are at least 42 inches high. Therefore, a 42-inch railing is not considered too high and may be required in your area or chosen voluntarily for additional safety.

In addition to height requirements, codes also specify other safety features, such as the maximum spacing between balusters to ensure they are close enough to prevent a child from squeezing through.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area.
