"Lois Diaz with GM Handyman did a fantastic job refinishing our front door and the wood framing the side windows. He was careful and thorough and communicated clearly about steps involved in the process. I will hire him again and recommend his services to friends."

"Anyone who knows me knows I am not easily impressed because I have such high expectations. However this company exceeded even my expectations day in and day out! I have had many home improvement projects done in my life. Bathrooms, kitchens, fences, roofs and decks and I have never been happier with the services and results as I have been with Sione (Jay Concrete & Construction) and the driveway they did for me. IT IS BEAUTIFUL! Sione and his crew were here working everyday exactly when they said they would be. They were polite friendly and professional. Even my neighbors commented on their professional and safety conscious ways. Every step of the way, I was consulted and listened too by everyone on the crew. Each night the messes made were cleaned and made ready for the next days work. My project had a completion due day of May 1. It was completed by April 26. AMAZING! They were so great at the job and done early!!! I will work with them again on future projects and recommend them to anyone needing beautiful concrete work done."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

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.

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

Wood decks need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years on average. Natural wood is highly vulnerable to infiltration and damage from moisture, which can occur rapidly due to exposure to outdoor elements. You can protect your deck and maximize its lifespan by sealing it every year or two.

It depends on the type of wood. The average cost to build a deck out of pressure-treated lumber is $15 to $25 per square foot, but more affordable varieties such as bamboo and cedar cost less at around $3 to $10 per square foot. However, when comparing the cost of vinyl decking versus wood decking, it’s important to also consider ongoing maintenance costs. For example, most woods require regular sealing to keep them protected against weather and rot.

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint.
