"It was the best service I got for a long time. He exceeded my expectation. He taught me to be cost efficient and he answers a lot of my questions. I would definitely use the service again. He quote me that it would be done in 3 days and he finished in a day and a half days. I like how quick and clean his work. He checked everything and he was thorough."

"The contractor that originally took the job didn't show up. Demolish showed up Wednesday evening as soon as I put the request in Angie's. They took the job. They showed up Thursday morning at 8 am as agreed. They worked tirelessly until the job was completed. One bathroom needed more done. They did not waste materials. Painted and reused shoe molding. Their price was less than two previous installers. We even have materials to return that was not necessary for the job. They had to remove two toilets for the install. The job was completed in one day. Very pleased with the way the job turned out."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

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.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

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.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to build a pergola on an existing deck. All you need to do is attach the pergola support beams to the deck’s joists and build up from there. Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.
