"Wes did a great job fixing my deck boards and power washing the deck. He did leave a bunch of the scrape wood around and I had to go back and forth with him to get him to pick up the junk. My big problem came when I attempted to get him to come back to stain the deck. I wanted to use a specific sealant and did the research and sent it to him because it was more then what I think he quoted. I was expecting him to read over the instructions and give me a price. Instead he tells me to go to a different store and buy something else. I had some other work for him anyway so suggested that he come over to quote the new work. We make plans for 8:30ish Saturday morning. Well, 8:30 comes and goes. About 9:05 I get a call from Wes saying that he's been up since 8:30 but hasn't left yet. No apology for being late, just an explanation that he was worn out from the day before. He says he can come right away and I know he lives about 10 minutes away so I say sure. Well, 35 minutes later, still no Wes. So I call and cancel. Wes does good work at fair prices but like so many handymen, he is hard to give work to."

"Shane, Bob and their crew were great to work with. They came on time and worked long days in the dead heat of summer. We had a couple hiccups along the way tied to HOA guidelines, but Shane went the extra mile to ensure we were completely satisfied. The top of the fence floats with the landscape and looks great. At the end of the build he walked us all around the fence and talked through maintenance and upkeep. Very personable and great fence results!"

"Excellent work! At least 1/3 of my roof on the north side had a great deal of moss on it. On much of the rest of the roof there were small amounts of moss along the bottom edge of shingles, and there were patches in scattered places on the main part of the shingles. After Hector and his son cleaned the roof, it looked brand new. They removed plants and furniture from our deck before the job and replaced them after the job. They even did a light washing of the vinyl siding of the house, which was outside the agreed-upon scope of work, but they did not charge me for it. As a former member of a site safety office in a then-Fortune 50 company, I was particularly impressed with the excellent precautions they took to insure their safety on the roof during the job. Hector’s 27+ years of experience was evident in every aspect of the job. I plan to bring him back in a year for annual maintenance. I definitely recommend No More Dirty Roofs to any home owner needing roof cleaning."

Our experience with SJ&Sons was great.  We really appreciated the value we received for the "$69 for 2-hours of labor" deal that we purchased.  I plan to contact this company and use them again in the near future for some drywall repairs.  Also, I know they build decks, and, given how well this project went, we'd be happy to talk with them about a large-scale project like that.  Thank you for all your hard work with repairing our doors!

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

Liquid rubber is great for waterproofing, but it can damage your deck if it’s not applied correctly. First, it can trap moisture in the wood if the deck isn’t completely dry before application.  Second, applying it too thickly can create a heavy, rubbery surface layer that peels and cracks under fluctuating temperatures. For the best results, ensure the wood is completely dry before application, and apply the liquid rubber in thin, even coats. A quick inspection every now and then will help you catch any issues early, keeping your deck protected and looking its best.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
