"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."

"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!

"We hired Mr. Scantling and his crew to redo the drywall on a floor to ceiling fireplace and rebuild a half wall previously done by an incompetent contractor and to repair/replace bulging splayed corner seams throughout the house. I was very nervous because we'd had such a bad experience with the previous contractor but Mr. Scantling and his men did excellent work and were very efficient. They finished the whole job in just under two days while being considerate of our schedules (my husband works from home). They didn't mind answering all my questions and were a very congenial crew. But the best part (for me) was that they truly did clean up after the job. This was one of the cleanest home repair/remodeling jobs we've had done in quite a while. I am happy to recommend this company and would use them again."

"He did the whole house for 1/4 of the other estimates I got! Because of that I went around to my other neighbors homes, & told them. He did do my neighbors house across the street. They also were very satisfied w his work. Would highly recommend him. I've been busy since he did the work, so this is the first chance I got to respond. I will also be posting his business info. & recommendation, to the next Holleybrook HOA meeting! There's a lot of homes in here! His business is sure to grow! Also does decks, concrete, aggregate driveway sealing by hand, bricks, roofs, Aeration, seeding, & more! Great work! Great price! Great reward! Thank you, Julio!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight.

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.

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.

The cost to build a deck around a pool typically ranges from $3,000 to $12,000, depending on the size, material, and whether you tackle the build yourself. Most people pay an average of $5,000 for their pool deck project. Hiring a pro to build a pool will cost you more for labor, but it will be worth it to ensure a safe and secure installation.
