"We had to reschedule once due to rain but the company followed up to reschedule quickly. The Handyman arrived on time, was professional and competent. He asked if we were providing the siding, which we had already told the company that we wanted them to provide. The Handyman quickly matched and purchased the siding needed. His work to replace the siding was of good quality and quickly done. On the inside, he quickly fixed three doors that would not close correctly; again the work was done efficiently and was well done. We discussed the ramp and the Handyman promised to get back to us with the cost and design. We are awaiting that information, but it has only been a few days. Overall I was quite pkleased with the quality and efficiency of the work done."

"Initially arrived as scheduled. Crew opted not to clean based on weather conditions and re-scheduled. On rescheduled day, did not show up. Had to call several times and get them to send someone. This time, instead of 3 workers, company sent only one. Tracks were not cleaned."

"Excellent all around. Originally called for clearing leaves and debris off roof, Mr Rice appropriately suggested brick washing to remove moss and dirt from stairs and walkway. I was stunned when I drove in that night. Had to stop my car in amazement at the gleam of the cleaned brick walkway and stairs. He later suggested deck cleaning and, again, simply amazing results."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

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.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

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.

Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation.
