"Nick and his partner were absolutely incredible to work with. He cleaned and washed our home, patio, and deck. Everything is so nice and clean and we couldn’t be happier. He was super responsive and has even offered to help with some other jobs around our house. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely have him back out when we need."

Small jobs welcome

Hi! I've realized that I'm happiest in life working out-of-doors and with my hands. This has given me the opportunity to learn how to be an efficient and effective handyman with multiple areas of expertise. I spent several years in woodworking (furniture, floors, fences, maintenance, etc..), and currently co-own a seasonal landscape outfit specializing in Japanese-inspired landscapes.\n\nThis career has armed me with ample experience in anything from general lawn care all the way to major transformations. Some examples include: hardscaping, water features, patios, drainage, sprinkler repair, low-voltage lighting installation and repair, mulching, flower beds, rock gardens, and so much more. I'm not shy about getting on a roof and cleaning some gutters either, as well as other less glamorous work. \n\nI'm looking forward to connecting and lending a hand!

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you’d like to remove it more quickly.

Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

The problems with composite decking include a high rate of expansion and contraction from temperature swings. This characteristic can cause boards to split, delaminate, or peel. In addition, significant movement can cause shrinking, warping, twisting, and bending. For this reason, you should minimize moisture and ensure proper airflow below your deck.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
