"I felt that the carpets were cleaned very well. No stains remained and the carpet looked fresh. Unfourntatly there was an odor to the home after the carpets were cleaned and becuse i had them cleaned professionaly because i was renting that home and was moving out and went with Tile techs so i could be assured the landlord wouldnt charge for carpet cleaning. That didnt happen that way. i received an email stating the carpets had an odor and they were considering having the carpets re-cleaned. I had to shut the windows that afternoon after the carpets were cleaned because a storm was coming. The house didnt have proper time to air out."

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

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

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.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.
