"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."

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

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface 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 essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

It is possible to build your own deck, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a decking professional. Decks can be exceptionally complicated, especially if you want a wrap-around or second-story deck, and you don’t want to risk making an expensive or dangerous mistake. It’s usually better to hire a decking pro who can pull permits and build a structurally sound deck that will last for decades and provide the maximum return on investment.

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.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.
