"Was extremely satisfied with this service. Rick was very knowledgeable and professional. His crew, Sean and Nick, were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure the job got done correctly. I mostly worked with Sean on multiple projects including, replacing kitchen sink, replacing bath faucet, various plumbing issues that existed in 50 year old house that had not been maintained, dry wall repair, interior painting, wall paper removal, cabinet removal and anything else that came up in relation to this work. I will definitely use this service again for future projects. Sean has a lot of experience in many different areas and seems to truly enjoy his work. Again, very satisfied and confident with the work done."

"Absolutely thrilled to have found J Kirch when I was looking for a contractor to add a deck to my home. Workmanship was top notch. The deck looks terrific. I got estimates from 4 contractors and J Kirch provided the most value, got my work done sooner than any other contractor could commit to, and the team answered all my questions in rapid fashion. I Highly recommend considering J Kirch!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.

A deck that isn’t attached to a house is called a floating or freestanding deck. These standalone decks are built near ground level, so they usually don’t need deck stairs. Some don’t even require permits. Generally speaking, building a floating deck is faster and more DIY-friendly than constructing one that’s connected to your home.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.
