"I am a rental property owner and live out of state and only had pictures of over grown trees and shrubs. Nathan was willing to work with me as I changed my mind about the scope of the job. He was always on site when he said he would be and did an excellent job trimming some shrubs and tree limbs. He sent pictures of the work that he did. My tenant was also pleased with the job. Nathan seems to be a very honest man and I recommend using him for yard work or whatever else you need help with."

"Kerwin is an absolute professional. Communicates on when arriving to complete a task, estimate timeline is always helpful. He's very responsive to my questions, and very knowledgeable. Very well rounded and an expert. He earned our trust to make the best decision for how some tasks needed to be done. His finished product is quality. Kerwin assembled our son's bed, a major closet, TV stands, an office desk, a book shelf and TV mounts. He handled all the fixing and repairs to our house to get it in proper shape to sell. We enjoy working with Kerwin, trust his expertise and work. He is our absolute go-to guy. We referred several family members to him and would 100% recommend him to anyone else."

"Do NOT waste your time and money with this company. All four of the projects I hired Handyman Connection of Winchester to complete for me resulted in no-shows or having to re-schedule at the last minute, which resulted in me losing days and pay from my job. The straw that broke the camel back concerns two projects - deck stripping/refinishing, and replacing pressure-treated handrails and pickets. The deck stripping/refinishing had to be postponed until spring - at me on the decision - because the guy got sick at the last minute the previous fall and Handyman Connection had no one else to complete this job. When the finally commenced the following spring, the guy arrived with a burned-out pressure washer. He asked to use mine, to which I agreed, and just as he was finishing up stripping the deck he also burned out MY pressure washer. Do you think he said anything to me? No! I found this out later that same year when I attempted to use it to pressure wash my sidewalk ... it was completely dead. When the guy came back a few weeks after the deck had a chance to dry out, he applied two EXTREMELY HEAVY coats of deck paint over a two day period. The result ... by late winter/early spring, the paint was chipping, bubbling up and peeling off in long strips. Just prior to the deck being painted, and the second project I referred to above, an installer came out to my house to install Trex top-of-the-line railing and pickets, which I had already bought. He was to also build a gate leading from the deck down to the yard, for which I also purchased the materials. Well, according to the owner of this company, Bryan, the installer messed up the gate and Bryan indicated I would have to have another estimate drawn up exclusively for the gate. The gate was part of the initial estimate, but to date, I did not agree to another estimate and therefore, I never did get the gate - which was one of the main reasons I wanted new railing and pickets, so I could contain my pets to the deck during pleasant weather. And with regards to the rails, within six months each section of the Trex railing began to swag down in the centers. Over the next TWO years, I kept reporting this (as well as the shoddy deck paint job) to Handyman Connection via e-mails, phone calls AND also paying personal visits to the company. I was assured by Tiffany, the owner wife, that Bryan would most definitely come out to my house, survey the problems and fix them to my satisfaction. To this day, I have not been contacted by Bryan or Tiffany in an attempt to address these issues. I had a relationship with Handyman Connection for over three years - despite the no-shows and last-minute cancellations by Handyman Connection (there is a horror story for each of the four projects). I trusted this company, gave them repeated business, and referred them to many people. I make it a point to mention to anyone looking for a contractor for projects around their homes to NOT contact Handyman Connection. I have"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

Yes, adding a composite deck, such as one made from Trex, can significantly increase your home's value. It is a valuable home renovation for recouping costs, with some estimates for return on investment (ROI) ranging between 60% and 70%. More recently, Remodeling's 2024 Cost vs. Value Report suggests a deck addition has an ROI of 82.9%, with an average resale value of nearly $14,600. A new deck makes your yard more functional, enhances the landscape's aesthetic, and can entice prospective buyers. The investment may have a higher return if the deck adds usable square footage to the property.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.
