Comprehensive Deck Services
Design, Materials, and Craftsmanship
Handy Dandy Dons Handyman Construction plans and builds decks that balance style, structure, and safety. We assess sun and shade, traffic flow, views, and access points, then tailor framing, footings, and connections to suit the space. Expect code-compliant ledgers with proper flashing, concrete footings sized for load, joist spacing matched to the decking you choose, and meticulous waterproofing at every critical interface.
Choose from premium redwood or cedar, composite and PVC boards, or aluminum framing for maximum durability. We use corrosion-resistant fasteners and hardware, offer hidden-fastener systems for a clean look, and integrate railings, stairs, lighting, benches, planters, and pergolas. Every deck is finished with ventilation and drainage details that extend service life and reduce maintenance.
Privacy, Safety, and Curb Appeal
From privacy screens to pool enclosures and pet-friendly yards, we design fences that meet practical needs and enhance architecture. Options include board-on-board, horizontal, lattice-top, hog-wire accents, and decorative metal or composite panels. We size posts and footings for stability, align lines precisely, and build gates that swing true with welded or reinforced frames.
Materials are selected for longevity and style—redwood and cedar, powder-coated steel or aluminum, vinyl and composite systems—paired with galvanized or stainless hardware. We set posts in concrete with drainage considerations, apply protective sealers or stains, and recommend maintenance schedules to keep fences straight, quiet, and beautiful year after year.
Clear Communication and Seamless Execution
It starts with a consultation to understand goals, budget, and timelines. We provide design guidance, material samples, and clear recommendations, then deliver a detailed, line-item estimate that explains scope, options, and warranties so you can make confident decisions.
When required, we prepare drawings, manage engineering for elevated structures, and coordinate utility locates before digging. Our scheduling is transparent, with milestones for material procurement, demolition, inspections, and construction phases so you always know what’s next.
During the build, we protect landscaping, maintain a clean site, and follow strict safety practices. Before final payment, we complete a thorough walkthrough, address any punch-list items, and provide maintenance tips plus a written labor warranty to safeguard your investment.
