Q: How do I maintain artificial grass on decking?

• <div><p>Similar to how you would care for turf in the yard, you&rsquo;ll need to make sure you&rsquo;re staying on top of your deck grass by picking up debris, cleaning up spills as soon as they happen, and giving your turf a monthly brushing with a medium bristle brush to keep it from flattening</p></div>

Q: Can a rotting porch post be repaired without replacement?

• <div><p>Yes, some rotting porch posts can be repaired rather than replaced. The decision to repair or replace a post depends on the severity of the rot; the same is true when deciding what type of repair to do, if you go that route. Repairing a porch post is usually cheaper than replacing it, but if the majority of the post is rotted, you should opt for replacement.</p></div>

Q: Should deck boards be nailed or screwed?

• <div><p>When installing deck boards, screws are a better option than nails. For one, screws have more holding strength than nails, so they&rsquo;re better at keeping your deck boards in place. Also, nails are more likely to pop out of the boards than screws, which can create a tripping or poking hazard on your deck. </p></div>

Q: How can I make my deck railing more child- or pet-friendly?

• <div><p>To child- or pet-proof your deck railing, look for railing systems with narrow spacing&mdash;under 4 inches&mdash;between balusters or panels. For added safety, consider installing a clear acrylic or mesh guard along the inside of the railing to prevent small limbs or paws from slipping through. Avoid horizontal rails that adventurous kids can climb like ladders. You can also add self-closing gates at stair openings to limit access.</p></div>

Q: Does pressure-treated wood wear out?

• <div><p>While the chemical, copper-based coating on pressure-treated wood offers protection from rot and pests, it&rsquo;s not a silver bullet. An added sealant will help protect the wood further, though sometimes the wood is treated in a way that causes premature failure, and this is largely out of your control. It&rsquo;s simply a case of bad luck. Regularly inspect all your house&rsquo;s wood to look for any cracks or signs of mold and mildew. Getting ahead of the problem is the key to ensuring it doesn&rsquo;t grow out of control.</p></div>

I needed my gutters replaced and some added due to a home remodel. I heard the ad for Liberty Gutters and Covers on WAXC-TV and then watched Anthony Thorn's interview on "The Front Porch." He was as nice and professional in person as he was on TV. He gave me a prompt and thorough...

It did not go well at all. I had hired them before and had no problems with very small 1 day jobs. But when I agreed to let them do all of the work to remodel an entire house the problems began. Their work showed problems and I found materials missing from my home. They committed to having all...

Fantastic - We have a large home (about 70 squares of shingles). This 4 man team removed (and cleaned up after themselves) the old roof, replaced sections of rotten decking, added the new roof and completed the total job in 4 days. Not one penny was paid until the job was finished and we were...

I took a chance on a flier ad. Phillip Brown (205-567-1826) came out to give me an estimate the day I called. I was originally just going to have him paint the wood trim on the peaks of my house,thinking I could do the rest myself (retired & 66yrs old). Ha! He painted the peaks and we did a...
