Q: Does a porch need handrails?

• <div><p>Building codes typically require handrails if your porch is 30&rdquo; or more off the ground. However, it's important to check your local regulations and building codes to make sure, as this can differ depending on your location. When in doubt, check with a<a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-stair-railings/"> local porch handrail pro</a>, who will know the local codes and be able to get permits if any are required.</p></div>

Q: Should you nail or screw deck boards?

• <div><p>You can either nail or screw deck boards according to your preference. We recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws in this guide because screws offer superior holding powder over time. If you&rsquo;re using screws, you can minimize the risk of cracking the boards by drilling small pilot holes before securing the boards to the deck joists. </p></div>

Q: How do I flatten a cupped deck board?

• <div><p>To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it&rsquo;s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that&rsquo;s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It&rsquo;s best to replace severely cupped boards.</p></div>

Q: What are the different types of porches?

• <div><p>Several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-porch.htm">types of porches</a> are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Porticos</b> are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance. </p></li><li><p><b>Sunrooms </b>are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight. </p></li><li><p><b>Wraparound porches</b> extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.</p></li><li><p><b>Back porches </b>are an extension of the home&rsquo;s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What is the best way to sand a deck?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Mr. Peoples did a fantastic job on our deck and screened in our lanai. We had a couple of small concerns and he addressed them with a great amount of confidence and professionalism.

Very friendly installer. However, area cleanup could have been more thorough. Gutter debris and old gutter mounting hardware not removed from deck and porch.
