Is a porch considered a deck?

• <div><p>While porches and decks are similar in some ways, the two structures aren’t exactly the same by definition. A porch is a covered structure that’s usually attached to the front of a home. On the other hand, a deck is an open structure without a roof that’s often attached to the side or back of a home. </p></div>

Q: Can I use a snow blower on a deck or patio?

• <div><p>Yes, but it works best with lightweight snowblowers, the single-stage models or electric versions. Also, you need to have a rubberized intake edge on the ground and preferably rubberized auger paddles, not a metal version. Otherwise you may chip or damage the surface as you work. When it doubt, let the snow lie.</p><p>You can also use a snow blower on leveled gravel, but only if you carefully adjust the intake height so it doesn&rsquo;t kick up the gravel and turn it into flying missiles.</p></div>

Q: Why is my porch roof leaking?

• <div><p>A porch roof will be prone to leaking if it suffers damage from extreme weather events, or if it was improperly installed and waterproofed from the get-go. In some cases, a porch roof will be leaky simply because it's at the end of its lifespan and needs to be replaced. Proper maintenance and promptly repairing damage from high winds and hail will help keep your porch roof from leaking.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint a damaged pool deck?

• <div><p>Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.</p></div>

Q: Are log cabins difficult to maintain?

• <div><p>Log cabins are relatively difficult to maintain compared to a traditional house. That&rsquo;s because log cabins require regular upkeep and care that can include refinishing and corncob blasting, a process similar to sandblasting that shoots ground-up corncob with compressed air.</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...

Outstanding! Josh and his professional crew built a 12x22 deck on a sloping back yard. The deck turned out better than expected. On the fly Josh had an idea to improve the look, he consulted with me and I agreed. Josh has a great vision of what the customer is looking for and is very meticulous...

I met him in Lowes and asked for his business card. When I called, he came immediately and began working beside my other contractor to finish the job in just a few days. He helped us design the porch and helped us think through the ramifications of our decisions. I'd highly recommend him.

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...
