Should lattice touch the ground?

• <div><p>Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pest-control-termites.htm">termite infestation</a>. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.</p></div>

How do I flatten a cupped deck board?

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

Are porch columns load bearing?

• <div><p>Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-i-find-out-if-column-between-foyer-dining-room-living-room-decorative-or-load.htm">ways to identify a load-bearing column</a>, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.</p></div>

If you decide to have a professional handle the rescreening, be sure to get a timeline and a cost estimate so you know how long you&rsquo;ll be without the screened-in space. </p></div>

"They have been great. In our case, we have a wood shingle house in a somewhat dangerous fire zone. It needed exterior treatments. They outlined our options and included a choice for making our home much more fire resistant - "Flame Stop 2". I'd seen it in my own research, but they were the ones to bring it up as a possibility. We chose Cani over another paint contractor who quotes a lower price, but Cani described the work they would perform and it was significantly more thorough and that convinced us to go with the higher quote. It has absolutely been worth it. They are on the last day of their work, and it looks beautiful. What a great crew and absolutely excellent workmanship. I recommend them highly."
