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>

How long should I wait to walk or drive on the repaired area?

• <div><p>If you used regular jointing sand, you can typically walk on the repaired area right away. If you used polymeric sand, wait at least <b>24 hours</b> before walking on it and <b>48 to 72 hours</b> before driving over it, depending on the weather. Polymeric sand needs time to fully cure and lock the pavers in place.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals address drainage issues on decks or porches?

• <div><p>By correcting grading issues and ensuring water is directed away, preventing future damage.</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: How much does it cost to fix a leaking porch roof?

• <div><p>If you DIY the project, it costs between <b>$100 and $500</b> to fix a leaking porch roof because you'll only pay for materials like replacement shingles, flashing, nails, and sealant. If you hire a professional roofer to fix your leaky porch roof, you'll also pay for labor, which runs between <b>$45 and $75 per hour</b>. This will likely bring your total price range to between <b>$300 and $800</b>, depending on the severity of the damage.</p></div>
