Is it worth sanding a deck?

• <div><p>It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-refinish-deck.htm">deck refinishing process</a>. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.</p></div>

How long do screened-in porches last?

• <div><p>With proper maintenance, the average life span of a screened-in porch is six to eight years for the screens themselves, but the foundation and structure can last for 50 to 100 years. To keep your screened-in porch in good shape, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-porch-screens.htm">clean your porch screens</a> regularly, patch holes, re-seal the wood as needed, and address any foundational issues right away.</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: Are under-deck drainage systems worth the cost?

• <div><p>If you want to use the space beneath your second-story deck, then yes, an under-deck drainage system is worth it. Having a drainage system in place lets you run power to the area, so you can install a ceiling fan, lighting, TV, or other appliances to create a comfortable outdoor living space.</p></div>

Q: How do various elements influence the expenses associated with repairs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on repair complexity, hardware needs, labor, and required software updates.</p></div>
