"I called Mr. Standish at the last minute, and he was able to fit me in. He explained everything in advance, and I was able to check out his website and a sample report, which really helped. He arrived promptly, and did a very thorough job in every part of the house,including the roof and the crawlspace.His report arrived via email first, which was fantastic! I also received a beautiful bound report in color, with all the problems spelled out, which helped when I was having the repair work done. In addition to all this, I feel I received a very fair price, especially for the services performed. Mr Standish was also very responsive to my phone calls, when I had a few questions for clarification after I received the report. All in all, it was hassle-free and I would and do recommend Standish Inspections to my friends and family."

"I hired Jeff to replace our old leaking patio roof that had plastic type of sheeting as the material. Instead of going with the same material he suggested that we use metal sheeting because of the durability and longevity. It also looked a lot nicer. He noticed some of the wood frame was rotting away and suggested we replaced that as well since everything will be torn apart. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He completed the work in a very timely manner as well as showed up on time. He was also able to complete the job under budget even with using better quality materials. It has been a few years and the roof still looks amazing as well does not leak, even with the extensive rain we have had this past winter. I would definitely recommend him!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of deck design. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.

The cost to repair a deck is between $900 and $3,500, depending on the cause and extent of the damage. For example, fixing a sinking deck caused by pest damage can cost between $200 and $600, while replacing sinking boards costs between $500 and $4,000.
