Q: What is the difference between a deck and a porch?

• <div><p>While the terms <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/porch-vs-deck.htm">deck and porch</a> are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.</p></div>

Q: How far do you hang a porch swing from the wall?

• <div><p>We recommend hanging a porch swing at least 2.5 to 3 feet from the wall and about 17 inches above the ground to avoid damaging your home. You want enough clearance behind it and on each side of the porch swing to move around safely and avoid the chains rubbing against it.</p></div>

Q: What is involved in routine maintenance by professionals?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, sealing, and inspections help identify problems early and maintain aesthetics.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material for deck railings?

• <div><p>Vinyl is generally considered to be the best option for homeowners seeking railings that are both durable and affordable. Vinyl provides protection against the mold and rot that can develop within wood railings. Composite is another budget-friendly option. However, people building high-end decks often prefer the look of glass panels or metal rails. </p></div>

Q: How do you make a deck gate not sag?

• <div><p>You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element&mdash;such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace&mdash;across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.</p></div>

eck boards versus regular on total large deck and also asked for cost of repair for half. Apparently they weren't interested despite having the compromised section already exposed. Very disappointing and unprofessional. A quote shouldn't be difficult if you know what you are doing. I am crazy...

They repaired a busted pipe in the backyard but deleted my hose spigot. I contacted them to fix the issue but they wanted to charge me to add the hose spigot back like it was before. I paid $437.86 for the repair

The repair included parts and labor and the work on fuses. The shimmy is gone. The car starts without needing to pump the gas. I have used Roberts for several years and find them to be honest in their dealings with the public and they will not do a repair if it's not needed.
