Are there any alternatives to deck footings?

• <div><p>Deck pier blocks are one alternative to traditional deck footings. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/deck-footings-no-digging.htm">don’t require digging</a> or pouring. They’re best for small or low-to-the-ground decks. Keep in mind, though, that not all areas allow the use of deck pier blocks, so consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck.</p></div>

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—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.</p></div>

What are some ways to keep porch posts from rotting?

• <div><p>The main cause of a rotting porch post is prolonged exposure to moisture. So, the best way to prevent rot is to eliminate and guard against moisture.</p><ul><li><p>Use wood caulk to seal any cracks, openings, or areas along the post where water is likely to pool.</p></li><li><p>Secure porch posts into concrete, if possible.</p></li><li><p>Cover wooden posts with protective sleeves or wraps, often made of vinyl.</p></li><li><p>Install metal post anchors for extra support.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long will it take to rescreen my porch?

• <div><p>Rescreening your porch can take a few hours to a whole day, depending on the size of the enclosure and the amount of screen that needs replacing. 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>

Q: How much does it cost to repair a deck?

• <div><p>Deck repairs cost around <b>$800 to $3,500</b>. However, your cost depends on the type and severity of the repair, as well as the type of decking material you have. Other factors, like location and labor costs, impact the price, too. Boards and railings are the priciest <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-deck-parts-you-need-know.htm">parts of a deck</a> to repair, while loose stairs are less expensive to fix.</p></div>

They painted my wooden fence. Several panels and large gates painted inside and out. Careful not to get paint on inground pool and decking. The men in this company are now my friends. Their professional attitudes are commendable and appreciated. I will call on them for future projects.

"Thomas has done several projects for me. He built my front porch where he tore out the old porch and rebuilt it with railings and stairs. I recently had him replace some doors on my pack-house (shed), where he did some re-framing around the doors where it was rotten. He replaced some exterior siding, has done trim work, and built a pantry for me. He did an amazing job, it looked it was always here! He is very meticulous about his work, very prompt, personable and on-time. Very good value for money!"
