"I am extremely pleased with the repair of my 45-year old deck and steep wooden staircase from Ted Brown, the Deck Doctor. Ted was quickly responsive in getting me a reasonable work estimate. He began the work quickly, replacing damaged wood while maintaining original deck to keep my costs down where feasible. He was honest, personable and helpfully communicative. He and his assistant worked quickly and provided a thorough clean up each day. I highly recommend him. "

After 20 years in the Infantry I dabbled in the corporate world and found myself wanting. I wanted to use my hands to bring a service to those that need it. I currently specialize in multiple small project needs to include: Woodwork, fence repairs, installations of all things, mailbox repair, art/picture hanging, landscaping, cleanup, furniture renovations, furniture assembly, shelving, custom solutions. I have been working on process improvement my entire life, I constructed homes for 4 years to include a 4 month adventure in Phoenix (Too hot for me). My ability to provide consultations on solutions and giving options to the owner are extensive and thoughtful. Let me help you out, you are in charge, I am here to provide you a service.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Building codes typically require handrails if your porch is 30” or more off the ground. However, it's important to check your local regulations and building codes to make sure, as this can differ depending on your location. When in doubt, check with a local porch handrail pro, who will know the local codes and be able to get permits if any are required.

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. 

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

Wood rot is not normally covered by insurance except in rare cases when it results from a covered event like a burst pipe. Wood rot is categorized as gradual, preventable damage, so most insurance policies won’t pay for claims to repair wood rot damage. Check your policy to find out if wood rot is covered before making a claim. 

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.
