Q: What is the purpose of a gazebo?

• <div><p>The main purpose of a gazebo is to provide a covered space for people to gather comfortably. They&rsquo;re an excellent place for summertime get-togethers because the roof protects you and your guests from the sun. However, gazebos can also serve as a design feature, adding a bit of charm to a backyard or garden.</p></div>

Q: How do you secure a gazebo on a deck without drilling it?

• <div><p>Using concrete footers is the best way to secure a gazebo on a deck without drilling. The weight of the footers is more likely to hold your gazebo in place than other methods. You can also pour concrete into flower pots to create an aesthetically pleasing concrete footer or use concrete columns to make a statement.</p></div>

Q: Why consider hiring a professional for deck or porch repairs?

• <div><p>Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.</p></div>

Q: What are the alternatives to soffits?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/soffit-vs-fascia.htm">Fascia and soffits differ</a> in their location and design, but fascia vents are the most popular alternative to soffits. These are a bit more hidden than soffits, but depending on the structure of your roof, they can cost more to install and maintain. They are also installed around the entire roof, whereas soffits can be placed only where you need them or, if the aesthetics bother you, somewhere out of sight. </p></div>

Q: Can you leave a gazebo up permanently?

• <div><p>Yes, many gazebos are permanent structures built onto the land. However, if you have a portable gazebo that isn&rsquo;t secured to the ground, you&rsquo;ll want to check the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions to understand when to put it away. Generally speaking, when it&rsquo;s particularly windy or wet outside, you should take down your temporary gazebo.</p></div>

"Nate and his crew were awesome. They had some of the summer's worst heat, rain, etc and they still appeared each and everyday on time and ready to work. We've had so many people tell us how fantastic the house looks. They fixed problems that we didn't even realize were problems (like a hornets nest under an overhang). We would definitely hire them again, and in fact are already planning what we would like to have done next. Never did they ask for payment up front, not even a deposit. That's just not heard of these days. The office staff, specifically Liz, was there to walk us through all the different financing options available, and was a true pleasure to work with. We went with a higher end product versus vinyl siding, we cannot get over the difference it has made in our gas and electric bill as well as how quiet our home is now. Again, we would highly recommend them."
