Q: How much does it cost to replace a porch column?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-replace-porch-columns.htm">cost to install a porch column</a> typically runs between <b>$300 and $600</b>, although it can range as low as<b> $300</b> or as high as <b>$2,500.</b> Most homeowners will pay about <b>$400 </b>for a porch column. The materials you choose and whether the column is ornamental or load-bearing will impact the final cost.</p></div>

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: Do cracked deck boards need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Often, cracked deck boards are just an aesthetic problem and do not need replacement. However, longer or deeper cracks may be a problem, especially if they are on the end of the board. You can fill minor cracks with caulk, epoxy, or sealant to prevent further damage and improve their appearance. Replace boards with more serious cracks, which could become a safety hazard.</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: Is PVC decking slippery when wet?

• <div><p>PVC decking can get slippery when wet because it&rsquo;s made from plastic. However, composite and wood decking can also be slippery when wet. It&rsquo;s best to wear shoes with grippy soles when walking on a wet deck, no matter the material, and to be extra cautious not to slip and fall down. </p></div>

We needed our deck replaced. Rod came over the day we called to look things over and gave us estimates shortly after. He was upfront about his other obligations and how deck building was something he enjoyed, but sometimes other work came first. He would primarily work on it on weekends and...

Rodney was originally hired for a drywall job through Angi list. He did a great job. I then hired him for side jobs not through Angi list. He got through half my deck replacement, bailed on the project and took my deposit and will not pay me back. Do not trust this man.
