Do deck stringers need hangers?

• <div><p>Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.</p></div>

Q: Does the underside of a deck need to breathe?

• <div><p>Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-inspect-my-deck.htm">deck design</a>. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.</p></div>

Q: Is it necessary to skirt a deck?

• <div><p>No, it isn&rsquo;t necessary to skirt a deck, but investing in the cost to install deck skirting can bring more value to your home. Not only does deck skirting make the deck look more complete, but it can also turn otherwise unused space beneath the deck into useful storage space.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for composite decking to warp?

• <div><p>Composite decking may never warp, or it may warp quickly. Several factors can influence the rate of warping, including the material's quality, installation method, and installation location. Generally speaking, high-quality materials that have been installed properly are drastically less prone to warping. </p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover wood rot?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t pay for claims to repair wood rot damage. Check your policy to find out if wood rot is covered before making a claim. </p></div>

Look no further if you want excellent service, honesty, integrity, and the best pricing in the area! After waiting weeks for other local companies to respond, I was fortunate to find Mid-Illini and Haedickie! Sparky immediately returned my call (during family time, no less) and the very next...

Wow….love their products, love their gifts. Sadly was fired from lawn care and bed maintenance for supposedly not returning my paperwork in 2022. As a person unable to physically perform this work it was disappointing to call and be told this rather than any call or follow up from Greenview

Todd and helper suggested how best to rebuild our deck after removing the old deck including substructure. Arrived as scheduled and completed a quality job in less than ideal winter working conditions. Returned in April when requested to make some minor adjustments.
