How do I flatten a cupped deck board?

• <div><p>To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.</p></div>

Can my deck support a sunroom?

• <div><p>Even if your deck is properly constructed with a solid foundation, it doesn’t always mean it can handle the extra weight of a sunroom. Always call in a structural engineer to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-inspect-my-deck.htm">perform a deck inspection</a> to evaluate the quality and structural integrity of the deck before building. You may need to reinforce the foundations and joists, and with decks in poor condition, it might be better to tear them down and start again. A pro can help you decide.</p></div>

Q: How do I flatten a cupped deck board?

• <div><p>To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it&rsquo;s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that&rsquo;s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It&rsquo;s best to replace severely cupped boards.</p></div>

Q: How do specialists ensure the longevity of deck repairs?

• <div><p>By applying protective finishes and using durable materials that withstand weather and time.</p></div>

Q: How long do porticos last?

• <div><p>Porticos last 25 to 60 years, depending on the material used. A portico&rsquo;s roof typically matches the roof of the rest of the home and can be replaced simultaneously. Portico columns have a similar life span if properly maintained and regularly sealed. In some areas, harsh weather and extreme temperatures may cause a portico to wear more quickly.</p></div>

Q: Can rotten deck boards be repaired?

• <div><p>Rotten deck boards can sometimes be repaired, but only if the damage is minor. Repairing small patches of rot involves strengthening the damaged area with wood hardener, filler, or epoxy. More substantial damage requires replacing the boards or rebuilding the entire structure in extreme cases. If the rot extends to the joists, posts, or beams, have a contractor evaluate the damage to ensure it is still structurally sound.</p></div>

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

Needed to replace my deck per a condo association mandate. They recommended contractors. All we're way overpriced. I did my own research and found BAC Contracting and Design and it's owner Ryan. His bid was lower and seemed to be fair and legit. Long story short, the association was a nightmare...
