We all know a fresh coat of paint can do wonders for updating a space. Still, nothing adds elegance and warmth like custom woodwork and trim. Imagine transforming your living room or custom storage, and a fireplace makeover. Now move to the kitchen and imagine how much better it would look with new, custom-built cabinets. Maintaining the exterior of your home is important to avoid structural issues and keep it looking good. Murach’s Construction can handle all your exterior repairs and perform installations that enhance the beauty of your home. Whether you need us to repair damaged wood, or make improvements to the exterior of your home, you can rely on us for all your exterior home repairs and installation. We do all kinds of handyman services.

"Mark installed floors in our kitchen and living room. We chose hardwood and his work was well priced for the great job that he did. Will definitely recommend him and use him again as he is a Jack of all trades. Thanks Mark!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

If your contractor isn't sourcing your new porch columns for you, you can find them at your local home improvement store or hardware store. You can also order them online for delivery. If you want a unique look or want to save some money, you can also source porch columns from auctions and restore them before having them installed.

Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a termite infestation. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.

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.

When it comes to rotten deck wood, there really is no fixing it in the traditional sense—it needs to be removed and replaced. While you can certainly do this yourself, we don’t recommend it as some of the issues causing wood to rot could have spread throughout your deck and an untrained eye may not be able to notice. The good news is that replacing deck wood isn’t the most expensive project, and can seriously increase the quality and aesthetics of your home.

The signs of rot depend on the type. Dry rot looks like cube-shaped cracks with a fluffy white, cotton-like texture. Wood with dry rot may also have a strong, musty smell. 

Signs of other types of rot include wood that looks mushy or has black spots. The wood may crumble or give way when touched.
