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>

Are there any alternatives to deck footings?

• <div><p>Deck pier blocks are one alternative to traditional deck footings. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/deck-footings-no-digging.htm">don’t require digging</a> or pouring. They’re best for small or low-to-the-ground decks. Keep in mind, though, that not all areas allow the use of deck pier blocks, so consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck.</p></div>

What maintenance does a wood deck need?

• <div><p>A wood deck needs an annual cleaning, plus refinishing every two to three years, which involves <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-sand-deck.htm">sanding the deck</a> and applying stain or sealer. If you have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-deck.htm">painted deck</a>, you’ll need to repaint it every 10 years. You should also fix and repair loose or broken deck boards, nails, and screws. Cleaning your deck regularly and applying sealant protects the wood from the elements, water damage, rot, mildew, and fading from the sun.</p></div>

If you&rsquo;re not sure about the exact cause, the best option is to call a contractor <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-deck-building-contractor.htm">who can build a deck</a> to inspect the damage and recommend the best way forward.</p></div>

Q: What is involved in routine maintenance by professionals?

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

The service provider was slow. Didn't come prepared. As an example, during the repair - the service provider left the freezer door open the entire time while he read the manual on how to fix the water dispenser. I fully understand that the water dispenser is on the freezer door - but the door...

Jason did a great job. He answered my questions, explained options, made adjustments based on my needs, and was always very pleasant to work with. He has since customized a closet for me, and replaced my neighbor's deck.

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.
