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>

Q: What ruins composite decking?

• <div><p>Although composite decking is extremely durable, it&rsquo;s also susceptible to extreme heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, warping, and cracking. Composite also retains heat more than wood, which makes it dangerous to walk on in the summer. You can help prevent heat damage by only building with composite in shaded areas or using rugs to cover the hottest spots. </p></div>

Q: Why consider hiring a professional for deck or porch repairs?

• <div><p>Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals address drainage issues on decks or porches?

• <div><p>By correcting grading issues and ensuring water is directed away, preventing future damage.</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>
