Q: How do you make a deck gate not sag?

• <div><p>You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element&mdash;such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace&mdash;across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.</p></div>

Q: What is involved in routine maintenance by professionals?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, sealing, and inspections help identify problems early and maintain aesthetics.</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: How should stair stringers be attached to a deck?

• <div><p>There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won&rsquo;t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.</p></div>

Q: Can a rotting porch post be repaired without replacement?

• <div><p>Yes, some rotting porch posts can be repaired rather than replaced. The decision to repair or replace a post depends on the severity of the rot; the same is true when deciding what type of repair to do, if you go that route. Repairing a porch post is usually cheaper than replacing it, but if the majority of the post is rotted, you should opt for replacement.</p></div>

Tom did a great job on both projects. The leak is totally fixed, and the deck looks great! There were a few challenging aspects to the deck build but he handled them without issue. The only issue is getting on their schedule as they are usually very busy, but it's easy to see why. Quality work...
