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>

Q: How do I know if my deck can support a new railing?

• <div><p>Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.</p></div>

Q: What are the most common carpentry jobs?

• <div><p>Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. </p></div>

Q: What are common signs of rot?

• <div><p>The signs of rot depend on the type. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-does-dry-rot-look-like.htm">Dry rot looks like</a> cube-shaped cracks with a fluffy white, cotton-like texture. Wood with dry rot may also have a strong, musty smell. </p><p>Signs of other types of rot include wood that looks mushy or has black spots. The wood may crumble or give way when touched.</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>

I have a big two story house that needed the trim painted and the front porch repainted. The trim and the porch had not been painted since '95. Some wood needed replacement. I chose Elite Pro to do the work. Partially because of the excellent reviews but what made the decision easy was talking...

Mudjackers came out, and leveled the sidewalk leading up to our front porch, the sidewalk in front of our house, and 2 slabs of our driveway. They were on-time, courteous, completed the work and cleaned up after themselves. Very satisfied with this service, and would recommend them.
