Do deck stringers need hangers?

• <div><p>Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.</p></div>

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: What is the difference between a deck and a porch?

• <div><p>While the terms <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/porch-vs-deck.htm">deck and porch</a> are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.</p></div>

Q: How long do porticos last?

• <div><p>Porticos last 25 to 60 years, depending on the material used. A portico&rsquo;s roof typically matches the roof of the rest of the home and can be replaced simultaneously. Portico columns have a similar life span if properly maintained and regularly sealed. In some areas, harsh weather and extreme temperatures may cause a portico to wear more quickly.</p></div>

Q: Should deck skirting touch the ground?

• <div><p>Deck skirting shouldn&rsquo;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.</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...

Our AC stopped cooling at noon, we called at 12:30 PM, and the repairs were finished at 2:30 PM. The technician called when he was on his way, was courteous, and even graciously allowed our five-year-old to "supervise" him from our deck. Fast, friendly, professional service at a very reasonable...
