How long should I wait to walk or drive on the repaired area?

• <div><p>If you used regular jointing sand, you can typically walk on the repaired area right away. If you used polymeric sand, wait at least <b>24 hours</b> before walking on it and <b>48 to 72 hours</b> before driving over it, depending on the weather. Polymeric sand needs time to fully cure and lock the pavers in place.</p></div>

Q: How often should I clean and maintain my winterized porch?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to keep your winterized porch in good condition. Clean the screens, furniture, and floors periodically, and check for any signs of damage or wear. Depending on the materials used, you may need to reapply sealants or perform other maintenance tasks annually or as recommended by the manufacturer.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a snow blower on a deck or patio?

• <div><p>Yes, but it works best with lightweight snowblowers, the single-stage models or electric versions. Also, you need to have a rubberized intake edge on the ground and preferably rubberized auger paddles, not a metal version. Otherwise you may chip or damage the surface as you work. When it doubt, let the snow lie.</p><p>You can also use a snow blower on leveled gravel, but only if you carefully adjust the intake height so it doesn&rsquo;t kick up the gravel and turn it into flying missiles.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can a house balcony hold?

• <div><p>Depending on how you design your balcony is the most essential factor when talking about how much your home's balcony can hold. The typical weight a balcony can support ranges between 50 and 100 pounds per square foot. However, it's possible to exceed those limitations with careful planning by a structural engineer.</p></div>

Q: How is the cost of fixing a water dock determined?

• <div><p>Costs depend on dock size, material type, damage severity, labor, and required permits.</p></div>

If using this contractor, be sure you SPECIFICALLY are aware of EVERYTHING he is going to do. For example, he built a deck for me without using deck screws - the nails pop out and the bench tops warped. He also remodeled my bathroom and did not properly install the tub - causing squeaking and...

I waited until late fall to have my furnace serviced. I called to schedule an appointment around mid-November and the earliest time they had available for a preventative visit was late December. I suppose that makes sense due to the need to keep maximum availability for emergency repairs. The...
