Q: When is a railing required on a deck?

• <div><p>Building codes vary by location, and you should always consult local codes before planning construction. Generally speaking, however, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/railing-requirements-for-deck.htm">railing requirements</a> stipulate that decks more than 30 inches off the ground need railings for safety purposes. These railings usually need to be at least 36 inches tall, although California and Washington require rails to be 42 inches or taller.</p></div>

Q: What are the different types of porches?

• <div><p>Several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-porch.htm">types of porches</a> are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Porticos</b> are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance. </p></li><li><p><b>Sunrooms </b>are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight. </p></li><li><p><b>Wraparound porches</b> extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.</p></li><li><p><b>Back porches </b>are an extension of the home&rsquo;s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a screened-in porch?

• <div><p>A screened-in porch requires maintenance to keep the screens clean and in good shape, and you may have to do some screen repair or replacement from time to time. A screen porch isn&rsquo;t an all-season porch, so the weather can get in, including wind and rain.</p></div>

Q: How do I get rid of moisture under my elevated deck?

• <div><p>If you notice standing water under the deck after rainstorms, you may need a drainage system to efficiently move this water. You do not want standing water to rest against your foundation or against support posts for the deck, as this could cause significant structural problems over time. Make sure the area has proper grading, too.</p></div>

Q: Where can I get new porch columns?

• <div><p>If your contractor isn't sourcing your new porch columns for you, you can find them at your local home improvement store or hardware store. You can also order them online for delivery. If you want a unique look or want to save some money, you can also source porch columns from auctions and restore them before having them installed. </p></div>

Clyde’s did a horrible job on my roof and gutters, did not complete the job, did not meet their contract, and have never called me back. They are also NOT BBB certified. I do not recommend any of their services. I signed a contract with Clyde’s on 6/9/2023 to have my gutters and roof replaced....

Great. Nuwood Works stained our cabin and deck a short time ago. Great quality work done in a timely manner. I just had them stain our recently completed utility building as well. I highly recommend them.

Tim and his team removed three trees from my backyard. I was amazed at how tidy they left the yard and my deck. I would use this company again, and recommend them.

WORST Inspection EVER!!! The guy literally told us (in front of the homeowners) that there were only three things that he found. A window in the garage (we'd likely never use) needed the spring fixed to ensure it stayed open, the hand rail on the deck was too big to consider "graspable", and the...

I contacted Vincent Abell Contracting when we found that we had a leak around our chimney. We also wanted our front porch pillars replaced -- they were rotting out, and thanks to some woodpeckers, we've had quite a menagerie living in them, including a family of owls. I've always preferred to...
