Q: Do deck footings need to be inspected?

• <div><p>Yes, deck footings typically require an inspection before laying down concrete. While not all local building codes require footing inspection, proper placement ensures a safe and structurally sound deck. An inspector will verify that the deck can adequately hold what you put on top of it., and that the footings have been dug to the correct dimensions. </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>

Q: Do you need a permit to repair deck boards?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you&rsquo;re making structural changes to the deck or tearing down the old one and building a new one, you will likely need a permit. Check with your local municipality for the regulations and rules in your area, or ask a local contractor <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-deck-building-contractor.htm">who builds decks</a> for advice.</p></div>

Q: What decking material is best?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/good-material-key-long-lasting-decks.htm">best material for your deck</a> depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you&rsquo;re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it&rsquo;s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking. </p></div>

Q: Is Trex decking an eco-friendly material?

• <div><p>Trex states that its <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-trex-decking.htm">Trex decking</a> is an eco-friendly composite material made of 95% recycled or reclaimed materials (including plastic and wood), making it a sustainable brand of choice. According to the company, Trex is one of the largest plastic bag recyclers in the U.S., with each 500-square-foot Trex deck containing about 140,000 recycled plastic bags.</p></div>
