"Horrible, Attached are pictures. When I met Benn July 15, 2021. He was working at my neighbor’s house. I asked him to come over when he got a chance. He came over later. I told him , “I need a retaining wall built because my dirt around my piers were being washed away from the runoff of the yard next door when it rains. My yard slopes on that side. I also needed a to close a hole in the corner of my back yard. He stated he was going to go home and come up with something that can help the problem. I agreed to to the contract he made. He started the work July 21, 2021 and completed it July 24, 2021. This was after me calling and texting him. I had given him money to start. I had to leave town a few days after the work was completed. The front looked descent but I never checked under the house. Under the house the work looks like an inexperienced carpenter job without a care. I returned home August 22, 2021 to see an unspeakable sight. Most of the foundation he built was washed away from the bottom of the retaining wall. I immediately called Benn to come bye. He had the nerve to tell me, “I told you it wouldn’t work. I was mad a ****. I would have NEVER agreed to pay for work that a professional contractor say Will Not work. One would be crazy. I hired him because he stated he could build a retaining wall to help me with my problem. Now, he is suggesting a gutter barrier that can help for 1400.00. I made huge mistake hiring Benn. These days it hard to find an honest and descent contractor. Sorry for the long comment. See pictures for yourself."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

To child- or pet-proof your deck railing, look for railing systems with narrow spacing—under 4 inches—between balusters or panels. For added safety, consider installing a clear acrylic or mesh guard along the inside of the railing to prevent small limbs or paws from slipping through. Avoid horizontal rails that adventurous kids can climb like ladders. You can also add self-closing gates at stair openings to limit access.

When it comes to rotten deck wood, there really is no fixing it in the traditional sense—it needs to be removed and replaced. While you can certainly do this yourself, we don’t recommend it as some of the issues causing wood to rot could have spread throughout your deck and an untrained eye may not be able to notice. The good news is that replacing deck wood isn’t the most expensive project, and can seriously increase the quality and aesthetics of your home.

Often, cracked deck boards are just an aesthetic problem and do not need replacement. However, longer or deeper cracks may be a problem, especially if they are on the end of the board. You can fill minor cracks with caulk, epoxy, or sealant to prevent further damage and improve their appearance. Replace boards with more serious cracks, which could become a safety hazard.

It is possible to repair wet, rotted wood, but it depends on the extent of the damage. If the wood is severely decayed, it may be necessary to replace the affected sections entirely. However, if the rot is relatively minor, you can attempt to repair it. Start by removing any wet or decayed wood, allowing the area to dry thoroughly. Then, you can apply a wood hardener or consolidant to strengthen the remaining wood fibers. Finally, use epoxy wood fillers to fill in the damaged areas, shaping and sanding them to match the original wood surface.

The most likely causes of a deck leaning to one side are damaged deck posts, soil erosion, and inadequate deck footings. If you’re not sure about the exact cause, the best option is to call a contractor who can build a deck to inspect the damage and recommend the best way forward.
