"I called Mr. Josh about helping redo my kitchen area (after calling several other people who either didnt call me back OR gave a price that was completely out of budget). He was very respectable and quick with responding and coming out to give a quote. I had a number in my head but just knew that it was going to cost a pretty penny. YALL HE DID NOT DISAPOINT!! Mr. Josh gave my a price that I could not refuse. He got to work within a few days. Now, lets talk about the kitchen. THIS IS THE KITCHEN OF MY DREAMS.

Decks and Porches questions, answered by experts

While the terms deck and porch 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.

No, you don’t need a permit to repair and replace a few boards on an existing deck. However, if you’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 who builds decks for advice.

Learning how to fix water-damaged or swollen wood is possible, but it won’t always work if there is significant warping or structural damage that was caused by the water. Cosmetic issues such as nicks, bubbling and peeling can often be fixed by using an iron, sanding, or using wood filler.

To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it’s important to keep this area dry and clean. One way to prevent the area from becoming too wet is to install an under-deck draining system. This affordable home upgrade channels water away from the deck and provides usable space for storage or a functional area below a second-story deck. Not only will this be a useful maintenance upgrade, it can boost your home’s property value.

Costs depend on damage type, material, and labor rates.
