Is it worth sanding a deck?

• <div><p>It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-refinish-deck.htm">deck refinishing process</a>. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.</p></div>

Q: How do I divert water from under my deck?

• <div><p>To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it&rsquo;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&rsquo;s property value.</p></div>

Q: How can I repair areas that show wood rot?

• <div><p>Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-repair-rotted-wood.htm">how to repair rotted wood</a> is something that you can do after stopping existing wood rot from spreading. After removing the wood rot, you can put new wood in place of the ruined wood or use wood putty to repair minor damage. However, because wood rot is difficult to eradicate without expert help, you may want a professional to do it. Do not attempt repairs in the area until you are certain that all the damaged wood and signs of wood rot are gone.</p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover wood rot?

• <div><p>Wood rot is not normally covered by insurance except in rare cases when it results from a covered event like a burst pipe. Wood rot is categorized as gradual, preventable damage, so most insurance policies won&rsquo;t pay for claims to repair wood rot damage. Check your policy to find out if wood rot is covered before making a claim. </p></div>

Q: Can you fix warped composite decking?

• <div><p>You can&rsquo;t fix warped composite decking boards, but you can replace them so your deck surface is no longer warped. For more severely warped decks, especially those with damaged joists or support beams, you&rsquo;ll need a pro to inspect the deck and recommend whether you should replace the structure or repair the damage. </p></div>

I had Clear Skies spray my backyard for mosquitos, and I was honestly shocked how effective it was. I sit on my back porch very frequently, and this has been a game-changer. Even in the heart of the summer, I’m able to finally sit outside without being mauled by bugs. Also, I have a large dog...

The work was excellent.. A small rain shower interrupted the process but the felt was in place so the water was contained and did not cause damage to the roof deck. There has been no rain since but if all goes well -as I expect- the roof and ( shingles) should be OK!
