Can my deck support a sunroom?

• <div><p>Even if your deck is properly constructed with a solid foundation, it doesn’t always mean it can handle the extra weight of a sunroom. Always call in a structural engineer to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-inspect-my-deck.htm">perform a deck inspection</a> to evaluate the quality and structural integrity of the deck before building. You may need to reinforce the foundations and joists, and with decks in poor condition, it might be better to tear them down and start again. A pro can help you decide.</p></div>

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: What are the signs that my deck needs professional repair?

• <div><p>Rotting wood, loose railings, or unstable stairs may indicate a need for expertise.</p></div>

Q: Can you fix water-damaged or swollen wood?

• <div><p>Learning how to fix water-damaged or swollen wood is possible, but it won&rsquo;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.</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>

They were hired to repair a rotting support beam under my deck, and then made a suggestion for a replacement of a pergola that was rotting out after 16 years. The new pergola looks great with a new product that cuts out UV rays. Though the job was over a period of about a week due to rain, the...
