Should lattice touch the ground?

• <div><p>Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pest-control-termites.htm">termite infestation</a>. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.</p></div>

Q: Why is my porch crumbling?

• <div><p>Your porch could be crumbling due to poor installation, freeze and thaw cycles, or intense pressure washing or sandblasting. If your concrete was poured and cured improperly, moisture can seep into the concrete. When the water freezes and thaws, it causes stress to the structure, leading to cracks and crumbling. If you pressure wash concrete on too high of a setting or sandblast the surface, the concrete can also crumble. </p></div>

Q: Does pressure-treated wood wear out?

• <div><p>While the chemical, copper-based coating on pressure-treated wood offers protection from rot and pests, it&rsquo;s not a silver bullet. An added sealant will help protect the wood further, though sometimes the wood is treated in a way that causes premature failure, and this is largely out of your control. It&rsquo;s simply a case of bad luck. Regularly inspect all your house&rsquo;s wood to look for any cracks or signs of mold and mildew. Getting ahead of the problem is the key to ensuring it doesn&rsquo;t grow out of control.</p></div>

Q: Why is my porch roof leaking?

• <div><p>A porch roof will be prone to leaking if it suffers damage from extreme weather events, or if it was improperly installed and waterproofed from the get-go. In some cases, a porch roof will be leaky simply because it's at the end of its lifespan and needs to be replaced. Proper maintenance and promptly repairing damage from high winds and hail will help keep your porch roof from leaking.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove deck boards with hidden fasteners?

• <div><p>Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn&rsquo;t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects. </p></div>

Showed roofer evidence of new leak in previously repaired roof (roof had been repaired several years before by unknown roofer). Roofer climbed on roof, found loose shingle due to rusty roof nail and wind, nailed down with new roofing nails, no more leak. Roofer did not charge for repair.

It was very good. The office job was very professional and they did an excellent job with the repair. What they charged was actually very reasonable for air conditioning repair.

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!
