"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

When installing deck boards, screws are a better option than nails. For one, screws have more holding strength than nails, so they’re better at keeping your deck boards in place. Also, nails are more likely to pop out of the boards than screws, which can create a tripping or poking hazard on your deck.

Winterizing a screened-in porch can help extend its life and prevent damage to your porch, furniture, and decor. Removable winterization methods like vinyl panels or vinyl sheeting will allow you to fully enjoy your porch in warmer weather while protecting it from damage over the winter.  

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

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.

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.
