Why does my deck pop and not my neighbor’s?

• <div><p>Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another. </p></div>

Q: Why does my deck pop and not my neighbor’s?

• <div><p>Your deck may pop, and your neighbor&rsquo;s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it&rsquo;s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if my deck can support a new railing?

• <div><p>Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a deck and a porch?

• <div><p>While the terms <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/porch-vs-deck.htm">deck and porch</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a screened-in porch?

• <div><p>A screened-in porch requires maintenance to keep the screens clean and in good shape, and you may have to do some screen repair or replacement from time to time. A screen porch isn&rsquo;t an all-season porch, so the weather can get in, including wind and rain.</p></div>

Daniel did a great job installing doors and drawers in my custom kitchen and bathroom cabinets. He was careful not to scratch the finish, installed and adjusted hinges and drawer slides so that everything hung and worked properly. He installed the hardware as well. His work was excellent.

After buying a kitchen faucet I found that I was too creaky and stiff to get under the sink myself. Leonard answered the phone and was here within an hour. His quoted rate is $85 per hour and I expected about an hour's work. It took two, mostly because the faucet I supplied was not very good,...
