Are porch columns load bearing?

• <div><p>Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-i-find-out-if-column-between-foyer-dining-room-living-room-decorative-or-load.htm">ways to identify a load-bearing column</a>, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.</p></div>

Q: Can my deck support a roof?

• <div><p>You can add a roof to most decks, but you need to have it inspected first. If your deck didn&rsquo;t come with a roof initially, it may not be able to handle the weight without some structural changes. You can add additional supports to your existing deck to safely add a roof, and tying your deck&rsquo;s roof to an exterior wall can help add some structural stability, but remember these aren&rsquo;t DIY projects and need to be left to a pro. </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: Where do deck boards often rot first?

• <div><p>Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. </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>

After a 200 yr. old Oak fell on my house I hired Jason and McCarger Carpentry to handle the rebuilding of my home. My home was totally demolished by the tree. Everything from tree removal to final move in was provided on a timely basis.
