Q: What’s the difference between a deck footing and a deck post?

• <div><p>Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They&rsquo;re usually made of concrete. Posts are pieces of wood that attach to the top of the footings with brackets. They run upwards and connect to the underside of your deck to support its weight. </p></div>

Q: Does the underside of a deck need to breathe?

• <div><p>Any wood deck provides some ventilation to the area below, as is the nature of that type of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-inspect-my-deck.htm">deck design</a>. However, areas that experience excessive humidity and associated moisture benefit greatly from a dedicated ventilation system in the form of strip vents. This addition helps the various wood boards contract and expand evenly throughout the years and reduces the chances of twisting, warping, and buckling.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to fix a leaking porch roof?

• <div><p>If you DIY the project, it costs between <b>$100 and $500</b> to fix a leaking porch roof because you'll only pay for materials like replacement shingles, flashing, nails, and sealant. If you hire a professional roofer to fix your leaky porch roof, you'll also pay for labor, which runs between <b>$45 and $75 per hour</b>. This will likely bring your total price range to between <b>$300 and $800</b>, depending on the severity of the damage.</p></div>

Love the awning. Back of our house has SW exposure and the sun drives up the AC. The awning over the deck cut those rays and also the AC bills. Installation and maintenance was excellent. Good investment.
