Q: How do professionals address drainage issues on decks or porches?

• <div><p>By correcting grading issues and ensuring water is directed away, preventing future damage.</p></div>

Q: Should you nail or screw deck boards?

• <div><p>You can either nail or screw deck boards according to your preference. We recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws in this guide because screws offer superior holding powder over time. If you&rsquo;re using screws, you can minimize the risk of cracking the boards by drilling small pilot holes before securing the boards to the deck joists. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to sand a deck?

• <div><p>The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods. </p></div>

Q: Does a porch need handrails?

• <div><p>Building codes typically require handrails if your porch is 30&rdquo; or more off the ground. However, it's important to check your local regulations and building codes to make sure, as this can differ depending on your location. When in doubt, check with a<a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-stair-railings/"> local porch handrail pro</a>, who will know the local codes and be able to get permits if any are required.</p></div>

Q: How should stair stringers be attached to a deck?

• <div><p>There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won&rsquo;t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.</p></div>
