"I wrote a bad review for this company he didn’t like it but he did come back and fix at least the leak I had paid them for for $2400 then he said he would come back and re-mother the sailing and fix it if I took off the bad review. I took off the bad review and it has been five weeks or more. He never came back never saw him another job. I had him do for me. It was replaced a small mini porch step he charged me $1500 for it did it with wood that had two big knots in the wood which I thought was kind of why would you put big open hole knots into a flooring but he did it now three days ago, the hot water in my master bedroom froze. I had to hire another contractor to come in and loan behold the man never put any insulation any covering between the step in the house so down in the basement, you see daylight the pipes are right there in the basement the hot water pipe froze. I had to hire another contractor to come in and in between the slats of wood that he replaced had to put clear sealant because he left open holes to go right down into my basement never put a drop insulation just a big giant open hole and he had to insulate my pipes the new man fill the coals into the wood that he did and I had to pay somebody else to finish his job. Do not get 24./7 home repairs to do anything it’s all half assed"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

If your contractor isn't sourcing your new porch columns for you, you can find them at your local home improvement store or hardware store. You can also order them online for delivery. If you want a unique look or want to save some money, you can also source porch columns from auctions and restore them before having them installed.

Costs depend on repair complexity, hardware needs, labor, and required software updates.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

There are several methods of supporting a balcony. Very small balconies, such as Juliet balconies that don't include any usable floor space and don't need to support human weight, may simply require supporting bolts drilled into the home's structure. Cantilevering is a method that requires no additional exterior supports, and larger balconies typically need posts and footings to carry the weight from below.

While building your deck, you might come across something called the four-inch sphere rule. Essentially, this railing requirement for a deck states that a four-inch ball should not be able to fit through any gap in the deck railings. The gap between spindles and between the decking and the bottom of the railing must be less than four inches to prevent small children or pets from squeezing through the gap.
