"I was looking for someone specializing in metal roofing and framing to enclose a concrete front porch. We found Jacob online and were so extremely satisfied with the way he took care of every small detail from the start of getting an estimate to the finished product! I canâ t wait to have him and his crew(Ben & Stevie) to build something for us again! Theyâ re family now!ð It was as if Jesus(The Carpenter)built this for us himself! Absolutely the most beautiful work Weâ ve ever seen! So very happy we found him!! Definitely would recommend Jacob & his Crew to Everyone!!! LOVEâ £ï¸"

"Mike at Alexander Design and Fabrication LLC does excellent work and truly cares about the finished product. Mike installed three front porch posts, raised my sunken walkway, fitted and sanded a bathroom door, repaired drywall around my tub, and stabilized my front porch railing so it doesn’t budge. He is professional, detail oriented, honest, and takes pride in his work. I’ve hired him multiple times and will definitely hire him again. Highly recommended!"

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.

Yes, adding a composite deck, such as one made from Trex, can significantly increase your home's value. It is a valuable home renovation for recouping costs, with some estimates for return on investment (ROI) ranging between 60% and 70%. More recently, Remodeling's 2024 Cost vs. Value Report suggests a deck addition has an ROI of 82.9%, with an average resale value of nearly $14,600. A new deck makes your yard more functional, enhances the landscape's aesthetic, and can entice prospective buyers. The investment may have a higher return if the deck adds usable square footage to the property.

Deck boards should be spaced no more than three-eighths of an inch apart. This is enough space to allow water and small debris to pass through without collecting on the surface, but not enough to create a tripping hazard. Certain materials, like pressure-treated wood, shrink over time, so they may need less space at installation.
