Why does my deck pop and not my neighbor’s?

• <div><p>Your deck may pop, and your neighbor’s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it’s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another. </p></div>

Q: Does pressure-treated wood have problems with rot?

• <div><p>Will pressure-treated wood rot? This wood could eventually suffer from rot, although it takes longer compared to untreated wood. Even though the chemicals applied to pressure-treated wood protect it, they eventually dissipate and leave the wood vulnerable. You can delay the appearance of rot in the treated wood by reducing its direct exposure to moisture and by painting it. Using fewer screws or nails in the wood&mdash;and thereby creating fewer holes in it&mdash;also delays the chances of rot forming.</p></div>

• <div><p>Your deck may pop, and your neighbor&rsquo;s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it&rsquo;s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another. </p></div>

Q: How is the cost of fixing a water dock determined?

• <div><p>Costs depend on dock size, material type, damage severity, labor, and required permits.</p></div>

Q: Why is my porch crumbling?

• <div><p>Your porch could be crumbling due to poor installation, freeze and thaw cycles, or intense pressure washing or sandblasting. If your concrete was poured and cured improperly, moisture can seep into the concrete. When the water freezes and thaws, it causes stress to the structure, leading to cracks and crumbling. If you pressure wash concrete on too high of a setting or sandblast the surface, the concrete can also crumble. </p></div>

Q: How long do porticos last?

• <div><p>Porticos last 25 to 60 years, depending on the material used. A portico&rsquo;s roof typically matches the roof of the rest of the home and can be replaced simultaneously. Portico columns have a similar life span if properly maintained and regularly sealed. In some areas, harsh weather and extreme temperatures may cause a portico to wear more quickly.</p></div>

"I was very pleased with the work Nelson did to repair the woodpecker damage to my cedar siding. He provided a very detailed estimate so I knew exactly what he was going to do and the materials he would use. He kept me informed of the timeline for getting supplies and when he would be able to start. He started exactly when he said he would and completed the work with no delays. I would definitely hire him again; in fact he will come back in the spring to stain the siding because it got too cold to do it this Fall."
