How do you make a deck gate not sag?

• <div><p>You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair an outdoor structure myself?

• <div><p>Minor fixes like patching leaks or repainting are DIY-friendly, but structural repairs require professional expertise.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix rotten deck wood?

• <div><p>When it comes to rotten deck wood, there really is no fixing it in the traditional sense&mdash;it needs to be removed and replaced. While you can certainly do this yourself, we don&rsquo;t recommend it as some of the issues causing wood to rot could have spread throughout your deck and an untrained eye may not be able to notice. The good news is that replacing deck wood isn&rsquo;t the most expensive project, and can seriously increase the quality and aesthetics of your home.</p></div>

Q: Why does my deck pop in extreme cold?

• <div><p>Cold temperatures can make your deck boards contract. If they don&rsquo;t contract evenly, they can put pressure on the deck screws and cause them to pop out, making a noticeable sound. Winterizing your deck can help prevent this from happening. </p></div>

Q: Can a rotting porch post be repaired without replacement?

• <div><p>Yes, some rotting porch posts can be repaired rather than replaced. The decision to repair or replace a post depends on the severity of the rot; the same is true when deciding what type of repair to do, if you go that route. Repairing a porch post is usually cheaper than replacing it, but if the majority of the post is rotted, you should opt for replacement.</p></div>

TJ did a great job from estimate to finish! He arrived promptly and started right away preparing the walls and even did a few “extras” that I couldn’t reach while he had the scaffolding. Very neat and very clean work. The room looks new again! I will definitely use Sharp Edge Painting for any...

It is very difficult to get contractors to perform work in the area that I live. It is about 30 minutes out of town, in a rather remote area. I am used to either being rejected, or simply not having any service providers in my area. For instance, Service Magic's assistance resulted in no...

He was very prompt and polite. He paid attention to details. When he was finished he cleaned up and offered to return to put the furniture back on the deck. I will be calling him back in the Spring to stain the back steps when they are done.
