Do deck stringers need hangers?

• <div><p>Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.</p></div>

Should lattice touch the ground?

• <div><p>Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pest-control-termites.htm">termite infestation</a>. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.</p></div>

Q: How long does Ipe wood last?

• <div><p>Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It&rsquo;s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs. </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: How much does it cost to fix a leaking porch roof?

• <div><p>If you DIY the project, it costs between <b>$100 and $500</b> to fix a leaking porch roof because you'll only pay for materials like replacement shingles, flashing, nails, and sealant. If you hire a professional roofer to fix your leaky porch roof, you'll also pay for labor, which runs between <b>$45 and $75 per hour</b>. This will likely bring your total price range to between <b>$300 and $800</b>, depending on the severity of the damage.</p></div>
