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>

Q: Do cracked deck boards need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Often, cracked deck boards are just an aesthetic problem and do not need replacement. However, longer or deeper cracks may be a problem, especially if they are on the end of the board. You can fill minor cracks with caulk, epoxy, or sealant to prevent further damage and improve their appearance. Replace boards with more serious cracks, which could become a safety hazard.</p></div>

Q: When is a railing required on a deck?

• <div><p>Building codes vary by location, and you should always consult local codes before planning construction. Generally speaking, however, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/railing-requirements-for-deck.htm">railing requirements</a> stipulate that decks more than 30 inches off the ground need railings for safety purposes. These railings usually need to be at least 36 inches tall, although California and Washington require rails to be 42 inches or taller.</p></div>

Q: Does pressure-treated wood wear out?

• <div><p>While the chemical, copper-based coating on pressure-treated wood offers protection from rot and pests, it&rsquo;s not a silver bullet. An added sealant will help protect the wood further, though sometimes the wood is treated in a way that causes premature failure, and this is largely out of your control. It&rsquo;s simply a case of bad luck. Regularly inspect all your house&rsquo;s wood to look for any cracks or signs of mold and mildew. Getting ahead of the problem is the key to ensuring it doesn&rsquo;t grow out of control.</p></div>

Q: Where do deck boards often rot first?

• <div><p>Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. </p></div>

I hired PB Painting to rebuild a 16 x 20 freestanding deck that was damaged by Helene. They have done a great job and have been very accommodating as I wait for materials to come in. I'm very pleased I found them via Angi.
