"We bought our house from Baxter builders new in October 2024. Since we bought our NEW house we have had nothing but bad communication, declines our phone calls, takes months to get remedies for issues that should have never been issues to begins with, and sub par Sub-contractors to fix the issues we?ve been having. Since we?ve moved in we?ve had muddy water, black mold growing in the basement, improper flashing and sealing around the basement walls, improper grading issues (which were stated in the home inspection and ignored to fix),and terrible craftsmanship and attention to detail on finish work inside. Once we finally got someone out to landscape, they never called 811 to locate known utilities in the area including water lines, electric and fiber. Since he never contacted, he cut our main water line into the house. His Plumber came to fix it and left our pressure tank suspended from the supply line since he never did a full inspection prior to leaving. "

Decks and Porches questions, answered by experts

Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a termite infestation. 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.

To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it’s important to keep this area dry and clean. One way to prevent the area from becoming too wet is to install an under-deck draining system. This affordable home upgrade channels water away from the deck and provides usable space for storage or a functional area below a second-story deck. Not only will this be a useful maintenance upgrade, it can boost your home’s property value.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

If you DIY the project, it costs between $100 and $500 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 $45 and $75 per hour. This will likely bring your total price range to between $300 and $800, depending on the severity of the damage.

To child- or pet-proof your deck railing, look for railing systems with narrow spacing—under 4 inches—between balusters or panels. For added safety, consider installing a clear acrylic or mesh guard along the inside of the railing to prevent small limbs or paws from slipping through. Avoid horizontal rails that adventurous kids can climb like ladders. You can also add self-closing gates at stair openings to limit access.
