Q: How should stair stringers be attached to a deck?

• <div><p>There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won&rsquo;t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.</p></div>

Q: Why consider hiring a professional for deck or porch repairs?

• <div><p>Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.</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>

Q: How do I get rid of moisture under my elevated deck?

• <div><p>If you notice standing water under the deck after rainstorms, you may need a drainage system to efficiently move this water. You do not want standing water to rest against your foundation or against support posts for the deck, as this could cause significant structural problems over time. Make sure the area has proper grading, too.</p></div>

Q: What safety improvements do professionals make during repairs?

• <div><p>Professionals enhance safety by addressing structural issues, securing loose components, and using non-toxic materials. They ensure compliance with building codes and conduct thorough inspections to identify potential hazards. Their expertise minimizes risks, making the home safer during and after repairs.</p></div>
