Are there any alternatives to deck footings?

• <div><p>Deck pier blocks are one alternative to traditional deck footings. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/deck-footings-no-digging.htm">don’t require digging</a> or pouring. They’re best for small or low-to-the-ground decks. Keep in mind, though, that not all areas allow the use of deck pier blocks, so consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can a porch swing hold?

• <div><p>Most two-person porch swings are rated to hold up to 500 pounds or more. However, each swing manufacturer has its own recommended weight limits, with some as low as 250 pounds while others are as high as 800 pounds. Always double-check the manufacturer&rsquo;s guide and stay within the recommended range when in doubt.</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: What is the four-inch ball rule for deck railings?

• <div><p>While building your deck, you might come across something called the four-inch sphere rule. Essentially, this <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/railing-requirements-for-deck.htm">railing requirement for a deck</a> states that a four-inch ball should not be able to fit through any gap in the deck railings. The gap between spindles and between the decking and the bottom of the railing must be less than four inches to prevent small children or pets from squeezing through the gap. </p></div>

Q: Why is my porch crumbling?

• <div><p>Your porch could be crumbling due to poor installation, freeze and thaw cycles, or intense pressure washing or sandblasting. If your concrete was poured and cured improperly, moisture can seep into the concrete. When the water freezes and thaws, it causes stress to the structure, leading to cracks and crumbling. If you pressure wash concrete on too high of a setting or sandblast the surface, the concrete can also crumble. </p></div>

They do a good work. They usually check with you to see if they find something that they need to repair before they do it. If it is an emergency, they will respond appropriately; otherwise, they will be late. If you have a scheduled appointment, then they will take you in on time.
