Can my deck support a sunroom?

• <div><p>Even if your deck is properly constructed with a solid foundation, it doesn’t always mean it can handle the extra weight of a sunroom. Always call in a structural engineer to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-inspect-my-deck.htm">perform a deck inspection</a> to evaluate the quality and structural integrity of the deck before building. You may need to reinforce the foundations and joists, and with decks in poor condition, it might be better to tear them down and start again. A pro can help you decide.</p></div>

Q: Are there eco-friendly materials available for repairs?

• <div><p>Eco-friendly materials include sustainably-sourced woods, recycled metals, low-VOC paints, and non-toxic sealants, which reduce environmental impact. Using these in repairs promotes sustainability and can improve indoor air quality and overall building health.</p></div>

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: Can you fix water-damaged or swollen wood?

• <div><p>Learning how to fix water-damaged or swollen wood is possible, but it won&rsquo;t always work if there is significant warping or structural damage that was caused by the water. Cosmetic issues such as nicks, bubbling and peeling can often be fixed by using an iron, sanding, or using wood filler.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to winterize a screened-in porch?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-winterize-a-screened-in-porch.htm">Winterizing a screened-in porch</a> can help extend its life and prevent damage to your porch, furniture, and decor. Removable winterization methods like vinyl panels or vinyl sheeting will allow you to fully enjoy your porch in warmer weather while protecting it from damage over the winter. </p></div>
