There are no shortcuts if you want a through job, particularly with these new materials.

The contractor must take the time to assure that all the details  are crafted with meticulous care. Then the job will last which is the reason why you selected these more low-maintenance materials.

Decks & Porches are high on the list of home maintenance and repair.

Decks & Porches are particularly prone to wood rot because of moisture infiltration.  They are outside structures exposed to rain, snow, driving winds and vast changes in temperature.

Staining and Painting the porch has been the traditional method to upkeep your deck or porch.

Today Decks and Porches are made of synthetic materials.  Decking and railings are available in Composites, Cellular PVC and Aluminum products.

Porch siding and columns are currently made in fiber-cement, high density polymers, actylic polymers and polyurethane products to name a few.

These synthetic materials will not rot, splinter, split, warp and many are designed to hold paint very well for years.   You can select Columns and Railings that are structural so they can be used for support members.

Please review the photos of typical Porch and Deck Repairs we have experienced over the years.

Almost all deck and porch repairs result form moisture infiltration.

Beginning signs of problems we have seen are:

-  Paint and stain peeling

-  Water marks on porch ceilings, columns, rails and stairs

1. - Paint blistering. Wet and soft spongy wood areas.
   

2. - Increased insect activity in the area of concern
