Michael Petruccelli asks; What are some tips to maintain our deck or porch? (4)

  Michael Petruccelli says;  Framing & securing the structure – Insist that the lag bolts securely anchor the deck ledger beam to the framing of the house. Make sure that the interface detail between the deck and the band joist is also flashed with metal or waterproof membrane to prevent water intrusion into the building.
