Deck Safety At Home And Your Vacation Rental Property

A deck is one of the top amenities for your home or at vacation properties; in both cold and warm-weather destinations.

Sadly, poorly built and unmaintained decks can cause unnecessary injuries and even death. Without proper installation and regular inspection, your outdoor living area can turn into a potential disaster. Why it is important to hire a licensed company like ours. We have the knowledge, experience and credentials. We always explain the products we use, why and what can happen if you do not do proper work. We can show you samples of the materials we use.

When building a deck, there is more to consider than price and aesthetics.
 
Beyond the installation and maintenance, decks can also sag or collapse simply because of age, corroded materials or exceeding capacity. Your deck inspection should provide information as to the weight limits for your personal deck, along with other general information. If your home or vacation home is in a location with a wet or dry climate, harsh winter, snow and ice can even cause distress to certain areas of your deck.

There are five warning signs for a dangerous deck:
​
1. Loose Connections (I.E. Railing Moving? Stairs? To The Home?)
​
2. Missing Connections (I.E. The Deck Just Nailed To The House?)
​
3. Corrosion
​
4. Rot
​
5. Cracks
​​
With proper deck construction and regular inspections and maintenance, you can help ensure the safety of your family and your guests for years to come. If you would like to schedule an appointment for us to do an inspection just call @ 267-342-1293 or email us cic4menoww@gmail.com
