Frequently Asked Frisco Porch Repair Questions
Is there a difference between porches and decks?
These two words often get confused with each other because the structures really very similar. They're both outdoor platforms used to add additional outdoor living space and are typically connected to a building such as a house. That being said, there are some differences that separate them into two distinct types of structures. Decks are usually located in the backyard or at the side of a house, with a door leading from the kitchen or dining room for easy al fresco dining access. They can be either free-standing or attached to a building and they may be only a short step or two away from the ground or could be a multi-level construction to serve multiple stories of a home. Decks are open on at least three sides and not covered by a roof.
Porches are often located at the front entrance, but they can be on the side or back of a building as well and they are usually either flat on the ground or raised to match the level of the front door. One of the biggest differences is that proches are sheltered by a roof or awning. They may be open on the sides with columns to support the roof, or they can be enclosed with mesh screens or panes of glass. Regardless of whether your house needs deck or porch repair, or both, you can count on our handyman experts to get your outdoor spaces back to appealing, fully functional condition.
What are the signs I need Frisco porch repair services?
When it comes to a large structure that needs porch repair, Frisco homeowners are sometimes unsure of what types of damage need attention from a professional. Here are some of the key signs that indicate it's time to call your local handyman for Frisco porch repair services:
- Softened, rotting patches on a wooden porch
- Loose, rickety porch railing
- Screens with rips or holes
- Broken or warped screen frames
- Sagging steps
- Spalling or crumbling concrete
- Built-up grime and dirt
- Moss or algae growth
- Infestations of destructive insects such as termites
- Damaged or missing spindles
- Water pooling around footings
- Soil erosion around posts
Can you repair rusty or torn porch screens?
There are definitely some huge benefits to have a screened-in porch, and the biggest advantage is that you can sit outside and enjoy the weather without being chased around the yard by a big, buzzing cloud of nature's most obnoxious creatures, mosquitoes. But if your screen panels have suffered damage from rust or impacts and are riddled with holes or rips, they are basically useless to stop mosquitoes from getting in and snacking on you and your guests.
If the frames that hold the mesh screen panels in place are still in good shape, this is a fairly simple porch repair for our professionals. We'll just remove the damaged mesh from the frame and insert a new panel, then put the frame back in place. If the frames themselves are in bad shape, however, replacing them altogether is likely the best course of action to ensure mosquitoes are locked out and fresh air can come in.
