Is my Porch Safe?
Porch Safety
Lumber 1 advises homeowners, condominium owners and apartment dwellers to visually inspect porches, balconies, elevated-free standing decks and similar structures at least twice a year for safety. Residents should check for the following signs of an aging porch:
- Split wood, rotting wood, loose or missing nails or screws
- Loose or missing anchors where the porch attaches to a house or building
- Missing, damaged or loose support beams and planking
- Loose handrails or guardrails
How long will the construction take?
The entire process takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks. Once construction begins and depending on the size of the project, actual construction typically takes 1-2 weeks.
What kind of Lumber is used?
Lumber 1 uses Premium Grade Southern Pine Treated Lumber.
