October is a good time to actually walk your deck before you close up for the season. Not because something is definitely wrong, but because catching a problem now costs a fraction of what it costs in March when the damage has had a winter to grow.
The frame is where we start. A ledger board that isn't flashed correctly is letting water into your rim joist every time it rains. By the time you see soft wood from the inside, the repair is bigger than a deck project.
The four things on these cards are what we look at before we write any scope for a deck project in Hyannis. Swipe through, then go take a walk on yours.
