When selling a home, the details matter.

A client called us this week because their buyer’s inspector flagged “holes in the mortar” on their brick exterior. They had paid a “handyman” to come out and fill them in for them, but here’s the problem:

Those weren’t random holes. They were weep drains—designed to let water escape from behind the brick. Blocking them can trap moisture and cause serious long-term damage.

This is why it’s so important to hire both inspectors and contractors who truly understand what they’re looking at. This “quick fix” could have cost the new homeowner thousands later in water damage, and cost my client service fees for another “handyman” to fill them, and then again for us to clean them out since they never should’ve been filled in the first place.

At Adams Home Services, we don’t just check the box, we make sure the repair is done the right way.

New week, new project! We’re starting on our next deck this week. Originally, this project was planned as a re-deck, but after pulling off the decking, our customer made the decision to replace the framing. In this video, I’ll show you why that choice was made.

In today’s video, we talk about picture framing and the use of spacers. Composite material likes to expand in the heat, so staying consistent with material storage out of the sun and leaving a consistent gap helps keep all your joints even as the sun comes out.

In this video, I talk about cheap insurance to protect your deck against water damage and rot. One of the biggest causes of deck replacement is water damaged joists. Using butyl tape along your joists is a relatively cheap way to enhance the longevity of your deck’s framing, ensuring you have a sturdy skeleton that will last for decades.

Pressure-treated decking is cheaper, right? That composite deck is nice but it’s too expensive, right? RIGHT?!?!

Not so fast.

While the up-front cost is lower, a 12x15 deck with pressure-treated wood can cost over $5,000 more in the long run — thanks to yearly maintenance and a rebuild down the road. Annual costs of cleaning, staining, and sealing add up quickly!

Lowest bidder deck builders will be quick to give you a super low price using 5/4 decking. That cheaper decking might last 10-12 years before needing replacement.

Composite decking costs more up front but lasts longer, in some cases warrantied up to 50 years, and needs almost no maintenance, saving you money over time.

If deck railing is an important safety measure to prevent falls off of your deck, your posts are the muscles that make it happen. There was a change to the building code a few years ago that a lot of deck builders are ignoring. In this video, I show the correct way to attach deck posts.
