Decks, Balconies, Stoops, Steps, Areaways, Porches, Patio/Cover and Applicable Railings
Decks and other outdoor elements add beauty and interest to your property while giving you designated, exterior rooms where you can enjoy being outdoors.
Inspecting decks and other outdoor spaces and accessways is important to make sure that these elements are safely constructed. After all, balconies hang in the air and decks are often suspended over sharp grades. All of these elements also need to have secure handrails and barriers to keep residents and guests from tripping or stumbling over the side. In addition, a good inspector will inspect these elements for cracks in concrete, rotting boards and/or rusting ironwork.
