Decks

Crumbling Support
This front porch post is missing a bottom portion and bricks have been added.
Joist Hanger
Improper hangar installation for this deck.  Hangars should never be screwed throught he siding.
Improper Support
This is one of the supports for a deck I found.  This had no beam installed under the joists for support.
No Joist Touch
It is nice to install a beam for a deck but if the joists don't contact it then it serves no purpose 
Ledger Flashing
No ledger board or flashing for one.  This deck was connected to the house through the siding.
Missing Rail
Missing gaurdrails are common place but should be installed properly.
MIssing Beam
This deck has no beam installed.  They are relying on the outer joist to support the entire deck. 
Missing Post
Notice the missing post in the middle of the rear beam.
Porch Crack
The large crack that is present is due to the porch pulling off the house.  This was the result of the missing post piece at one of the first pictures
Breezeway
  A breezeway was enclosed improperly and leaked inside and under the coating.   
Wood Rot
Wood rot is deck enemy number one.
