    Front Porch needs boards replaced
    Hello,

    My front porch needs some boards replaced. The previous owner did a quickie repair job on some rotted wood. We have 2 pillars and on the outside front corner they sawed the decking at the pillar base so now we need to hire someone to jack up the roof and replace the boards underneath. My question is what type of professional would be the best to hire for something like this as there also may need to do some brick work on the footing underneath the pillar. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    You can hire some one who does home improvements or a handyman. Ask the handyman if he does that type of work. Some handyman just do "honey do" lists.
    If you see a company w/ 'construction' in their name, they more than likely won't do the small stuff like that.
