Someone just spent nearly $32,000 on this covered deck project... and now homeowners are debating whether the framing underneath deserves a closer look.
A covered deck isn't just a deck—it's carrying the weight of an entire roof system too. Every post, beam, footing, and connection has a job to do. If shortcuts were taken during construction, the finished project could end up costing far more than the original contract.
The decking looks beautiful. The structure is what should keep you awake at night.
