Porches, particularly older ones, are prone to a variety of issues, including:

• Wood Rot: Caused by water damage, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or poor drainage.
• Cracks or Holes: Often found in concrete porches or decking, caused by settling or freeze-thaw cycles.
• Loose Railings: This is both a safety issue and a cosmetic problem.
• Sagging: Structural issues can lead to sagging or uneven floors and beams.
• Termite or Pest Damage: Wood porches are especially vulnerable to pests, which can eat away at the structure.
• Fading or Peeling Paint: Exposure to the sun and weather can cause paint to fade or peel, affecting the overall look of the porch.
