FAQ[s]

Common FAQs

Get clear answers to the questions homeowners ask most about roofing, repairs, and working with Jaco Roofing.

What are the specific Chattanooga building codes for decks built on steep mountain grades or cliffsides?

Decks must follow structural load rules, proper footings, and guardrail requirements to ensure safety on steep terrain.

Which is a better long-term investment for the humid Tennessee climate: Pressure-treated wood or composite decking (Trex)?

Composite resists moisture and requires less upkeep, while pressure-treated wood costs less upfront but requires more maintenance. The better long-term choice often depends on budget, location, and maintenance preference.

How do you protect deck support posts from the high moisture and termite pressure common in the Tennessee Valley?

Posts are set on concrete footings with metal brackets and treated lumber to reduce moisture contact and termite risk.

Do I need a site plan and permit for a "deck-over" project if the original structure is 15+ years old?

Yes. Many deck-over projects require permits and inspections to confirm the original framing meets current safety codes.

How does the 2026 update to the International Residential Code (IRC) affect deck railing height and safety in TN?

The IRC now requires guardrails at least 36 inches high and limits gaps between balusters to improve safety on elevated decks.

What are the best options for "under-deck" drainage systems to create dry outdoor living spaces in the rainy Southeast?

Common options include membrane trough systems installed beneath joists or ceiling-style panels that collect runoff and direct water away from the space below.
