The North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA) estimates that 30 million residential decks are past their useful life and need to be repaired or replaced. Home inspectors play a key role in helping to identify deck issues for their clients and to verify deck integrity, with the goal of ensuring user safety as well as helping to extend the deck’s service life. This webinar provides an overview of various standards and best practices for evaluating decks. In addition, presenter Scott Biller will share insights into how his deck inspection became expert testimony in a court hearing.
