Common Questions
Frequently Ask Questions
What's the difference between a deck, patio, and a porch?
What's the purpose of a Pergola?
Can you have a deck with no railing?
Do I need a permit for a deck, fence, patio, porch, or pergola in Erie, PA?
Yes—typically yes:
- Decks over 30 inches high or attached to your home require a permit and official inspections.
- Fences over a certain height (commonly 4–6 feet) also need permits depending on zoning codes.
- Patios and pergolas usually don’t require permits unless enclosed, covered, or affecting drainage.
- Porches are always considered structural and require permits.
Bronze Ridge Contracting handles all permitting and inspections to ensure compliance.
How deep should deck footings be in Erie, PA?
What fence materials hold up best in Erie’s climate?
- Vinyl: Excellent low-maintenance performance against moisture, UV, and temperature swings.
- Aluminum/Ornamental metal: Rust-resistant and highly durable with minimal upkeep.
- Wood: Provides a classic look but requires regular staining and sealing for longevity.
- Chain-link: Practical and cost–effective, but can be enhanced with coatings, slats, or privacy panels.
How do I choose between a patio and a deck for my backyard?
Consider these factors:
- Elevation: Low-to-ground yards work well with patios; sloped yards may need decks.
- Material preferences: Patios offer hardscapes like stone and concrete; decks provide warmth and elevation.
- Usage: Patios are ideal for fire-pits and BBQ areas; decks blend better with landscaping and elevated views.
Are pergolas structural or decorative?
What maintenance do decks, fences, patios, porches, and pergolas require?
- Decks: Clean and seal or stain every 2–3 years; inspect and replace worn boards.
- Fences: Wood needs annual waterproofing; vinyl and metal benefit from power washing.
- Patios: Keep joints clear of debris; reapply joint sand or sealant every few years.
- Porches: Inspect roofs, railings, and steps annually for weather damage.
- Pergolas: Clean and inspect annually; reseal or repaint wood finishes every 2–3 years.
