Common Questions

Frequently Ask Questions

What's the difference between a deck, patio, and a porch?
A deck is a raised platform built from wood or composite materials, often without a roof—ideal for outdoor seating or dining. A patio is typically level with the ground, constructed with pavers, concrete, or stone, and integrates well with landscaping. A porch is a covered area attached to the house, typically made of wood, or composite, with a roof and wood framing—providing shade and protection from the elements.
A pergola is a decorative, open-air structure featuring a slatted or latticed roof. Its primary purpose is to offer partial shade, define an outdoor space, support climbing plants, and add architectural interest—enhancing both ambience and visual appeal.
Yes, you can build a deck without railings if it is less than 30 inches (approx. 76 cm) above grade. For decks 30 inches or higher, safety codes require railings—commonly 36 inches high. Local municipal codes may dictate other heights, Erie County regulations follow 36 inches high.

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.

Deck footings should extend below Erie’s frost line (typically 36–42 inches deep) to prevent shifting during freeze-thaw cycles. Depth requirements may vary by municipality, but we handle proper sizing and compliance.

 

  • 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.

 

 

 

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.

Most pergolas are decorative, offering shade and aesthetics. However, structural pergolas (attached to the home or supporting heavy loads like climbing vines) require proper framing, anchoring, and code compliance—especially in Erie’s snowy and windy conditions.
  • 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.
