Outer Banks Rental Homes
If your Outer Banks rental home is 10 or more years old, it is time to consider having your exterior decks, steps and hand rails professional evaluated. This necessary service can be performed by most Outer Banks maintenance persons who specialize in carpentry or by a North Carolina General Contractor. As you may or may not recall, a deck collapsed at a rental home in Nags Head and several people were injured because the nails holding the ledger boards for the deck had rusted and disintegrate.
Regular Maintenance on your OBX Rental Home
If your Outer Banks rental home was built in the past 10 years it should pass all current building standards. If your Outer Banks rental home is more than 10 years old or you have replaced your deck, steps or hand rails without the help of a professional, please contact us so we can schedule an evaluation for you as soon as possible. The strength of the Sun shrinks and expands the salt treated lumber and the nails begin to pop up and out of the decking, hand rails and steps. We recommend that you consider using stainless steel screws or spiral nails when repairing these items because they “bite” into the wood to create a stronger hold.
OBX Housing uses several local Vendors who perform this type of work and they come with references and are fully insured with both Workman’s Comp and General Liability to perform this type of work. We are here to make the process of maintaining your Outer Banks house rental as easy as possible. Please contact our office or email us if you would like us to coordinate this necessary service for you.
