San Jose, CA (PRWEB) December 30, 2013

In response to the recent deck failure on the Chico State University Campus in October 2013, and other recent deck failures, M & M Builders, a San Jose Area decking contractor, has announced a new outdoor deck consultation service in 2014 for existing homeowners with outdoor decks and patios, who want to maintain their deck's structural integrity and prevent it from collapsing and causing harm.

The deck inspection is a comprehensive review of all the components of an outdoor deck, said Mark von Dorhen, owner of M&M builders. The consultation is a $500 value, plus for decks needing work, it includes an additional $250 in complimentary repairs that can be used for the existing deck or applied to a new hardwood or composite deck installation.

M &M Builders' new deck inspection service is timely. Right now, there is little direct oversight required when someone is hired to build an outdoor deck. Indeed, decks collapsing due to poor construction or poor maintenance is a huge problem throughout the United States. According to the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI), there are over 2 million decks either built or replaced each yearand currently 45 million decks can be classified as being unsafe.

Outdoor decks are great for recreational purposes, outdoor celebrations and organizational meetings. They increase indoor-outdoor living space and are exceptionally beautiful. But if a deck if not built to code, installed correctly or properly maintained, von Dohren warned, it shouldnt be built at all. Many deck throughout the SF Bay Area are a disaster and should be torn down. Homeowners should be looking at their decks with a critical eye.

In 30 years as a deck builder, von Dohren has seen decks fail for many reasons. But the primary cause for deck collapse in the United States is a separation between the deck's ledger board and the home. Ledger-board failure often happens when nails have been used instead of thru bolts as fasteners.Nationwide, this so called deck-ledger board failure is the cause of 90% of deck collapses, according to National Association of Deck Builders (NADRA). Other reasons for deck collapse include deck joists being nailed to the outer girder; a post or beam fails due to wood rot; and foundation failure.

Preventing deck failure, von Dohren remarked, starts by creating a deck out of hardwood or a durable composite material. Redwood decking and ipe decks are stunningly beautiful. They also happen to wear extremely well, remarked von Dohren. Pressure treated woods and composite decking materials are also a wise choice, both of which are rot-resistant and need very little maintenance.

As for those with an existing deck, Von Dohren recommends inspecting it every season. Start by looking underneath it. Support posts and joists should be examined for signs of moisture that causes dry rot. The deck boards, railings and stairs and the flashing should also be inspected. Most importantly, check the fasteners, those all-important, thru-bolt attachments; make sure they are tight and not corroded. A well-built hardwood deck can last up to 50 years.

"Enjoy using your deck year round as a place for entertaining, relaxing and celebrating," von Dohren added. "But this winter, especially when things get wet and slippery, get your deck inspected to limit the risk of accidents."

The Greeks, known for family-style dinners, lively music, and cuisine, use staple ingredients like olive oil, wheat and wine for their dishes. This combination makes My Big Fat Greek Restaurant a perfect fit for the family-friendly wine- and olive-producing region of the Temecula Valley.

Upon entering the double doors guests are welcomed with a big, Greek-style smile and "hello" from a host or the owner himself, Alan Krier.

Krier opened the restaurant eight months ago with his business partner Reeve Benaron.

The two wanted to bring to the Valley Greek-infused, Mediterranean dishes local residents can enjoy without needing a passport.

At My Big Fat Greek Restaurant, the atmosphere is about entertaining the guests who are catered to and treated like family.

"I love to get to know my customers and create relationships, getting to know them so well we banter back and forth with jokes and ribbings," said Krier.

Having repeat customers means to Krier that he and his staff are doing things right.

"We work hard to maintain consistency in the quality of food we serve, the presentation and a helpful attentive staff," said Krier. "If you order our Watermelon Salad which has heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, and manouri cheese or the popular Colorado Lamb Chops, you should have the same quality of meal every time you come in and order."

The menu at My Big Fat Greek Restaurant Advertisement [ Berry-Bell and Hall Mortuary ] has a wide variety that can please many palates. They offer lamb served up as a gyro, or grilled lamb chops, fish such as salmon or trout, and appetizers like traditional Tzatziki or Dolamathes (stuffed grape leaves).
