Roofing Services
roof repair or replace
John: Thank you for contacting Porch. The condition you describe sounds like you need a roofer to look at the low slope portion of the roof. Possibly you'd need a carpenter to check the framing and the sag. It's hard to tell without seeing the job. Best is to contact a local pro to have a look. You can locate a local pro here: https://pro.porch.com/near-me/roofers or call us at 1-855-707-0141 to get started.
Electrical Services
what ceiling fan to use outdoor. i installed one but it's not creating any draft (54 inch) It's an outdoor covered porch 10ft. x 15ft. 9ft height slightly vaulted.
Rick: Thank you for contacting Porch. If a covered porch an indoor or outdoor fan should work, and you should feel a breeze from the fan. You indicate you've tried reversing the fan and that made no difference. The blades could be misaligned, so we recommend checking the instructions and making sure the blades are installed per the instructions. If not the blades the other issue could be a voltage issue at the power source. If you have a multi-meter, you might check and be sure there is 120 Volts at the power source. The fan manufacturer might have some trouble shooting information on its website. If all else fails, you can have an electrician check the installation. You can contact a pro at this URL: https://pro.porch.com/near-me/electricians or call us at 1-855-707-0141 to get started.

How much does it cost to level my double wide mobile home ?
Andrea: Cost depends upon the amount of work needed, sometimes the jack pads or piers need adjustment, other times leveling is simple adding or adjustment of shims. Best is to get a manufactured home expert out to view your unique needs. Porch does not have manufactured home specialists to refer, so I did a quick Internet search "Las Vegas manufactured home leveling" and found this company in your area had the best reviews. We do suggest you obtain multiple estimates from several local companies. https://www.richardsmhs.com/
