Structural Deck Support Beams
These two beams are holding up the the front
deck. They should be examined carefully while doing your inspection for
any rot or termite damage.
These beams would be hard to replace if damaged. Both of the beams
cantilever back into the building and sit directly underneath the floor
joist that are holding up the entire section of the house over the
garage.
If you own a home with a similar situation, make sure these beams are
well maintained and painted regularly. Any damage to these beams could
create a structural nightmare and could be extremely expensive to
replace.
