27 year old property had a deck that looked to be about 20 years old. The construction looked like the homeowner and a couple friends did it. The ledger board was bolted to the house properly and the deck appeared safe. The railing had a bit of wobble/movement but pushing my body weight against them held up. So while I did not view the deck as unsafe, I did see that the construction was somewhat subpar which is why the railing had movement. I could have offered suggestions on how to "shore up" the railings and such, but was wondering IF I even need to mention poor construction that is still safe?
