About this listen

Tune in here for this 9-5-25 episode of the Home Depot Home Improvement show on WBT with John Gordon and David Dovell.

On this edition of the program, John and Dave talk about the ins and outs of adding a roof over a deck on a brick veneer home. The conversation kicks off with a call from Steve, who’s planning a deck rebuild and wants to ensure proper installation of a roof structure. John and Dave discuss the challenges of attaching a ledger board directly to brick veneer, emphasizing the risks of damaging the brick and compromising structural integrity. They suggest building the roof as a freestanding structure, which avoids potential issues and meets code more reliably. Dave highlights the importance of understanding the air gap behind brick veneer and explains how improper attachment can cause failure. The duo also recommends consulting local building officials and possibly hiring an independent design engineer to ensure the project meets safety and code requirements. It’s another informative Saturday packed with practical, hands-on advice from two seasoned home improvement pros.
