I also asked him to think about what could be done with the "short term fix" that could prevent this from happening again, (thinking of John's suggestion of the under-deck drainage/gutter system). That was clearly something he had no experience with.

He was a friendly guy, but I just had the gut feeling that this might be beyond his skill-set. So, appreciate any recommendations on high quality, (and yes, that may mean high cost), deck guys. I don't want any hacks and I don't want anyone who does it part-time when they're not working at the fire station.

Thanks.
Listen to your gut. If it’s saying no then it’s a easy decision
