"Chris is actually one of the nicest, most professional, and caring contractors I have ever worked with. He is easy to contact, prompt, does AMAZING work, and leaves barely any trace that the crew had been there. I feel he really goes above and beyond when building decks. I'm seriously such a picky person, and he exceeded all of my expectations. I just wish that I could have him do all of my carpentry work in the future, but I think he only focuses on decks, which is why he is so awesome :)"

"Mr. Baldyga was very professional. He was up front about cost and timing of the work I needed done. I needed new carpets installed and the old removed, new floors in my kitchen and laundry room. He moved a wall to extend my master bedroom and moved my laundry room from the basement up to the main level of the house. Excellent work done by Mr. Baldyga"

We have the experience and we are committed to providing quality workmanship and superior customer service on all our applications. We at Christiansen Carpentry strive to maintain our reputation as a high quality, very service oriented company with our main focus being customer satisfaction.

"Unprofessional, untimely, poor workmanship, stressful experience. Shawn did a LVP flooring install on two levels of my house, including the kitchen. Almost $8K for 1K SF. Flooring failed 1st time due to no subfloor leveling despite me asking twice if it was needed. 24 planks in 600 SF were separating in 2 weeks. Once I informed Shawn the floor was failing, his workers tried accessing my garage without permission to get tools. Seemed like they were trying to split on a bad job. Despite the bad job done, I worked with him on cost-effective products to try and save as much money as possible on the rework. Both levels of flooring had issues, but I only asked for main level to be redone. Ultimately, it took 4 months of poor communication and terrible customer service to finally get new flooring installed, still not level but holding????! Ultimately, the new flooring installed was left unfinished, leaving me to install trim, transitions, end caps, stair nosing and caulk on my own."

"Nick did a great job on the project. He was quick, neat and professional. I would have given him 5 stars. However, he dropped one of his tools on my floor and cracked one of my ceramic tiles in the bathroom. When I asked him about repair he said: "Unfortunately i don't do tile it's not one of my strong suits." He said he would "ask some people ik and i'll let u know". That was November 5 and today is November 25th. I have not heard from him."

Decks and Porches questions, answered by experts

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

To child- or pet-proof your deck railing, look for railing systems with narrow spacing—under 4 inches—between balusters or panels. For added safety, consider installing a clear acrylic or mesh guard along the inside of the railing to prevent small limbs or paws from slipping through. Avoid horizontal rails that adventurous kids can climb like ladders. You can also add self-closing gates at stair openings to limit access.

Costs depend on repair complexity, hardware needs, labor, and required software updates.

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
