"Built to Last Construction was recommended to me by a friend who had them remodel her kitchen. First I hired them to paint a steep stairway to the upstairs, along with the upstairs landing (built their own scaffolding) and install railings. Their work was very professional and I can't belief how good it looks! Next I had them completely remodeled the bathroom in coordination with a plumber and electrician. Tom and his wife Ann went shopping with me for bathroom fixtures but because the bathroom is so small nothing seemed like it was going to work out. Tom actually ended up building a linen cabinet, sink base and medicine cabinet with a lighted mirror to fit. The quality of the wood and workmanship is outstanding! I am also hiring them for other projects. They are always very thorough and kept me informed on all aspects of the projects. I recommended them to a friend who has had a hard time finding someone to update her deck. She will not be disappointed."

"I can t say enough great things about my deck project completed by Dustin, Dave, and the crew at Bear Builders of Michigan. They were excellent from start to finish. They set realistic deadlines for each part of the project to be completed, including final completion and met or finished ahead of each scheduled deadline. They brought every aspect of our design to life. The deck looks exactly like we envisioned. Dave (the builder) is AWESOME! His attention detail is AMAZING! He really no stone unturned. Dustin s communication was OUTSTANDING! He touched base with us every step of the way. Each aspect of the project was carefully explained to ensure our understanding. He even went the extra mile to make some minor repairs to our front porch that he noticed were problematic. I really can t say enough good things regarding how happy I am with the outcome of our deck project. We have received tons of compliments and inquiries on the deck already and it s only been a week since it was completed. If you re looking for an awesome company with awesome people to bring you project to life HIRE BEAR BUILDERS OF MICHIGAN NOW!"

"Rusty was incredible to work with and I have been referring him to everyone I know. After searching for a reliable service and requesting quotes, Rusty was the only company that got back to me within the same day of my request, coming out to my home, working around my schedule to provide me a detailed consult which led to expanding services from my gutters to restoring my deck. Rusty and his crew take care to complete the work well and timely, requesting feedback and providing updates along the way. I couldn't be more pleased and will refer to him again for any future projects."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Floating decks are a cost-effective and versatile option, but they come with some compromises. Since they sit on smaller footings instead of being deeply anchored, they’re more likely to shift over time, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or freeze-thaw conditions. Their low-to-the-ground design makes them more susceptible to moisture buildup and potential water damage.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.
