"Built to Last Construction was recommended to my husband and me by his brother. They remodeled my bother-in law's kitchen and built him a beautiful deck, which is featured on their website at https://www.b2lconstruction.com. We hired them to remodel our kitchen. It turned out beautiful. Tom even built pull out drawers for my cupboard panty and added a heat vent along the floor. The extra time and detail they took to get it just right was amazing. I recommended them to a friend who is keeping them busy with projects at her home. My friend recommended them to someone else who has had a hard time finding someone to update her deck. She will not be disappointed."

"Had some difficulty connecting initially because the answering machine wasn't working, so I used the e-mail on Angie's list to explain that situation and why I wanted to talk directly to someone.  The response was above and beyond what I would expect.  Turns out there was some problem with their phone provider and my reporting this in my e-mail was greatly appreciated and let to it being corrected.  Though I was told in the e-mail I did not have to be home for the inspection, I explained that some dry wall in the garage had fallen, and I wanted to make sure there was no active leak before repairing the drywall.  We had a previous leak repaired.  I was told that if I could not be home when the inspector was going to be in my neighborhood, she would arrange a special time since I did need to be home.  I thought that was exceptional.  Turns out I was able to be home after all.
After the inspection, i was told that there is no leak from the roof at this time, and, in fact, the roof is in good condition.
He did indicate the Big Deal called for a single story roof, and I have two, but he said he would do it anyway.  At first this sounded really good, but I was left wondering if the inspection was quite as thorough as if I didn't have two levels.  I am only saying this because another contractor who was out for something else afterwards, did point out a couple of areas that might need caulking or minor repairs.  Since I am not a contractor, I cannot say what is correct.  I did feel that the inspection was rather quick for the size of our roof.  So, since nothing was recommended to do, I can't really appropriately rate the workmanship.  I can only say that the willingness of this company to work around my schedule was a positive sign about their relationship with their customers.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

Many people say the best composite decking is Trex, TimberTech, or Fiberon. These brands have formulated composite deck boards to withstand the elements and hold up over time. Each offers a range of product lines varying in durability, price, and appearance. Compare their different composite decking offers for cost, looks, and features before deciding on a product.

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.

Space deck handrail posts four to six feet apart. If the posts are more than six feet apart, the railing will be less able to withstand lateral forces and is more susceptible to breaking. Additionally, railing posts that are more than six feet apart may not be up to code, and you may face fines and be required to reinstall the posts to bring them up to code.
