"100% satisfied! Kyle's crew put a new tile floor down in my lanai and I could not be happier. The work was superb, his crew did a wonderful job and left the site sparkling clean. And Kyle was so easy to communicate with. He responded right away anytime I had a question. And the price was very fair. I will absolutely use Sternersen Construction for any future projects!"

"I'm happy to share my thoughts on John Munn and his company, Coastal Built Construction. I recently had the pleasure of working with John and his team on a deck rebuild project at my house, and I have to say that I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. From the very beginning of the project, John was incredibly professional and attentive to detail. He took the time to listen to my ideas and concerns, and he was always available to answer any questions I had along the way. His team was efficient and kept the job site clean and spotless. He turned a tired old deck into a brand new impressive, modern structure with a set of infinity steps across the entire thing. The end result of the project was amazing. John and his team took great care to ensure that the deck was not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound and safe for my family to use. Throughout the entire process, John was an absolute pleasure to work with. His professionalism and expertise were evident in every aspect of the project, and his dedication to his craft was truly impressive. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with John and his team, and I would not hesitate to recommend Coastal Built Construction to anyone looking for high-quality construction work. From deck building to full renovations and construction, if you're looking for a true professional that delivers exceptional results, look no further than Coastal Built Construction and John Munn!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.
