"I had peak framing put a new porch on the front of my house. They did a very good job. After a couple of days I did see a couple of things that needed to be fixed. That’s when I found out they have the best customer service. I told them what I didn’t like and they came back and took care of things. I would definitely recommend them. I plan on having them do more work for me"
"Corey and Tracy have been great to work with. They have done several projects for us now including installing laminate flooring, painting and a whole bathroom renovation. They have always gotten back to us within a timely manner and continue to be professional while on and off the job. They provide quality work within a timely manner and for an affordable cost! We highly recommend them!"
"They worked very fast! The speed of the project was impressive but the quality was yet even more surprising! They are very honest people who want to do great work!"
"I hired Donald to build a sundeck around my pool, that was in dire need of repair. Not only was he prompt and curtious, but he was very helpful and gave me suggestions that I hadn't thought of! Kudos to this company, and his attentive and helpful crew! Thank you Anointed Power!!!"
"Needed to have storm door on enclosed porch swing to inside of porch instead of out as is usual. This was to give us more room on the top deck of the handicapped ramp to open door without the wheelchair or walker rolling back down ramp. Dats called us the same morning that we listed, to set up a time to look over the job. Gave us a very fair quote. Scheduled the door replacement for the next day. They picked up the new door.then came to the house and spent about 2 hours to install the new storm door after removing old storm door. FYI could not find any storm doors that were made to to swing inward any place on the internet. Dats modified the door from outward swing to inward swing for us. They did great work and really made the house look better. Have more jobs needing done in spring when weather is better. Plan on having Dats do the work. T.L. Gillham"

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.
You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.
In most cases, there should be a small gap between the house and the deck, usually no more than ½ to ¾ of an inch. This space allows water and moisture to flow through instead of pooling against the side of your house. It also lets flashing protect your siding from runoff, which is one of the most common issues with decks.
You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen.
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.
