McCoy used uncoated lag bolts on pressure treated lumber and didn?t seat many of the beams on the posts, relying instead on fasteners to hold them in place. Two of the bolts holding the main beam in place aren?t even fully seated. He missed a lot of nails in fastening the subfloor to the joists (the subfloor is supposed to be glued and screwed to the subfloor if ceramic tile is to be installed) and the subfloor is uneven in many places, which will require more expensive self-leveling thinset to properly complete the tile installation. During eight days of construction, he had three different workers helping him and none were properly supervised. What we got was a deck with mismatched joints, crude saw cuts, out-of-plumb rail posts, crooked rail pickets, half-driven nails, warped decking and rails with filled with knot holes, and uneven riser heights.
This guy holds himself out through his website [web link removed] as an expert in deck construction, yet he isn?t even licensed, which means he isn?t bonded or insured. Despite spending almost $24,000 on this project, we did not get our money?s worth, due largely to Mr. McCoy and his substandard construction methods. Now it will cost even more to correct these mistakes. I?d file a LLR complaint if I thought the additional effort and expense would offer any relief. But since he wasn?t licensed in the first place, there?s little LLR can do. So I post this review in hopes of helping others avoid our fate.
