We are a family owned and operated company that loves to meet the needs of our customers. We do projects as large as complete home building (we have bluerprints/designs to choose from) and as small as building a deck or any other small remodeling project. Most of our customer base has been strictly from referrals. We stand apart from most other construction/contracting companies because we treat our customers, big or small, just like our close family and friends. We take pride in a job well done!

"Excellent work, communication and employes. Would definitely hire again and highly recommend!"

I have been in the construction field for over 4 years now. Specializing in floor installation, painting, renovating bathroom/kitchen, roof and decking. I was a police officer for over 13 years in Florida but have decided to follow my skills and interests in construction since we have relocated to this wonderful area.

Decks and Porches questions, answered by experts

While building your deck, you might come across something called the four-inch sphere rule. Essentially, this railing requirement for a deck states that a four-inch ball should not be able to fit through any gap in the deck railings. The gap between spindles and between the decking and the bottom of the railing must be less than four inches to prevent small children or pets from squeezing through the gap.

Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a termite infestation. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.

Rot loves moisture, so deck rot typically impacts the parts of a board that stay wet. This includes the underside of boards, in addition to support posts and joists. However, any part of a board can rot, given the right conditions. 

If you notice standing water under the deck after rainstorms, you may need a drainage system to efficiently move this water. You do not want standing water to rest against your foundation or against support posts for the deck, as this could cause significant structural problems over time. Make sure the area has proper grading, too.

You can’t fix warped composite decking boards, but you can replace them so your deck surface is no longer warped. For more severely warped decks, especially those with damaged joists or support beams, you’ll need a pro to inspect the deck and recommend whether you should replace the structure or repair the damage.
