"If you are looking for a company to build a deck for you, there really is no other choice than this one! I had never interacted with Miller Decking prior to hiring him to extend, cover and create our new deck for us. Itâ s roughly 1000 sqft. From day one, his attention to detail and his drive to build me the best quality deck possible never diminished. His ability to take our ideas and turn them into reality is second to none. My wife and I had a few â changesâ we thought of mid project and Colton acted as though it was no big deal. He didnâ t miss a beat and never once told me â I donâ t think that will workâ or â I canâ t do thatâ . He makes things happen. I truly believe that he enjoys what he does and it shows in the craftsmanship of his completed projects. Iâ ve had my deck for many months now, and I have so many compliments on how appealing it makes my house. The space is now much more usable and more importantly, safer for my toddler. If you are looking for a company to complete a project for you and you want it done fast and cheapâ ¦donâ t hire Miller Decking. If you want your project to be completed with attention to detail, be built with quality craftsmanship, and by someone that cares about your level of happiness with the finished project, hire Miller Decking. You wonâ t regret it."

"UGLY DUCKLING INTO A BEAUTIFUL SWAN If I could give TEN stars i would. Highly experienced in what Kirk Morgan and his crew does. Meticulously detailed expertise on details even offering ways to be better than I expected to be. Patiently explaining many options with pro and con. Worked Monday through Friday all day long. Consistently showed up. Corrected what the previous two contractors had messed up to bring to high quality look and structural integrity. I have recommended to people needing work done or house built and will continue to recommend to anyone I can. Wellllllll worth the money I spent. High quality workmanship and straightforward on what needs to be done Lemme change something. FIFTEEN STARS!!!!!"

"Duke is the man! Hired him to do a few things around our new house, and his services did not disappoint. He's an absolutely genuine guy, and takes pride in his work. He's honest, and sticks to the job until it's complete. He's also very creative. One of the projects we had him do was putting a cap on our chimney. It was no easy task with lots of obstacles to overcome to get the job done. His inventiveness shined through, and he figured out the best, and most affordable way to get it done. Thanks for all you've done for us, Duke!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

Most landscape timbers are 8 feet long, but some are also available in 10-foot and 12-foot lengths. Choose the length that will allow you to install landscape timbers using the least amount of cutting to fit. Shorter timbers will allow you to more easily create angles and shorter plant bed sides.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.
