"Brock just finished installing four interior doors in our house. Excellent work! Complete clean up when he finished. Great communication leading up to work day. I would definitely recommend Brock for your home construction project, he knows what he's doing and has a great work ethic!"

"Good people who are easy to deal with.  Framing, siding and non-finish work are their strong suits.  Fit and finish are sub-par.  Attention to detail was hit and miss; some of the misses were very significant in nature.  Job site clean up was not great and the project ran beyond the completion date by more than two months, one week of this was due to a customer change order.  The finished product is sound, passed all inspections without failure and looks good until you examine the details up close.  If you demand high quality fit & finish be sure and put the details in writing up front to avoid disappointment.  Leave no detail out when it comes to materials, no matter how small it may be, right down to the fasteners.  If you are unable to participate at this level, find a higher-end custom home builder who will spend the time necessary on details; it will cost you more of course.  It all comes down to your budget and priorities.

"Noah has done two projects for us. First, he power washed our decks, repaired entry deck and built new steps for the deck. The second project was to construct a place for garden tools. He did this by adding to a shed. After telling him what we wanted, he drew the plans and gave us an estimate of the cost (which we felt was reasonable). Noah works with accuracy, speed, efficiency and cleans up his mess!"

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

Before installing a new railing, check the condition of the deck frame and joists, especially around the perimeter where posts attach. If boards are loose, soft, or show signs of rot, the structure may need repair. A deck pro can inspect your framing to confirm it meets load-bearing requirements.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

Both composite and PVC decking are excellent alternatives to wood. However, while composite is moderately priced and lasts around 30 years, PVC costs more and lasts longer. PVC is also more durable, though both materials are more durable than wood decking. Ultimately, the choice between composite and PVC decking will come down to your budget and preferences.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
