"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

Typically, most residential wooden decks are designed to support approximately 40 pounds per square foot, including the deck’s weight and any items placed on it. While this is fine for typical use, it is usually not enough to hold the weight of a hot tub filled with water and people. To safely support a hot tub, your wood deck will likely require reinforcement. Therefore, it’s best to have a contractor or a structural engineer assess it before hot tub installation.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

The best base materials for a ground-level or floating deck are typically gravel and crushed stone (also known as landscaping rocks). These options are inexpensive, provide excellent drainage, prevent weeds, and help minimize moisture buildup, which reduces shifting and rotting. For added stability and to evenly distribute the weight, you can use concrete deck blocks or pavers. While more expensive, concrete blocks and pavers offer a sturdier base than gravel or crushed stone alone.

It depends on the type of wood. The average cost to build a deck out of pressure-treated lumber is $15 to $25 per square foot, but more affordable varieties such as bamboo and cedar cost less at around $3 to $10 per square foot. However, when comparing the cost of vinyl decking versus wood decking, it’s important to also consider ongoing maintenance costs. For example, most woods require regular sealing to keep them protected against weather and rot.

Yes, snow should be removed from a deck to protect it from damage caused by moisture and heavy loads. Shovel the snow off of your deck regularly once it is more than four inches deep. Avoid using salt, which can damage your deck.
