"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

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.

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.

The overhang, or nosing, of deck steps is another area that will be covered in building code requirements. The noses on your deck steps should have a minimum overhang of ¾ inch. For safety, usability, and code compliance, the nosing of deck steps should not extend past 1¼ inches.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area.
