Deck builders near me When looking for a quality deck, there are several things to consider. Is the contractor you chose a real Carpenter? Or is your contractor just a salesman who will sell you deck building services, and then look for the real guys like us? This is the first thing that you should look for. The next thing you want to ask your contractor is what materials are they going to use, and what joist sizes they will use. Josh brooks construction and renovation only uses the best decking available, weather it be trex decking, like the deck pictured above, or a timbertech deck, or any other quality brand. Also, there are various grades of the quality decking, for instance, a decks edge board bought at home depot is the lowest possible quality edge board, even though it is a trex. As far as the joists go, you should ask your contractor if they shim and shave the joists to create a perfectly level deck, or do they just slam them in place, which creates a wavy deck surface. Also, you should ask your contractor if they use joist tape to create a water tight seal, not only for the sake of longevity of your joists, but also for continued safety of your home's deck,especially if it is elevated,above ground. Another point you can express to your contractor is the need for handrails, and if they are nessasary, and what type of handrails should be used. We like to use the aluminum handrails, as they are strong, and do not rust. The aluminum handrails are also maintenance free, and look great. Another great question to ask your contractor is price. Any honest contractor is going to be in the price range of 65 dollars per square foot without handrails, upwards of 150 dollars per square foot, depending upon the handrails materials, hidden fasteners, and color coated screws will be used, or if you choose to have the caps installed over the screws to hide them. All of these things are various factors in price range. Also, you must consider price and quality. If you don't care about quality, call the cheap guy. If you care about quality, your best bet is to go with the middle of the road priced guy.
