A deck should feel like a floor, not a trampoline. Here is how I build them.
You want a deck you can put a grill, a table and ten people on without thinking twice. That comes down to what is underneath it.
So that is where I start: solid footings, a real beam, joists at the right spacing. Then the decking, stairs and railings go on top.
The person who prices your deck is the person who builds it. No rotating crew, no “the other guy said.” Just a solid deck and a clean yard when I leave.
The Work
Framing first, decking second. Tap any photo to see it full size.
Questions
Yes. The old deck comes off and a new one goes on. If anything underneath is rotten, it gets replaced, not covered up.
Yes. The covered porch in the photos above was built across the front of a new house.
Soft boards, wobbly railings and loose stairs are covered under general carpentry.
