When it comes to home improvement, there are some who would prefer to take a DIY approach, no matter what the project. Some enjoy the challenge of making something with their own hands and ingenuity, while others are looking for a way to save on labor costs. Here at Home & Marine Builders of Lake Norman, we understand that satisfaction that comes with building a deck yourself, but fortunately for the less DIY-inclined, we are here to give you the beautiful deck you’ve been dreaming of without your having to pick up a hammer. Even though we are highly experienced in the field, we also understand that people like to know what is happening to their homes in order to feel more secure about the process, so we’ve provided a brief overview of how deck building works so that you can follow along.
The first step in our deck building process is to finalize a design, then secure the proper building permits. Once that’s done, we’ll begin construction by laying the right foundation to support your new deck. Next, our team at Home & Marine Builders of Lake Norman will install the piers, the vertical posts that hold the deck up, and begin constructing the frame. The boards for the frame are oriented vertically, with the narrow side up, which gives the structure the necessary strength to support the horizontal planks and furniture that will rest on top of them. Will finish by installing the stairs and railings, giving you the durable, gorgeous deck that you deserve.
We at Home & Marine Builders of Lake Norman want to help you make your home the best it can be. When you need trained professionals for your deck building needs, just give us a call.
