When you build a deck, will the deck floor be flush with my exterior door threshold? Our standard installation is to keep the deck floor below the door threshold to prevent moisture from “wicking” into the doorframe and causing rot. We will, however, build a deck tight to the threshold when instructed by a homeowner or in applications that require full accessibility.
What type of deck boards do you use? We have three different options for decking: treated wood with stabilizers, composite. Both products offer benefits to the homeowner depending on their lifestyle, budget and individual preferences.
Can a sunroom or screened porch be built on my existing structure, such as my deck or concrete patio? Yes, but your existing structure must pass local building codes.
