We love building decks. It is a combination of structural work and finish carpentry and it involves big lumber and often, fine finishes. If you are really a carpenter you should love building decks, too. We maintain a number of standards when building decks that exceed basic building code requirements. For instance, we always flash any substantial wood to wood contact areas with a waterproof membrane. This is because wood swells when it gets wet and any large wood to wood contact areas will retain water for months at a time, perhaps even all year round if the area gets impacted with dirt.
Exterior work is a lot of where New england Craftsmanship comes in. No it's doesn't snow here in Oakland but we take care to ensure proper waterproofing and ventilation. We also take pains to ensure that trim details blend well at the edges and that the proportions are pleasing to the eye.
