We build decks that are meant to last. Our framing standards exceed the standards of local codes, and we use over-sized fasteners to ensure that your deck will be around for years to come.\u00a0 Don’t settle for a deck that is spartan, utilitarian, and unsightly. Let us custom-build the outdoor living area of your dreams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>

Quality Decking<\/h3>\t\t\t

There’s no way to make a premium deck without quality decking. We install everything from #1 Grade 5\/4″ treated pine to exotic hardwoods such as Ipe and Yellow Balau. Exotic hardwoods are expensive, the return on your investment is a beautiful, natural deck that will outlast several generations of standard pine decking.<\/p>\n

We also use a variety of synthetic materials. Some of today’s synthetic decking materials are durable and long-lasting, some are not. We will help you navigate the available product to ensure you’re choosing a product that will last. Spending more on a beautiful product that will outlast the competition makes sense; spending more for something that will deteriorate in a short period of time does not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>

One Size Bigger: The Way We Build It.<\/h3>\t\t\t

The Internation Residential Code Council designates the minimum framing and fastener sizes for a given span or load. Building to meet these minimums can leave your deck feeling flimsy or weak. At Gerard Home Services, we follow a “one-size-bigger” philosophy. We exceed the minimum standards by at least one size on every every deck we build. For instance, if building codes requires a 2X8, we install a 2X10; if the code calls for a 1\/2″ lag bolt, we install a 5\/8″ lag bolt .\u00a0 The cost difference is minimal (usually 5% to 10%), but the sturdiness of the final project is substantial. You’ll appreciate knowing that you’ve got the strongest deck on the block. We’ll appreciate knowing that your happy with our work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>
