Sounds good. *Burgers on the grill for us tonight.

We can finally use our deck tonight and cook out. * Our 13 year old
cedar deck was beat up and I got tired of trying to maintain it. * We
had the flooring replaced with Eon Ultra deck boards and Trex railing.
The contractor started on Monday and finished the decking and railing

So..........we can now use the deck and it looks great!

I've been thinking of replacing the deck on our house - been looking
into the same deck boards and railing.

Don't know if I want to do it myself though.

You do not want to do it yourself if you want professional looking
results. The guys doing our job were certified by Eon and Trex as
neither the decking or railing are a simple installation like wood is.

Eon decking was rated best by Consumer Reports testing in a variety of
categories. Mechanical fasteners are used below the deck face with no
fasteners used on the face of the decking resulting in a very clean
look. Our contractor upgraded us to Ultra (heavier) at no cost.

Hire a good Amish carpentry crew and relax. They know wood, even ersatz
wood, they show up on time, clean up after themselves, they don't drink,
they don't smoke, they don't do drugs, and they don't steal. Union
contractors around here won't touch small-scale individual residential
work, like a deck,so when I need carpentry work, I contact one of the
elders.


Can you recommend a Amish carpentry crew in the CT, MA area?

There aren't any.

I did have an experience with an Amish barn crew though - that was
incredible. I bought a old post and beam barn at an auction - barn
and contents - and looked around for a crew to disassemble the barn
and rebuild it. One of the local farmer's recommended a crew out of
Pennsylvania.

After all the prep work on the new foundation was done, I called these
guys - they gave me a great quote - deal done.

Torn down, transported and the skeleton back up on the new foundation
the same day. Barn sides and roofed the next - done.

Amazing.

Wood? We don't need no stinking wood.

Hell, I could install a wood deck but the problem is the older you get
the less maintenance you want.

Wood decks are a PITA.

Can't be that hard - my next door neighbor did his deck with it and
he's a half-wit. :)

Came out pretty good.

Besides wanting a professional looking result I am at the point in my
life where I hire professional contractors to do the big house
projects I used to do.

I constructed 2 wood decks......with the first taking close to the
entire summer because I was out of town just about every week. It
was a bi-level beauty wrapping around 2 oak trees and was pretty big.
No more deck building for me.

The only projects I will now do myself are minor fix-up things.
Other than that...........I get quotes from 3-4 professional
contractors having good credentials and customer reviews.
