- The above picture is a building we looked at repairing (built in the 90’s).

- All wood, no matter the treatment used will rot over time.

- Once your posts are rotted, your building is compromised and must be repaired.

- Keep Wood Out Of The Ground With Concrete Pier System Brackets

- How will your building look in 5-10 years? If your builder doesn’t use Kynar paint, it will eventually look like the above image.

- Kynar (PVDF) is the best paint coating on the market to protect against fading and chalking.

- If you damage a SMP panel that’s faded and replace it with a new one, you will have a stripe to look at forever.

- Unless your builder has your best interest in mind, they will never share this with you.

-All Foundations Are NOT Created Equal.

- Don’t take our word for it, here’s a building that failed (YouTube link below) using pre-cast piers vs. our Concrete Pier System Brackets

- Don’t Cut Corners on the Most Important Part of Your Building.

- As a carpenter, we are always looking for better ways to build. We’ve Used Our Field Experience to Tailor Our Trims for a Better Overall Appearance.

- Left Image (Stock J-Channel), Right (Our Custom Painted Inside J-Channel). This Eliminates the White Color on the Inside of the Trim and Maximizes Aesthetics.

- Over the Years We’ve Refined and Customized Our Trims to Maximize Aesthetics and Performance.

- Example - Increased F&J and Wainscot Trim Dimensions to Better Conceal Cut Edges of the Steel.

- Knee Braces are the 2×6 Braces That Connect Between the Columns/Posts and the Trusses.

- Knee Braces are Structurally Required on Pole-Barns Unless Your Builder Designs Your Building to Eliminate them.

- All of Our Buildings Eliminate Knee-Braces Through the Use of Taller Truss Heels.

This is an Additional Expense, but it’s Well Worth the Investment as They Detract from the Overall Utility and Aesthetics of Your Shop.

- We Attend the Annual NFBA, and NADRA Deck Builders Trade Show Every Year to Stay Up to Date with the Latest in Building Materials.

- This Year We Were one of the 1st Builders to use Plyco’s New Klik-Fit Trim (Shown Above).

- Because We’re Not a National Pole-Barn Builder, we Have the Flexibility to be able to Adapt to the Latest Innovations in Building Materials.

- New to the Industry We’ve Added Textured Metal to Our Available Options.

- Unlike Smooth Panels, Textured Paint Has a Matte’d Finish Which Does a Great Job of Reducing Oil-Canning.

- We Offer 2 Options of Steel on All of Our Buildings.

- 29-Gauge (Standard)

- 26-Gauge (Optional) - 26% Thicker

- In Conjunction with Textured Paint, Thicker Metal Does a Better Job of Reducing Oil Canning.

-Treated lumber always varies in size/shape.

-Composite/PVC decking will show any imperfections in the flatness of the framing.

-If not corrected, you will see waves in the finished decking surface.

-Planing the joists takes longer, but it’s worth it to ensure the highest quality finished product.

- Composite & PVC Decking has warranties of 50 years, but will your deck frame last that long?

- Without protection, your deck framing will fail long before the decking.

- We use FastenMaster Deck Frame Coating to protect your deck framing adding years of life to your deck.

- We go the extra mile to ensure you have the highest quality finished product that will last in our harsh environment.

-Railing Package - Stock Regal Ideas Aluminum Railing

- Optional Upgrade - Integrated LED Lighting (Colors - White, Blue, Gold)

- Railing Colors - White, Bronze, Black

- Custom Picture Frame Border - Standard

- Any Larger Decks Wider Than 20’ Come Use Breaker Board Dividers to Eliminate Butt Joints

- All Stair Treads Are Mitered to Hide Cut Edges

- The days of concrete footings are a thing of the past in the deck building industry.

- Both Helical Piers & Diamond Piers are the best Code Compliant Option for a Number of Reasons.

- No lawn damage from excavation

- Quick Install - Don’t have to wait for an inspection before construction can begin.

- Can be installed in freezing weather or when the ground is frozen

- Pressure Treated LVL’s can span further distances than traditional dimensional lumber.

- By spanning longer distances, we are able to eliminate footings saving on labor and cost.

- Example - The above deck is 22’ feet wide and is supported with 2 footings and (3) 14” LVL’s.
