Grab Your Seat: Build a Custom Deck Start-To-Finish

Whether you’re looking to deliver more value for your clients or wanting to build a high-quality deck for your own family or friends, building a deck can a really rewarding building project, especially as more people are looking to better integrate outdoor spaces into the home. But there are a lot of components to consider, such as layout, materials, critical connections, and safe guardrails, if you want your finished project to be the kind of quality that will serve you or your clients for many seasons.
This is why we’re launching the “Build a Custom Deck Start to Finish” course. This three-week intensive course will ensure you walk away from your next deck project with pride, knowing it was done right, that your time and money was well-spent, and that your project will endure.
