Our blog contains useful information pertaining to the deck industry. We make every effort to update it as frequently as possible. We also try to keep the topics on a local level following the Kansas City market trends. Weather, suppliers, and building products are some of the more common topics we discuss.

That’s because we try to stay in tune with the latest building trends, codes, and products. However, please keep in mind that different regions may vary greatly in construction methods, IRC code adaptation, and types of building products being used.
