Finished up a Trex re-deck today.

We kept the previous railing and framing. Added extra blocking and joists, planed and leveled to fix the tolerances. Composite decking can view extremely wavy if each joist is not perfectly level.

Blocking was added to "picture frame" the deck in. No ugly scalloped ends are visible on this deck and no two boards are sandwiched together with an ugly butt joint.

Proper planning, framing and design always shows with the final product.

This afternoon I noticed a fallen flag pole. The heavy winds from the storm Monday ripped the mount out of the brick.

The client is a veteran and was grateful to have it remounted. I was completing a honey do list. Nothing fancy or picture worthy. Shelf brackets, light bulbs, sealant on windows, shutters and glad to throw this in at the end. Thankful for the many clients that entrust me in their house and give me the opportunity to help.

Not all projects go as smooth as you hope.
This one ran into a few issues but was able to rectify and finish it up strong!

The Gel stain door was not holding up well, the new Southwood Mahogony door adds extra curb appeal! Flemish glass adds privacy while letting the natural light in. Thankful for great clients!

A before and after- waiting on flooring and trim to be completed.

This dated insert tub was difficult to enter and a safety risk for the clients.

Using Onyx shower system, you can chose numerous colored panels, designs, niches and benches. 3 curb heights and even a curbless option.

Made and manufactured in Kansas- I love this system and highly recommend for a low maintenance shower. No grout to clean!

Rotten siding no more!

Removed this water trap and gave it some air. Fresh flashing, removed rotten sheathing and new LP Smartside. Oil based primer on all cut ends- this siding is here to last!

Also rebuild the stair and a few deck boards.

Some cedar siding repair and touch up paint- what a beautiful spring day!

As we get older, our balance naturally changes, making wet bathroom surfaces one of the biggest hazards in the home. Adding a grab bar is one of the smartest, most effective ways to prevent serious falls and maintain independence.
But here is the most important thing to know about grab bars: they are only as safe as what they are attached to. Suction cups or standard drywall anchors are dangerous because they can easily pull out when you put your full weight on them. A true safety bar must be anchored directly into the wooden wall studs behind the wall.
Finding those studs behind thick ceramic tile and cement backer board is usually the hardest part of the job. To get it right, I use a specialized, high-tech stud finder that uses deep-scanning technology to read straight through the tile.

In the first picture, you can see where I used blue tape to mark the exact center of the studs hidden behind the wall. This takes the guesswork out of the equation. It means no cracked tiles and, most importantly, a rock-solid, secure hold that someone can actually trust with their full body weight.
If you or an aging parent are looking into adding grab bars, always make sure they are anchored directly into the framing!
