ARTICLE:
"Deck Building Ledger - The Secrets to Successful Deck Construction"

This article provides step by step instructions on Building a Deck which starts with your deck building ledger. The first step in deck building is choosing your lumber. Ideally, the ledger board should be free of ingrown knots and flaws, or at least only have very small knots. It is recommended that you use vertical grain board for the ledger. It is less prone to warping and cupping. Learn how to identify vertical grain board and flat grain board. You should use pressure treated lumber, unless you are building a top quality deck made out of only redwood or cedar. Also discussed in this article is the positioning of the deck building ledger - allowing space for surface deck boards and a step down from the door. Finally, discover the proper methods of fitting and attaching the ledger board. If attached at the right level and perfectly horizontal, you have the beginnings of a great deck design for your home in Rockford, Illinois.

Reviews:
Easton Painting is extremely flexible with timing and prompt. The quote was reasonable and timely and 'no pressure' tactics. The finished job was excellent! To give you an idea - the job was the entire upstairs of a large old farmhouse with several years of neglect. Just as important as the finished work, the time they spent in our home was all I could ask of a professional. They were prompt, gave updates each day as to progress , and cleaned up after themselves each day! The entire process with Easton was a pleasure. We'll do again.
