How We Build Decks the Right Way

At Right Hand, building a deck isn’t just about wood and screws—it’s about lasting quality, smart design, and total trust. Here’s how we do it differently:

🔨 Craftsmanship That Holds Up

Most decks start to wobble or rot within a few years. Ours don’t.

  • Ground-contact-rated lumber: We only use premium pressure-treated lumber where it counts. There is a difference between ground contact and plain pressure treated lumber.

  • Proper post anchoring: We dig deep and set every post right, so your deck doesn’t shift or sink. Minimum of 24” of depth- it’s a little more sweat and a lot more life.

  • Screwed, not just nailed: Screws hold longer, resist pull-out, and keep boards flush.

📐 Design That Fits You—and Your Home

No cookie-cutter layouts here.

  • We tailor every deck to fit your lifestyle, yard, and budget.

  • We consider traffic flow, shade, furniture placement, and sight lines.

  • Want a built-in bench? Pergola? Hidden storage? We make it happen.

🧰 Structure You Can Trust

It’s what’s underneath that counts.

  • Ledger properly flashed to prevent rot where your house meets the deck.

  • Joists spaced for strength, not shortcuts. Expect 12”-16” spacing. Many will cut materials and labor time by doing 24”.

  • Railings that don’t wiggle, built to exceed code and feel solid under hand.

🔍 Attention to the Little Things

You might not notice at first glance—but you’ll feel the difference every day.

  • Board spacing that drains well but feels smooth underfoot.

  • Clean cuts, tight miters, and a layout that shows real pride.

  • Fasteners placed cleanly and consistently, not haphazardly blasted in.
