    The new deck is beautiful… what did it cost? I'm still not clear on how they replaced decking under the sunroom, did they disassemble and reassemble it?

    This tells you why "flippers" shouldn't be allowed to renovate and sell houses. As the homeowner they frequently can do repairs without inspection and many have absolutely no idea what they're doing.

    What a disater that was averted 😂

    Yes you need connectors to prevent uplift! you know the deck was not done properly, first time, Yet you still set on the original piers! Where I live, the engineer submits his specs to the building dept. upon they're approval, A licensed contractor then builds the deck to specs. then the deck stands the test of time, and local environmental challenges!

    Ladies and gentlemen, I know there's a lot of individuals out there who want to be Carpenters on the weekend and do their own thing but from experience I can tell you it pays off to pay someone who is reputable and knows what they're doing and get the job done and done right on a timely basis and it's actually worth the money

    for many years now I never rely on the structure for support, only for stability.

    Have you considered that the original client may have been partially sighted ? Why would the contractors have been paid otherwise ? !

    AND THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE CODES AND WHY THEY GET MORE STRICT EVERY YEAR!

    Ledgers are for when you absolutely, positively can’t do freestanding.

    One thing that bothers me with your installation is, at 3:03 I can see the tops of your footings aren't very far above ground level -perhaps, actually at ground level. I guess it might be okay here because of the location, but if it's in a flat area, and there is poor drainage, and you get big storms, puddles of water will reach the posts and wick up into the wood.
    You did make a fine looking deck though. 🙂

    Wouldn't pass code in Georgia. This guy is on YouTube telling people the wrong way to build a deck. I can't get into everything but the most important thing is that the new post and the post going to the ground are one solid post

    The ledger is where a poorly constructed deck fails. If I don't see flashing there, I already know there is a problem..
    Thanks for pointing that out for the people. Thanks Deck Remodelers, it is appreciated.!

    A "DISATER"????? WTF

    Your video's title needs repair with the word disater…

    Awesome work. As a long time Deck Restorer and having been trained in home inspection and the school of common sense, I am blown away by how many unsafe decks are out there. Any family gathering pic, prom or wedding group is an invitation for disaster and litigation.

    I don't even like seeing decks nailed that are facing the southern sun. Keep the awareness going!. Joel M. owner of http://www.DeckResurrect.com in Maryland & Delaware's Eastern Shore
