My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Can you build over a old brick patio or have to take it up?

    Hi Mike,

    The deck is approximately 12" off the ground. Each level is approximately 6" in height. You can build over an old brick patio. However, you will need to remove a few of the bricks where you need to install your new pier footings to support the new deck structure.

    Beautiful deck. Looks like ipe. My borough inspector would make me put a handrail wherever there are 3 steps or more.
