I’m here August 2024 about to build our deck and this video is so informative and detailed! We’ve rewatched it a number of times and absolutely appreciate everything you shared! Thank you so much
Awesome! Thank you!
I felt like I had a good understanding of building a deck but I found this series while looking for tips since its been a couple decades since my last deck build. Ive got to say this series about deck building is the most informative and detailed video series out there for building a deck start to finish. All the small tips and things to consider along the build really helped my project. Even though I think I know how to build a deck, I feel like I learned a lot and want to say thank you for such a great job in this series.
If you work for Milwaukee or Dewalt, out there, please sponsor this hardworking guy videos, one of the most informative home improvement Chanel out there for sure.
This is honestly the best and most straight forward video on making stair stringers I've ever seen. Building my own steps always scared me on projects and I usually just bought the pre-cut ones from the box stores when available, but recently had a project that required taller steps and different sized than the pre-made ones. I literally just drew up and cut my first 6 stringers in probably 1 hr or less, saved a ton of money on doing it myself (precuts are insanely expensive..) and was so easy I would never think of doing it another way again. You've literally taught me a lifelong skill in less than a hour, and I thank you a million times over for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
Use a precut for a jig then take it back
People can be talented. But not everyone can teach others. That’s a skill in itself. Very well put.
What I like about your videos is the fact you show how you work around issues that come up. I know that every project has some snafus, but you are the only one who shows what can go wrong and how your work around them. That’s as valuable for me as the video itself. It keeps me thinking not only about the next step but also some of the pitfalls. Thanks for “Keeping It Real”
Shannon I am a retired GC from Calif. With 37 years in residential construction and 60 years around home building. It is such a pleasure to see a craftsman with pride in his work and a work ethic like yours. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. You restore my faith in the craft in craftsmanship.
Thank you for the kind words and respect
Yes sir! You show what construction and building should be.
I love it when you run into trouble as I would in real life. Other shows show everything going perfect, as if the world were like that. It shows me the troubleshooting you go through and I learn more. Thanks! You’re the man!
Shannon you are an excellent teacher, which, as a former teacher myself is my highest compliment. I love the fact that you put in mistakes and how you deal with them. Excellent job and keep on doing these videos!
Thank you Shannon, another job well done. I appreciate you since other contractors would charge $6,000 to install this stairs and rail. Its very unfair of them to over charge their customers. Your the best Shannon. I learned a lot from you.
Glad it was helpful!
As a contractor I can feel your pain when you are finished with the project and the "homeowner" wants more. You seem to handle every issue with respect and as a professional. Thank you sir.
By far your explanations are the best anywhere I can find. I find your work and skills extremely professional and educational. Thank you
You are truly the best contractor on You Tibe. I have watched every episode that deals with a new home improvement we've done at our house. You explain everything do smoothly. love to watch your videos Shannon!
Great series, really enjoyed them! Also appreciate that you don't edit out the little bits that don't go according to plan - seeing how you deal with them is where the real learning is :-)
Tim Elley Totally agree!. Lot of respect for a skilled yet down to earth tradesman sharing his knowledge.
I came here to post the same comment Tim already did. So, I'll just add, that I really enjoy your Videos!
Gotta go, watch the next series!!
agreed!!
Agreed! That helps a lot, not editing out what can go wrong!
its fun watching someone fumble through a deck as much as I did. great video.
I have been watching your projects for long time I never get tired of watching thanks for putting this content on RUclips.
Thanks for watching!
I watch your video and that's a self-employed journeyman carpenter here I would like to say I am very impressed with your skills and knowledge. It was nice to watch a Craftsman do what he does
Electrician here, have to build a small platform and stairs from a back door. I found your videos very helpful, thanks for taking the time to make them. 👍
Since this was eight years ago I don't know if you will see this, but I have watched hundreds of these videos and you are the first person I have seen that knows what you're doing! Very nice job down to the smallest detail. I see people through bolt a beam on the side of a post almost a hundred percent of the time. They never say what the fasteners are made of and I picture 30 drunk people 8 feet in the air crashing to their deck when the bolts fail or act as a splitting wedge!
Very nice deck. Built with such care and craftsmanship. Great job! This Old House should add you to their staff.
Shannon, you’re the man! Thank you for showing every step and tricks you have learned along the way to make jobs easier, more efficient, and less frustrating. Keep being you bud!
Pllk
I use Shannon method it was so much easier and it’s looking good .
That part about a sloping surface and what to do with the stringers was a big . I’ve got that exact issue with asphalt and wasn’t sure what to do. Thanks 🙏
You explain stuff so well. I think of questions and you end up answering them. You would be an OUTSTANDING teacher or mentor. Really wish i had someone like you to show me the ropes. I could take info from these videos and apply them but its not the same as working with someone who knows and can show you in person.
thank you
You pretty much showed us how to build an entire deck all by yourself. I'll have to watch this series a few more times to really absorb everything you showed us but this definitely gives me the confidence to try it one day.
Shannon, I don't usually comment on any videos but I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the detailed information and the fact the you don't edit much... It makes me think that your work is authentic and meticulous. Thanks for being genuine. It's refreshing and I look forward to watching many more videos from Houseimprovements.
Thank you , we try to keep even the "screw ups" in the videos because in real life these happen and its helpful to know how to work around them as well.
Great instructional series of videos Shannon. I watched all 6 twice and a few years ago I built my entry deck using the same balusters. They're easy to work with and look great when completed. Just recently, I redid my backyard deck with the same balusters, and it looks great. I got lots of compliments from my neighbors and it brought my deck up to date and here in Washington, they're holding up to the weather just fine. I actually was able to build my steps as well. Thanks for your help.
This video is very helpful and showed me in details. I am rebuilding my stairs and rails at front porch. I don't know how and never done it before. Now I learned a lot. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Really clear and useful guide, without wasteful chit-chat or obstructive music! I will be looking for other House-Improvements.com videos. Thank you!
Very good job. you showed that there can be issues with putting deck stairs and handrails...even for experienced people.
Just a great presentation. One thing that stands out is the honesty you bring to your projects. Like anyone and everyone who works with their hands, occasionally you will find yourself occasionally having to backtrack if only slightly because of a minor oversight. It’s critical your viewers see and understand this as a part of it all and not to get discouraged. Aside from all that your explanations are done in a relaxed and easy to follow manner. In short…tip top! 👍👌
GREAT VIDEOS…you are fantastic teacher!!!!
just found these and loving the learning. these are really truly the best videos ive seen. Hope youre doing well Shannon!
Glad you like them!
Building a deck in 2021, I've done this a few times, but your videos are great for a refresher.
Hi Shannon! Just a tip, when cutting your stringers I think it will make your life easier if you cut all the treads in one direction then come back and and cut the risers. It saves time!
he did that when they showed it sped up
Great demo. I'd say the stairs are the trickiest part of this deck building. Thank you Shannon.
I HATE MAKING STAIRS! But, with this great video and I can watch it again and again.... stopping, slowing or backing up.... and I think I will be able to make some stairs for our front entryway deck at the Beach. Thanks Shannon!!
Geez.. you make stringer cutting look so easy. Thanks for the tips!
Very helpful, thank you
Great tips and approach Shannon...helped alot
I just watched your video on how to build stairs, and I must say I am very empress with your workmanship and your attention to detail is excellent. I am glad I had a chance to see your work. 👍👍👍👍
I built my first deck based on your series and it went nicely. I appreciated a lot your honest opinion. The introductions given before any major tasks is crucial to understand how decisions are made. Well done.
Glad you had such great success.
you cant imagine how much I appreciate this video helps me to remember a lot that I have learned in which my hubby taught me. he has taught me everything from the roofing to the basement on general repairs. But its been awhile... so much comes back quickly and some I have forgotten about.this surely helps me feel more confident in doing this type of repair if the need arises I also agree with Doug Broadhurst Thank you
THANK YOU ...I am no master carpenter by any means and
I am doing my first deck...
Your tips are VERY helpful.
enjoy learning new tips on doing my decks from you. easy understanding and explanations,
Great Video, Shows how a normal person could work through common issues. Would like to see how to build steps coming off a corner of a deck.
this is my third stairs "how to" video and again your videos are by far better than any. great step by step explanations. straight to the point.
you're videos rule, you show a lot more than i have ever seen in 25 years of watching bob vila and tom silva. thanks for lesson on stringers, i can now repair my stairs on my deck. :)
Thanks for the compliment
you're welcome, keep up the great work :)
Please don't try to make stairs .
It's hard. Use a professional!
Its not that hard and you can buy prebuilt runners if thats the issue.
What a great job and details thank you so much
I just built a pool deck and had to make stairs for the first time. This video helped a ton and was exactly what I needed. It turned out great! Thanks man!
professional and educational. Thank you
Fair price for such a good built deck. You can not go wrong with the cost if the home owner can build it.
Thanks Shannon.
Thanks for leaving the problems in the video. It's the solutions to those problems that are really valuable to us DIY-ers.
In the future if you wish to hide the cross bolts in the mounting box try laying out your stairs first, then remove them and install the mounting box first, then install the actual post then reinstall the stairs. Makes it easier to pull the tabs out, access them and install the cross bolts that squeeze the post. For aesthetics, hiding the bolts is always the best way to go. I learned this trick years ago from an senior member of my construction union. A note to Do it Yourselfers, wood that becomes rotted is prone to being destroyed further by carpenter ants so make sure your wood is pressure treated and make sure you remember to apply a preservative to all cuts. Great work Shannon and a good video. George Lunney / Laborers Union Local 731 New York City
I like this RUclips channel I ended up building a deck after watching the how to build a deck, I aced it and I also did stringers today myself and now I realized my flaws I need to fix for the stairs
I like how you don't edit out the mistakes..great job..
Great job Shannon. Thanks for the information. I am going to redo my deck stairs as it was done completely wrong by the previous owners.
Great explanation for a newb like me. I appreciate the detail especially being I don't do much wood working and I'm just starting out. Keep it up!! Thanks again!!
Great series on, "How to build a deck". I built my whole deck watching your videos.They were all easy enough to follow and understand. my deck was 20ft along back of house and 15 ft out. 8 ft stepped in at 10 ft. First time building anything like this ,so your videos helped me build a beautiful deck, thank you.
pictures??? would love to see your project
It’s very hard to get 4 holes perfectly straight drilling thru concrete. Good Job! I like learning these skills.
Thk u ,thk u, the best vedeo by far i've ever watch..ur honesty & the way u explain everything so clear & so,so helpful..godbless u..
Ppll😁👱🏿♀️
Hey Shannon, just wanted to thank you. I haven't built a deck in 10 yrs, since before RUclips, and your videos made it easy. Thanks. and ya sound Irish sometimes., which makes for better instruction. lol
ClayBoy Cooper he does sound a bit Irish at times. Love his videos. Great instructional guides.
I was surprised how many tips I learned while watching this series, thanks a bunch.
I really love this video and I have never seen someone explains so well in constructing a stairs. I would love to inquiry more about building a floating deck and attach with a few steps from the house and to the garden. Thank you.
please use our forum. www.house-improvements.com/forums/
It’s great to be able to find these videos, fuels up the spirit to pick up the tools.
I HAVE LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU. THANKS, YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER! FROM OTTAWA, CANADA!
Really helpful commentary, it's good hearing you talk about what measurements are good enough for a deck (E.g a 1/8" extra height was good enough on the last stringer). Coming from metal work I struggle sometimes with knowing what my tolerances are and no one else on you tube seems to talk about it.
another fantastic job. I know the owners were happy.thanks for the wisdom
Well done Shannon Enjoyed the series. something I recently witnessed after the finished deck build with treated lumber was to take a floor sander and palm sander to sand splinters and rough edges
Absolutely you can do that.
I hear Pennsylvania Dutch Amish accent. That's my guess as to why you are so good at building and explaining. Hope I manage to make this work! Thank you for this tutorial. Edit: just read you're from Canada, wrong accent😊
Excellent video. Thank you
Thank you for leaving all the little things that can go wrong when your DIYing! Great video. You are very good at showing how easy and simple a task can be.
Been a pleasure to watch this series. Thanks for taking the time to share this.

Very nice demonstrations

I'm happy I found this video. I have a concrete patio so I have all instructions right here. I don't need anything fancier than that. Right on!
Thank u Shannon you r extremely skilled in ur work not only tht u are phenomenal in explaining n making thing so simple !!! Enjoy all ur home improvements video 👍
Shannon I'm getting ready to start my own deck project and your videos are a tremendous help. Keep up the great work.
Excellent... as usual! Two things in particular I appreciated were how skillfully you aligned those spindles (I was thinking... been there done that... how's he going to tackle this on camera? LOL) and also the way you worked through the "wish I'd done that" items. I'm the queen of "wish I'd done that", so seeing your problem solving process was very helpful! Thanks, Shannon!
installed the metal rail base and not a single curse word, thank you!
Outstanding presentation. Very detailed with lots of tips on how to install the stairs and railing. Thank you.
You are one of the best in construction. Bravo.
Thanks for taking the time to show us folks in how to build a deck. It looks great.
Your the best man, thanks for not editing any humps/bumps. Keep it up, I love watching and learning. Thank you so much.
Great video, well worth taking the time to video the whole process. As a handyman myself and have done deck stairs it was great to see real life moments that you had to work through. Your a patient man, thats all I can say. Great work, your customer has to be very happy with that job, even though its now 4 years ago, deck will be still in great shape! Thanks for the encouragement.
Good solid information presented quickly and clearly. The only thing I'd highly recommend if you are going to be trying for code approval, is you really need to address the requirements for openings like the ones formed between the risers. In our area, that space can not be big enough to put a 4" sphere through it. Apparently, the four inch sphere is a stand in for a young child's head. Another way to deal with that space problem is to figure in a kick plate for every riser to block it off.
True enough , around here they dont pay much attention to that on short stairs.
Very informative. Thank you
Hi Shannon...looks great but I wanted to see a walk around with the completed deck for my wife's gratification part 7 perhaps?
If you only need a slight more clearance for those bolts in the ground anchor you can put a drill bit through the holes.
Great series. Thanks for taking the time to do it and explain things. I need to build a approximately 16 x 25 foot deck in my back yard soon and your video has helped a lot. Thank you.
nice work
I really like your explanation, nice & easy to understand, thank you ! Please don't stop making great videos
I learned a lot!! Thank you!!
Great series! I'm getting ready to re-build an elevated deck at my place this spring. These videos have and will help immensely! Thanks!
good luck
nice job . Good teacher.
That is one of nicest decks I have ever seen! Great craftsmanship
Thanks for taking the time to show us the details, really enjoyed your video.
Thanks for posting this series. The explanations and some of the tricks of the trade were extremely useful. I have a deck that was poorly built by the previous owner and is becoming a hazard. It was built using untreated framing lumber and there is no flashing at the wall where it attaches to the house, causing the siding to rot. I fear some of the wall framing may be rotten as a result.😟
I love this guy. hopefully he is fine in this pandemic season.Thank you for the good videos.
All good here, thanks
The best how to build a deck videos I've seen and I have seen a lot
You're an awesome teacher! Always aware of the camera/students perspective! Kudos!
You're a very good teacher, and the picture and angles are really good, i like the imperfections u include in the videos too, it shows that u are human just like your viewers, this step building video helped me understand what goes into it, u and your crew thanks.
Thank you! 😃
Great job, as usual, I'm getting ready to put steps on my deck, I have to put a concrete landing first in a back yard with downward pitch, I love in the hills of Tenn.
As always a great Video, keep them coming please. You are a nice Guy. Its a pleasure learning from your tips and tricks. Kind regards from Germany.
