Hey friends — quick update from me!

As winter rolls in and our outdoor deck/fence projects slow down, my crew and I at McIntosh Construction are opening up our schedule for interior work. A lot of you have seen the jobs we’ve been doing lately, and I really appreciate all the referrals and support.

If you or someone you know needs trim work, drywall, painting, flooring, small remodels, or general home repairs, we’d be happy to help keep things moving through the cold months.

Just shoot me a message — even small projects help keep everyone busy.
Thanks for supporting a local business 🙏

10 Design Ideas for Small Decks

A small deck can be just as stylish and functional as a large one with smart design choices. Thoughtful planning allows you to maximize space for entertaining, dining, or relaxing without feeling cramped. Consider built-in seating to save room, vertical planters for greenery, and multi-functional furniture for flexibility. Using light colors, layered lighting, and creative layouts can make the area feel more open and inviting. With the right design approach, even the smallest deck can become a cozy outdoor retreat that perfectly fits your lifestyle.

Where to Place a Grill – Experts Share the 2 Important Rules to Follow

Proper grill placement is key to both safety and functionality in your outdoor cooking area. Experts emphasize two essential rules: always keep your grill at least 10 feet away from your home, railings, or overhangs, and ensure it’s set up on a stable, nonflammable surface. This helps prevent accidental fires and allows smoke to dissipate safely. Positioning the grill in a well-ventilated area, yet close enough to your dining or prep space for convenience, creates the perfect balance between safety and ease of use for outdoor cooking.

These are the only rules about where to place a grill

Choose Railings That Last
Vinyl railings offer low maintenance and long-lasting durability, resisting fading, cracking, and warping through every season. They provide a clean, polished look without the need for constant painting or staining—making them a smart choice for lasting outdoor appeal.

10 Under-Deck Storage Ideas

The space beneath your deck can be transformed into valuable storage with a little creativity and planning. From enclosed sheds and waterproof storage bins to sliding drawers and hidden compartments, there are many ways to make use of this often-overlooked area. You can store lawn equipment, outdoor furniture, gardening tools, or seasonal items while keeping them protected from the elements. Adding skirting or decorative panels also helps conceal the space for a clean, finished look. With smart organization, your under-deck area can become both functional and visually appealing.
