Michael Flory and Chris Scott, brothers and co-owners of Custom Built Basements & Decks in Okemos, Mich., have 30-plus years of combined construction experience. Even so, it took 10 years of careful consideration before they decided, in October 2006, to hang their shingle at their original Lansing, Mich., location. More

Engineered wood gets the treatment Building Products Digest Share
It's no secret that pressure treating can protect engineered wood products – glulam beams and columns, parallel strand lumber and laminated veneer lumber – against decay and termite infestation. In the past, however, builders seeking this protection would sometimes buy preservatives and treat materials onsite. Today, the trend is toward products that are warrantied by both the manufacturer and the company that treated the finished product. "There was definitely a reluctance from our customers doing their own treatment," said Geoff Crandlemire, who works closely with builders via the technical support line run by Rosboro, Springfield, Or. "They were concerned, obviously, that if they treated the beam themselves, the manufacturer wouldn't stand behind the product if it failed."

Not only is the overall appearance of the decking distorted but also the green growth can cause the surface to become slippery. Paint & Paper are helping consumers avoid uncomfortable "slip ups" with their latest new product Osmo Anti-Slip Decking Oil. More

More U.S. construction spending begins slow build Business Wire via ForConstructionPros.com Share
Following steep declines last year, U.S. construction spending is projected to increase slightly in 2010, according to Fitch Ratings in a new report. In particular, U.S. public construction expenditures should continue exhibiting mild growth in 2010 thanks in part to federal stimulus spending. Residential construction spending should also mildly improve this year from depressed levels in 2009. However, ongoing pressure in the commercial real estate sector means spending on commercial projects will remain weak. More |
