  • Top 3 Outdoor Projects to Do This Month!

    Top 3 Outdoor Projects to Do This Month!
    2025/05/27

    In this episode, I break down the best outdoor projects to get done this month—roofing, concrete, and decking, because outdoor projects can boost your home’s value and make your space more enjoyable!

    Roofing is first for a reason. We’re partnered with The Roof Resource, a cloud-based roofing company that delivers brand-name roofs with a lifetime warranty, up to 50% less than retail.

    Next, we talk about concrete. Cracked driveways, worn patios, and uneven sidewalks can be a safety hazard. The right depth, base, and mix make all the difference. I recommend trusted pros like Contractor’s Cement and Construction who do it right and fast.

    Finally, there’s decking. Trex composite decking is low-maintenance, long-lasting, and beautiful. I recommend Coy Construction—one of the best around.

    Hit play for insider tips, contractor recommendations, and smart planning strategies to make your next project a success. Don’t forget—visit HireItDone.com to find the top contractors in your area!

  • What Homeowners Must Know Before Building Decks with Chris Quackenbush

    What Homeowners Must Know Before Building Decks with Chris Quackenbush
    2025/04/01
    A great deck can turn your backyard into a whole new space—one where you relax, work, entertain, and enjoy every season. In this episode, Chris Quackenbush, the Design and Sales Consultant at Coy Construction, covers all the key stuff homeowners need to know before building a deck—design tips, material selection, timing, permits, costs, and the value of hiring a solid contractor. He puts it straight: “Most good contractors are already booked out for 8 to 10 weeks, so the sooner you start planning, the better.” We talk a lot about composite decking, especially Trex. It’s low maintenance, looks amazing, and lasts through tough Michigan winters. “Trex is made of 90% recycled plastic and 10% recycled hardwood,” Chris explains. No staining, no sealing, and it comes with a 25- to 50-year warranty. That’s a win in my book. Whether you’re building something simple or going big with built-in seating and lighting, having a plan—and the right pro—makes all the difference. Looking to build a beautiful deck without all the headaches? Hit play to get the inside scoop to save money and time, and enjoy your backyard this year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Quackenbush is the Design and Sales Consultant at Coy Construction, the leading deck builder serving Oakland, Livingston, Wayne County, and Northern Michigan.
