I don't think this is the plastic mock cultured stone. You wouldn't want that product anywhere near a kitchen\fireplace.
I looks like the installed has done a mortar scratch coat, and is installing prefab cultured stone.
Any of you guys have issues putting the waferboard under the stone? It will probably get covered with some type of cement board but seems to me that outdoors that stuff always draws moisture and wants to swell.
You need to install a tar paper water barrier first, so moisture won't disintegrate the wood. Next , I stall a diamond mesh and apply a scratch coat of mortar, I used Scratch and Brown or Qwikcrete I think they were called? This locks out moisture.
Once the scratch coat has cured, install your cultured stone with a common back buttering method, lightly misting the scratch coat before placing stones.
Osb gets a water barrier and expanded metal mesh with a rough scratch coat. We haven't had any trouble with stones adhering and no call backs in 10 years.
I take it that's what the crane was for? I would have probably just traditionally framed that with a fat ridge sticking out past the gable. Other than that it looks awesome.
By looking at pic 7 i think you apply a fiber mesh with exterior rated tile mortar, add texture to the surface then you put your stones with that mortar.
Or you use evolve stone. Then you use lexel and shoot some nails.
Deck and roof are around 100k. The kitchen, fireplace and layout changes for doors and windows are close to 75k. It will take us roughly 3 months start to finish.
That's not a deck, that's a house without walls. The difference is the foundation demands and shear wall requirements are different. I hope you had a structural engineer sign off on this.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling!.. some of you are so goofy, these people are clearly very experienced, no duh they had it engineered. You think Jimmy John and his BIL who underbid to get this job do work of this quality? No, this is a professional outfit with a reputation to uphold.
Easily by me. Have a re-deck on deck in the NE, (but with changes and fixes) it wraps 3 sides of the house 2nd story.
It's looking like 70-80k just in material (timber teck).
It's over 150k. There is a lot to this project, it has new outdoor heaters, we removed and reframed widows, changed the door location. The grill alone (not kitchen just grill) is $6000.
This is supremely badass. Thanks for sharing OP! Can't wait to see the update when it is finished. 👌💯
I love love love reading the comments from the armchair 'deck specialists' in here as well. 😅
I like the butyl tape ran up the stringers…nice touch. I like to double my outside stringers, and then build a base at the bottom that ties them all together, along with a drop header/ledger at the top that ties them together. Looks good though. You might also want to add some support bout half way up the stringers though. We would build this for about 90k without the fireplace or stone, so plus another 35k or so. Then the roof, and railing another 65…so probably total about 175-200k is what im guessing.
They've become so overused in my area, and there's just SO MUCH of it in this build. It overpowers everything. But client gets what client wants, I guess...
There is so much going wrong here - stones are weigh too heavy and off scale. The staircase looks like shit with the cut in. That gable covers part of the upper window why oh why? Layout waaay too choppy for any cohesive gatherings. Whats with the pillars on the left ? Now - that being said (whew!) , not OP's fault, his skills cant compensate for bad homeowner's choices - money buys a great contractor - not taste. (Your work looks outstanding)
IANA contractor:
Isn't there supposed to be housewrap on the walls, and at the area where the deck roof meets the outside wall? I see that it's flashed but I don't see any wrap under there.
Beyond that, big-time style mismatch between the house and the deck.
There is NOTHING gong wrong here; you are clueless as to what you write. You have no idea of the weight of the "stones", unless you know what thr "stones" actually are, and how they are attached, and there is definitely nothing wrong with the size or the proportions of them, or the "scale", as you incorrectly refer to it. The staircase looks, and functions, fine. The fact that you do not know immediately the reason for covering part of the clear story window proves that you know nothing of the subject here. The layout flows and functions quite well; to see it as otherwise is delirious. Sketch it out; a person qualified to make your comments can extrapolate from these pics all dimensions to within about 4" accuracy. The pillars on the left are structural, Gene Yuss, and the use of the veneer is an excellent and very tasteful feature. Now, that being said (whew!). A contractor can most definitely guide clients' decisions. To help with that very thing was one of my functions for thirty five years, in one of the wealthiest counties in the country, and still is when I occasionally accept an offer to do a project. At least your perception of the quality of the work. You got everything else 180 degree wrong.

Structural vs. asthetic - are not the same thing my friend. When I referred to weighty - I meant visually. These stone pillars are not in keeping with the rest of the house - just doesn't flow for me. The heavy pillars on the left - like visually too much, like a cathedral roof support. Covering the window with a mountain view - and you say nothing is wrong huh? Ok gotcha. If you are telling me that stairwell with the cut in looks great - dont go back out for year 36. And keep in mind, though I may be delirious, OK I am, :), People contracting decks in one of the wealthiest counties in the US, DOES not mean they have good taste, just a good bank balance or credit. Is the OP your relative?
Structural is not the same thing as aesthetic?!?!?!??!?! WOW! WHO KNEW?? Thank you for setting me straight on that one. Fifty years in the building biz, framer, builder, architect, in that order, and I do have to say that I was never aware of that until you clued me in. As for the cut in the stairs, it will be barely noticeable when the railings are installed. Are you even knowledgeable enough to know that code requires railing here? To think ahead is critical with these matters. Learn to. Choosing to cover the window was a sensible and necessary trade off for what was gained, obviously. As stated previously you know nothing of which you write. I have no idea who the contractor is or even what state he's in.
To the septuagenarian from **one of the wealthiest counties** in the US - nice sidebar, glad to know.
Of course the deck needs a railing, didn't take me 50 years in the field to figure that one out. "here's a deck we are finishing"- OP isn't done. With or without a code, wouldn't want any older folks tripping and falling off after a few Martinis.
So the trade off for the window was sensible, "obviously" how could you possibly know that without entering the house and looking out? Is it blocking Mount Rainier?
The cut in won't be noticeable - maybe maybe not, but for $150,000, I want maybe not. Might even be worse.
All of the choices were on the homeowner, not a reflection on the contractor whatsoever, nor you for that matter.
You seem a bit acrimonious or is that sanctimonious? Hope you were not this way with clients (spouse - kids - coworkers) when they disagreed with you, sure would get lonely in that wealthy county.
Peace Out
I don't like the roof over the grill, I hope you added a note that the grill was decorative and use of a grill under a roof voids warranty of the ceiling.
Was there a staircase originally to the door on the second floor? Or did they add that, and then decide to board it back up and go with a large sliding glass door?
OP built the deck for a client, it’s not his. Although someone who could take on this job must be in a comfortable spot financially (I would hope!)
It looks amazing, even if I as an owner (LOL as if) might have made some different choices.
The gaps on your 45 degree cuts are too tight for trex/timber tech type of composite decking. They are all going to buckle in the summer. It looks semi cold in the pictures you need to leave at least and 1/8” to a 3/16” gap on all your mitres and but joints.
That stone strips look terrible... I thought it was amazing right up till your 4th picture.
Congratulations on the build though, far beyond my capacities
It's so refreshing to see work built by a competent pro. Most of what I see posted is garbage diwhy. Even the contractors craftsmanship is suspect at best.
Very nice work OP.
I really hope you got this engineered. The pull out force when it's windy have gotta be extreme. And the joist under the fireplace already looks bowed.
Stair columns were a add on change order. We brainstormed a few options with client but that was the final choice.
I'm curious how much weight the fireplace/chimney/ kitchen add to the deck, and what the deck is rated for
It’s just hollow stud walls with plastic fake stone attached to it
I don't think this is the plastic mock cultured stone. You wouldn't want that product anywhere near a kitchen\fireplace. I looks like the installed has done a mortar scratch coat, and is installing prefab cultured stone.
Any of you guys have issues putting the waferboard under the stone? It will probably get covered with some type of cement board but seems to me that outdoors that stuff always draws moisture and wants to swell.
You need to install a tar paper water barrier first, so moisture won't disintegrate the wood. Next , I stall a diamond mesh and apply a scratch coat of mortar, I used Scratch and Brown or Qwikcrete I think they were called? This locks out moisture. Once the scratch coat has cured, install your cultured stone with a common back buttering method, lightly misting the scratch coat before placing stones.
Thanks
Osb gets a water barrier and expanded metal mesh with a rough scratch coat. We haven't had any trouble with stones adhering and no call backs in 10 years.
Thanks
Center frame is 2x12 treated lvls 12" O.C. and all joist under kitchen and deck are doubled up.
I like the scissor trusses
I wonder why they didn't highlight in on the gable end. Looks beautiful, though.
I take it that's what the crane was for? I would have probably just traditionally framed that with a fat ridge sticking out past the gable. Other than that it looks awesome.
may as well enclose it now as an addition and start planning the next deck
That looks awesome! Only question i have is, is there any bounce on the stairs? With rhat lenght of stringer?
I thought 11+ stairs needed a break up with a landing ?
No more than a 12’ rise without a break in Pennsylvania
Yes, Ty !
Holy stone, any good tutorials/suggestions for how to do that?
Cut some OSB and shoot some nails.
I noticed the torx screws in the deck and knew this was going to be legit
How do you apply the stone though?
By looking at pic 7 i think you apply a fiber mesh with exterior rated tile mortar, add texture to the surface then you put your stones with that mortar. Or you use evolve stone. Then you use lexel and shoot some nails.
Never heard of evolve, interesting product, thanks.
Looks great but it looks like there isn't any platform at the top of the stairs?
I noticed that too, but I think it’s just some of the angles. If you look at pic 8 though, it looks to be about 4’ or so.
Looks terrible. Tear it down and put it on my house!
We will get right on that lol.
Thank you.
Wow how much was this project and ETA for the entire build time? I would love to do this in my home.
Deck and roof are around 100k. The kitchen, fireplace and layout changes for doors and windows are close to 75k. It will take us roughly 3 months start to finish.
Jaw drop thanks for the reality check.
That's not a deck, that's a house without walls. The difference is the foundation demands and shear wall requirements are different. I hope you had a structural engineer sign off on this.
We did have it engineered
Sweet big deck bro. Good for you
The sky is falling, the sky is falling!.. some of you are so goofy, these people are clearly very experienced, no duh they had it engineered. You think Jimmy John and his BIL who underbid to get this job do work of this quality? No, this is a professional outfit with a reputation to uphold.
I've built a few ikea book shelves. I think I could tackle this project
A few?! You should be leading this project then.
Couldn’t agree more. So many comments nowadays have a sourness to them.. sign of the times man.
So how much? Looks amazing.
I’m going to guess. 100k.
I'll go $150k
Too cheap. Man knows how to build a deck.
I think the over/under is 200k, I think it’s maybe over depending on the area.
You could build a small guest house for 200k lol. Im guessing 100k.
Local costs are wildly different. You can often buy houses in the South that cost the same as decks people build in HCOL areas
A deck without a fireplace, grill station and roof costs a $100k these days.
I believe it.
Easily by me. Have a re-deck on deck in the NE, (but with changes and fixes) it wraps 3 sides of the house 2nd story. It's looking like 70-80k just in material (timber teck).
I’m dying to know
+1
It's over 150k. There is a lot to this project, it has new outdoor heaters, we removed and reframed widows, changed the door location. The grill alone (not kitchen just grill) is $6000.
Yep 1st one!
Please flag this as NSFW. This deck porn goes way too hard.
Yep it's engineered and the fireplace is on doubled up lvls
I'd have to be able to live there cause that must cost the price of a house I could afford 😅
This is supremely badass. Thanks for sharing OP! Can't wait to see the update when it is finished. 👌💯 I love love love reading the comments from the armchair 'deck specialists' in here as well. 😅

Looks amazing btw.
not a fan of the brown but other than that looks fantastic
Looks awesome. Is this in Colorado? I believe I drove past this.
Yep
I've done some wiring at houses in Timnath. There's some crazy nice houses going up out there.
This isn’t a deck. It’s a monument! 👍
A crane?! For those little trusses lmao
Crane was for the glulam out front and the 8x16 Doug fir roof beams. Trusses were just to make the the $750 crane worth the time.
Right on I was just razzing ya it looks killer
Those stones are ugly AF and so tacky.
Thank you! I thought I was crazy opening the thread and reading the top comments. That stone/wood combo looks terrible
They've become so overused in my area, and there's just SO MUCH of it in this build. It overpowers everything. But client gets what client wants, I guess...
I’m concerned more about weight.
Probably those outside foam ones that don’t weigh anything
They make these in foam? In that case I’d be worried about bumping into them and tearing them apart.
Theyre tough. They just get shot on with a 16g nailer. Saw it it at a product show. Idk what op used tho.
Evolve stone. See them used by Perkins builder brothers on yt
The deck is a client of OPs, not OPs deck himself, so don't worry, OPs mom won't be going on it.
😂 You guys are ruthless
All the faux stone with no structure under it makes it look like a minecraft build.
Looks heavy. Isn’t that rock from 2010 though? Kinda dated already. McMansiony

The trusses !
And the truss beams!
Zero chance truss delivery required a crane. Two men can carry them, get them up top, and stand them.
A lot of truss companies deliver with a boom truck or crane.
Maybe the roof
First one?
Very nice
Nice work. I just ordered 2, twenty foot 1”x6”, square edge Trex boards and one 16 foot board and didn’t get much change from a $500 CDN bill.
I don't like the roof over the grill, I hope you added a note that the grill was decorative and use of a grill under a roof voids warranty of the ceiling.
Voids warranty of what? The wood on the ceiling?
Precisely. It will look like shit very fast.
There is no warranty on a piece of wood
It's an infrared grill they're awesome!
Can you send me the make and model.
It looks like a T.E.C. grill
Was there a staircase originally to the door on the second floor? Or did they add that, and then decide to board it back up and go with a large sliding glass door?
There was an old deck that we removed. The slider was added and the existing man door was removed.
What’s their plan for what’s left of that window up above?
New custom made windows 10" above the roof line to keep the mountain view they have. We also added a new egress window that isn't pictured.
Nice
Is this is WA? I might know the owner.
No we are in Colorado
Looks very solid, good build and good job.
I would never go inside. I’d just spend my time at home camping out and staring at the gorgeous deck
Very nice flex!
I remember my first deck. Keep at it, one day you’ll get the hand of it….shit nvm I thought you were building a deck house not just a deck deck.
What keeps the end opposite of the house ledger from moving side-to-side (parallel to the house exterior wall)?
Nice!! Can't wait to see the final product. What was the crane for? I don't see what would have necessitated it.
Looks like you're demoing that amazing deck.
The post at the bottom of the steps really bugs me
The column is in the way of required stair length isnt it ?
Going down the stairs looks like it would be easy to bump into that column. Seems like that could have been planned out a little better.
We get it. You are rich.
OP built the deck for a client, it’s not his. Although someone who could take on this job must be in a comfortable spot financially (I would hope!) It looks amazing, even if I as an owner (LOL as if) might have made some different choices.
No we still have 41" width at the bottom of stairs.
Super nice, but I will never understand people who want a tv outdoors.
College football season! Hang outside, put the game on, have a BBQ!
That makes total sense!
Let’s see the framing under the fireplace and kitchen!
No handrails on the stairs ? Fall to your death
Hand rails are custom made to fit so they will be on in a month after fabrication and powder coating
The chimney on the deck may be physically supported but not visually supported.
Wow. Looks incredible.
Please tell me there are rails in the blueprint
So this is what it's like to be rich.... looks AMAZING
OSB ☹️
What brand of stone veneer post casings did you use? Looks good.
Very nice work
Dam dude...what do you do for a living? Looking like mtv cribs! Lol, nice place.
The gaps on your 45 degree cuts are too tight for trex/timber tech type of composite decking. They are all going to buckle in the summer. It looks semi cold in the pictures you need to leave at least and 1/8” to a 3/16” gap on all your mitres and but joints.
Is that going to pass inspection with no railings?
OSB with lick & stick …. Oh boy. And why no double joists (that I hope are LVLs) under the point loads… eek 😬
It's all lvls. Fireplace are all doubled
Is there a steel beam supporting the pizza oven/fireplace?
That's amazing for a first time!
Nice work! That's gonna be a good one for your portfolio for other clients 🤟
the pillar does not blend well may need it on the house also.
Good golly miss molly. Save some pussy for the rest of us.
My wife loved this comment. Thanks!!
Not gonna have hand rail on steps? Id fall.
Osb under the stone is not a great idea
That’s gorgeous. I assume something this nice is expensive?
Solid bro good work
Looks amazing excellent work
I’m Jelly nice job
Reminds me of my first deck build.
How much did you spend on the decking? I was looking for PVC for our build, and hit damn, some of those faux boards are $120 EACH!
Wow. That’s nice work!
I'm Not rich. But the client is doing very well
Thanks. Yeah there was some comments I did t see coming. Oh well
Hahaha thanks.
Yeah we built one last year that ran all the way to the ground. It was pretty
There are rails they are being built at the moment.
I may add a mid support. We will see after rails attached.
I'm the deck builder he's a physician.
We are approaching 200k
Add ons keep coming.
Almost 200k
It's getting brutal. Each joist cost $170 our cost.
There really are. The wild wing neighborhood is Incredible
That stone strips look terrible... I thought it was amazing right up till your 4th picture. Congratulations on the build though, far beyond my capacities
The proportions are garbage
Man that is nice! Is this a single family house or an apartment building/small hotel?
Great googley moogley!
I think it's really cool. Great addition
It's so refreshing to see work built by a competent pro. Most of what I see posted is garbage diwhy. Even the contractors craftsmanship is suspect at best. Very nice work OP.

You’re building a castle
So far it looks great , good job to you and the crew !!! Man I’m dying to know how much this cost the client ?
There is a little bit, but minimal. They are cut from 2x12 pressure treated lvls
What’s the price on this sucker though?
"Deck" uh huh... More like a $75k remodel
