- In this video I tear out my old nasty concrete stairs and build a new deck made out of pressure treated wood, composite decking/handrails and PVC trim. This deck is 4 feet by 8 feet. Let me know how I did in the comments!

I watched this like a hundred times in preparation for doing my front steps. Even had the music playing in my head while doing it haha
Quite possibly the world's strongest front stairs/deck 😁😁
And it looks fantastic! Great work as always!!
Haha it just might be!! Thanks for checking it out!
I’ve had a lot of work done on my house but none of them approaches your level of expertise and professionalism. Watching you work was fascinating. You built it to last and your finish work was excellent. And I have horror stories about the work done on my house! Good to know there are people out there who still take pride in their work.
That is a whole new level of awesome. Like seriously, if I could afford you, I would pay to have you build anything for me. Excellent workmanship!!!
Hahah! Thanks Joshua! Appreciate you watching the video
Absolutely BOSS! From the banging soundtrack to the gorgeous deck, and the fact you did this all yourself is a testament to your skill level. 💗 from Wales 🏴
😁😁 thanks so much! I am happy you like the soundtrack. That is always tough to pick songs. Thanks for checking it out and for the comment!
I second that!
Yaasss!!! The music was kicking! He always has good music tho. 👍🏽🥰
I didn't notice the music good or bad. I guess that's a good thing! 😅
Watch a lot of porch builders, you are by far the Goat. No short cuts no half ass builds , pure pro. I’m 40 years in carpenter trade, local 13 out of Chicago. Great job
Wow. That is such a nice compliment. I really appreciate it. And thanks for watching!
Wow I didn't realize so much went into making a small porch with steps. You did an excellent job.
Very high end. That workmanship is first class!
It is first class. It's very well built. The ties that connect the inside joists to the deck joist blew my mind! I've never seen that before. The choice to use abs plastic on the kick plates is wise. Abs is easy to keep clean, and it stays vibrant white like that pretty much forever... the way he 45 the ends of the deck boards to use another deck board as a end cap is friggin genius! I watch a lot of construction videos and this is definitely top notch build quality.
I hope he compacted well under that pad..
Nice job, it looks amazing compared to before. I wish that I would of used the flex tape when I built a 16 by 24 ft. Deck on the back of my house years ago. Thanks for another informative video.!
@@kylemcweeny878they call that technique picture frame it’s common with trex boards he won’t have to replace that deck until he’s an old man
Having watched my dad, growing up…it’s not usually quite that much work…
This transformation is remarkable! You have added tremendous curb appeal and upped the appraised value of your house dramatically. Great job!!!
Never fails!!! That's crazy, I remembered when you painted the old steps. The deck looks amazing. Keep it up, adding so much value to your home. Enjoyed every minute!
Awesome to hear! Thank you for being such a loyal and long time subbie!!
It looks so much better, elegant, neat, it was worth it! Great job! 👍🏼
Thanks so much, Rebeca! Great to hear!
I have so much respect and appreciation for your professionalism and doing a project right. Mike Holmes would be proud. Great deck, it looks fantastic. 👍👍💛💚
After watching this video I have an entirely new understanding of and appreciation for the tireless work, skills, know-how, planning, patience, tools and pure grit that go into something as simple and as taken for granted as a nice set of front stairs with an attractive railing!!! Who knew?!?! My compliments to you, Matt, and to Mrs Fixer for the lovely seasonal finishing touches!
I am truly grateful for people like you who have the gift, patience and attention span to create ❤️
😁😁 I believe anyone can do it. Just takes lots of practice. Patience is something you can learn as well but that may be harder for some people and I get it. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair Great job look beautiful
You were very methodical in selecting the materials used to make your front porch. All of them require little to no maintenance. Smart planning and execution.
Amazing work, very detailed and well explained process. Including your mistake and showing how you went about fixing it was a solid integrity move. Loved the content, earned a subscriber!
Going back for the membrane was a class act.. 👌 good to see craftsmanship is still important to some.
Excellent job, afraid to show my wife because I’m sure it will jump redoing our front steps to the next project on the list haha
😁🤣. Haha thanks for stopping by, John!
Sounds like my wife!!!
Lol!
I'm showing my husband, for this very reason 😂
Guna show my husband 🥴🤣
I wish I could hire you to come redo my old deck.....it's so correct. Very satisfying to watch!
Thanks, Shani! If I ever start working on more than just my house and friends houses I will let everyone here know!! Thanks so much for checking out the video!
ditto!
I was screaming at you in front of my phone when you forgot the vapor barrier!
This is awesome! Your porch is built so beautiful, sturdy and strong that an elephant could dance on it. 😜
Now I am hooked on your other projects.
That's a master class in carpentry and water management. The water shield on the tops of the lumber... Sublime!
You are so precise in your work. Even cleaning up your messes.
Yes, Teresa! I have always kept a pretty clean job site. It helps me think. Thanks for stopping by, as always!
Beautiful, Outstanding, your attention to detail is a gift few have!
Now there is a deck that is built to last. You put your heart and soul into your work, and it shows.
Great work, Matt!
just found your channel & i’m inspired to start fixing up my own home now. you make it all look so easy. wish i could hire you to help me with my house for a few weeks here & there. thank you for sharing your projects.
All I have to say gorgeous. Love how it looks. Now all you need is some flowering plants and flowers and then you will be all set. Thank you for all the steps and this video. Have a wonderful day.
Yes! Looking forward to setting it up in the spring! Going to work on the landscaping around it as well. Thanks for watching!
I enjoy a good time lapse, and this one is excellent!! Can I just say, I'm in love with the shutters! 😍👍🏼
Hey, Jodi! Yeah the shudders were like that when we bought the house and they grew on me over the years! Thanks as always for watching!
I'm considering copying those shutters for my home! I absolutely love watching folks with woodworking skills and thought as I watched "man he's really making sure this deck stays put for years to come!" I learned a few things that I'll be doing on future projects. I really love the transformation! Great job!!
Very nice!! My godson and I have been binge watching your videos since the Summer...this is his last apprenticeship year in construction and he's so excited. You're such a positive motivating force...and overall great video mentor.🔨🛠️📏🧰📝 Keep up the inspiration!! Stay true to your calling🤗...Keep on sharing... Keep on inspiring!

IS VERY SATISFACTORY WATCHING YOURS VÍDEOS!!!
I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Imagine having a husband who could quiet literally build you the house of your dreams.
I wonder if his wife ever nags him 😂
My dad was a carpenter that could do plumbing and electrical. He always worked for someone else so he couldn't afford to do it but he could have. And when I was growing up every man, even the really dumb ones, could do carpentry so I just thought they all could. I was married to a guy that could not even build a Lincoln log house.
😁 thanks for watching!
I’ve re done every bathroom in our house , finished the basement, built an office. Etc yes it’s nice saving the money on that but man it takes up a lot of time
Amazing 10/10 work
That really looks classy, Matt. Well done. Very much like what you have done with the front of the house overall. You've given it an inviting, cozy look. Did you ever find time to finish sealing the basement?
Hey, JW. Honestly I haven't done much of anything. As you may have seen, I had to take a step back from TH-cam but I am ramping back up. Stay tuned, I have lot's of great stuff planned for the rest of the year and into the next! Thanks for watching the video!!
We’ve done a lot of home improvement jobs in our home, been in my house for 26 years and only wish jobs went this fast , you do great work!!
It is first class. It's very well built. The ties that connect the inside joists to the deck joist blew my mind! I've never seen that before. The choice to use abs plastic on the kick plates is wise. Abs is easy to keep clean, and it stays vibrant white like that pretty much forever... the way he 45 the ends of the deck boards to use another deck board as a end cap is friggin genius! I watch a lot of construction videos and this is definitely top notch build quality.
I hope he compacted well under that pad..
I’m so jealous! This deck is absolutely beautiful!
The new deck makes your home much more inviting.
Yes, I think so too! Thank you for the feedback and for checking out the video!!
Hello - My husband and I just watched this. - we kept saying this Guy is good! Wish we could hire him! You really did a great job! Nice attention to detail! Your friend in
Buffalo, NY. - Go Bills!
Wow this was awesome! I want a front deck system like this. I did not realize how much work an attention to detail there was. Now I won't squint when someone gives me a quote. But I will make sure they don't cut corner! Lol
I've been waiting for this one since you painted the old steps and it did not disappoint! I love the look. It just adds so much to the front of the house.
Thanks, Tiffany! Glad you enjoyed it!
It's good to see another of your masterpiece renovations, always a treat to see you at work. Very Classy work.
Thanks so much!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair Thank you, I love DIY, and what a better way to learn from the master. Keep up the Fabulous work.
That turned out absolutely beautiful! One thing is for sure that front porch/deck is going nowhere!You Sir are one multi skilled Master Craftsman! Too bad you can't be cloned!😁
Fantastic job, I have the same ugly steps in front of my house and am having the same deck built with composite boards. They are building over the old steps since they have sunk into the ground. I am 70 yrs old and love your videos.
So satisfying to watch the transformation. Fantastic!!
😁👍 thanks for watching!
Great job on the stairs! I loved watching the transformation. It makes me want to replace ours and it's not even bad yet. Amazing work
😁 thanks, Royale!
Wow this is such a great video, simple, clean production, great music. Music really helps the positive vibe going on in this video. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this project with us, a huge Thank You Matt!
I built a set of deck steps this past spring. Watching this has me feeling woefully insignificant! Nice job.
As much work as this was, I'm kinda surprised you didn't make it a couple feet wider so you could put up chairs on that porch! Regardless, this looks lightyears beyond what it used to. Great work!
Let’s just build the new deck over the existing concrete stairs too while we’re at it
Looks so much better!
Thanks, Amanda!!
Excellent!!!!!
My daughter needs this done at her little house!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Looks super clean with all the miter cuts, no edges exposed, better than what a professional would do.
This turned out beautifully Fixer!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
😁 Thanks so much, Gregory! You are a true loyal subscriber. You have no idea how much I appreciate it!
Top notch craftsmanship as always, Fixer! Looks amazing.... thanks for another great video!
It did need a better front for sure, and you fixed it!
Wow! The work is unbelievable, but the results made for a very welcoming entrance! Congratulations! You are fantastic! 💛
Beautiful, just Beautiful. Sir.
I also work by myself, I’m slow but I take my time, you did GREAT, SIR.
Welcome back! Dude I was trying to remove my old car battery while watching your video on the garage PC. I did a rookie mistake and bridged the terminals with my ratchet socket wrench 😳🤣I can’t believe I did that after 20+ years of servicing my own car. Just like I can’t believe you took such a short break and came back to the TH-camz. You love it, man 😉 I knew you couldn’t stay away from sharing your passion in building. Great vid and cheers from Maui 🏝😃🤙
Oh that is never good! I’m sorry I distracted you haha but thanks for watching. Yes, I am ramping back up. Still will take some time to get to where I want to be but I am here!!
This video is so calming to watch. I love watching you take something that looks meh and making it look AMAZING! Really well done!! 👏
Thanks so much! 😁😁👍
Good evening. I just came across your video and it totally captures exactly what I am trying to do to my home. Question. I absolutely love that siding color. What type of Siding and color is it?? Your help is appreciated so much
From the daughter of a very detail oriented carpenter, nice job. Excellent detail work and built to last.
Awesome to hear! Thank you!
what a nice entrance there is now, i see so many of those concrete steps around here, makes having that now all the more beautiful
Thank you! 😁👍
Great “Art Work! The dedication to this job , your energy and “natural talent “ is a Blessing ! Thanks so much for show to us an “ Amazing” … Breath of Life!🤗👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much, Elizabeth! I really appreciate that!
another great build! I'm going to use this as a tutorial for my side entrance deck build, in the spring. thanks for all the great content!!🤘🏼
Awesome to hear. I hope it helps. Let me know how it goes!!
wowww, it really takes an absurd amount of patience and workmanship to do all this!
Time now to add a beautiful interlock front strip with two column 😍 great job!
So satisfying, Love it!
Awesome to hear, Joe! Thanks for checking it out!
Nice, i was waiting on this timelapse. Wel done!!
Thank you!!
Talk about adding curb appeal (literally at the curb) … the house looked fresh and lovely before, but that deck put it way over the top.
If this isn’t YOUR home, kudos to you for taking the time and doing all that extra to ensure that this lovely porch outlasts us all.
Best is - it’s maintenance free
my god....so much work. thank god for ppl like you! watching this makes me want to take a nap
Wouldn't it be nice if you could have built it as fast as you did in this video? 😀. It looks fabulous and I just know your wife loves it.
Hey was it just me or was the music an electro version of the 'Inspector Gadget' theme song?? 🤔 (first track)
Close to it
@@gregmize01 haha thanks! I'm happy at least one other person even knew who IG was 👍
😮 I hear it! 😂 Good call!
I loved IG when I was a kid xxxxx
@@rosiebargoed681 Me too! 🧐
I have seen decks 20 feet in the air that weren’t built that solid! Amazing! Also, love how you encapsulated the vertical beams on all sides with wood. Much more solid.
Craftsmanship is still alive!!
It looks amazing! I really appreciate these time lapses and information. Instead of saying I wish my husband could do this, you really inspire ME to wanna be able to accomplish things like this one day!
How long did this whole project take?
The question on everyone's mind has to be: Did you take off that UPC sticker on the right stair trim piece? LOL Looks really great!! Well done!!!
Thats the same thing I was thinking🤣🤣🤣
Haha yes! I knew that would bother some people. It bothered me after realizing i didn’t film removing it. I might make a dedicated video about removing stickers like that, I have no idea why they put them on a surface that might be seen! Put the tag on the side with a staple, like a 2x4 has. Anyway, yes, a little goof off and it was gone! Thanks for checking out the video!
Not what I would call a deck.............a bigger and better step. Absolutely gorgeous.
That looks wonderful! Best of all, it will last for many years and will NOT need to be painted! Ooh rah!
Greetings..wow! Beautiful love it. This is something I've been wanting to do on my home, didn't know his much work it goes into this. Thank you for sharing.
So beautiful! Just about identical to my front house, and exactly what I was thinking of!! Thanks for showing me how.
Don't know what your full time job is but you'd make a great teacher for up and coming contractors. Excellent work! Thanks for sharing...
Awesome work …… You accomplished a Complete dismantle and rebuild. I enjoyed every minute of your video. Your attention to detail is superior ! ! !
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Beauty of a job on this.
This is a great instructive video. Workmanship is top notch. What is really amazing is seeing all of the facets of this project come together in the PROPER sequence which is essential to getting it done in a timely manner. Many homeowners (including me) have had the DIY experience of missing a step on a project and having to back and do a redo. Nothing I hate more than rework. Thank you for sharing your work.
Just a request if possible: It would be great if you would post the list of materials you used for this project including lumber sizes and fastener details. Thanks.
Great vlog! No useless chatter. Beautiful job!
I love woodworking and I am not good at it; but I know when I see one. AWESOME!
Absolutely beautiful! You're attention to detail is incredible!
This is really making this house way more worth!!
I love using the jack hammer. I had to jack hammer up all the concrete cool deck around the pool at my old house. I actually enjoyed it.
This came out fantastic!! Thank you for making this video. I have brick steps that are all cracked and was trying to figure out a way to replace them. You video just gave me the idea guidance on how to do it. Thanks!!
As always, another amazing transformation!! You have such great patience and a wonderful way of dealing with obstacles that you encounter…I wish I had a tenth of your skill and know-how! Well done!! 👏👏👏
Just found your videos and I'm very impressed and i know how proud your wife must be great work 👍
You make it look easy. Not just the construction, but a perfect vlog.
Oh my! What a difference. Great job guys.
My Mom lives in Spring. You are awesome!!! Beautiful work.☺
Wow! That's 10x the amount of work I would put in to redoing a porch BUT... that's why yours looks AMAZING!!!! Absolutely beautiful!!! Very talented, sir! I really love the whole thing! Every step you've taken has made a huge difference! Great job!!!
Absolutely beautiful
One of the best video that I saw ….. thank you for sharing. (That’s gonna be the standard for me).
😁😁👍👍 thank you!
This is a really great use of composite decking and other non wood alternative finishes. With wood being so expensive right now you chose wisely. Good work!
I'm building mine with lights with it... So, it can look during the daytime look great... but, at night, looks awesome!!!!.. Awesome job dude.(Matt).... Very impressed...
Is there anything this man can’t do! God bless him and his family! Thank you!
Is there anything you CAN'T do... Mr. OCD FIXER! 💕
Love what you do!
TY for sharing! 🤗
Beautiful job. That white trim really makes a big difference,.
What a difference!! Mega solid build !! I appreciate that the oops was included good catch and well done!!
This looks so good!!! I wish I was able to replace my old deck with something like this! You did amazing!!
This will last forever! Job really well done and Beautiful!🎉🎉🎉🎉
