Most homeowners have no idea what they should be getting from their builder. That’s why I made the checklist.
You don’t need to spend thousands on some “builder’s book.” You just need a clear, practical guide that helps you make selection decisions, avoid mistakes, and stay in control during your build.

Even if you’re going with a composite deck, the frame underneath is still wood and that’s what ends up rotting if it’s not protected.
Deck Tape:
✅ Waterproofs the top of the joists
✅ Seals around fasteners to block moisture
✅ Helps prevent rot and premature failure
✅ Extends the life of your entire deck frame
You can use traditional tape or a roll-on liquid (half the price). Either one does the job just don’t skip it.
Does giving the Contractors food and beer (at the end of the day) actually help, or just get in the way of the work?
It’s not required, but I think stuff like this goes a long way.
Seems like the right thing to do and shows appreciation to those who are building your house.

Wall niches in a new build… 👍 or 👎?
They can look sharp and be a perfect spot to display something cool but if you don’t plan ahead, it’s just a dust collector.
👉 TIP:
✅ Frame it early
✅ Add an arch if that’s your style
✅ And run wiring if you want it lit (you won’t be fishing wire later through drywall)
So... Are they worth the detail or better to keep it clean and skip?
Curious what you’d do 👇
