Mr. Handyman, a home improvement service provider, offers a deck material calculator on its website, designed to simplify the deck-building process for homeowners. This tool allows users to estimate the materials required for building their decks, taking into account different design and material preferences.

According to Mr. Handyman, the deck material calculator can be used for both composite and wood decking, providing a list of materials including deck boards, joists, posts, and fasteners. The spokesperson for Mr. Handyman stated, "Our deck material calculator estimates the quantity of materials you’ll need to build your deck, including deck boards, joists, posts, and fasteners. Simply input your deck dimensions (length, width, height), board size, and spacing preference. The deck calculator then generates a materials list. Our goal is to help you avoid overbuying or coming up short mid-project."

The calculator is also capable of generating a rough cost estimate, although Mr. Handyman advises that actual project costs may vary due to regional price differences. "A deck material calculator is meant only to give you a deck material cost estimate, not a final price," the company advises. Users are encouraged to add a 10% to 15% buffer for precision due to potential human error and architectural complexities.

Mr. Handyman offers various services related to deck building, including on-site assessments for custom features like stairs and railings. "Once you’ve used our deck calculator to get a ballpark idea of what you’ll need, our experienced service professionals can step in to bring your deck to life," they said.

To use the deck material calculator effectively, users should input specific project details, such as deck length and width, preferred board and joist spacing, and orientation. The company emphasizes the importance of checking local building codes and securing permits prior to construction.

For further assistance, Mr. Handyman encourages potential customers to contact their local franchise or visit their website to request service online. "The experts at Mr. Handyman will work with you to select the materials and confirm the deck measurements," they affirm, highlighting their commitment to quality craftsmanship.
