Trevor Wegner spent years chasing endangered birds, commercial salmon fishing in Alaska, and writing environmental permits for road projects before he ever picked up a framing hammer. Now he's five years into his own deck business in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, building through -20 winters. On this episode we get into helical piles versus poured concrete, why treated LVL beats southern yellow pine on a frame, what a 42-inch frost depth does to your footing budget, and why one homeowner called 40 deck companies and only six called him back. We also talk about the part nobody warns you about: the sale is harder than the build.
