"D&J are fabulous to work with, and I cannot recommend them enough! They repaired our rotting deck, helping to replace joists, a few rotting posts, switching the deck to composite, adding a new railing, building a custom bar, sanded and restained part of our deck, and replacing the kickplates under the doors to match the new composite. I had tried the traditional way of finding a repair company by doing an Internet search. One company came out but never gave us a quote. I called over a month later and they said they were working on it, but they never responded after that. Another company sent a salesman out to look at the job. He took measurements and said he would get me a quote soon, but it was several weeks later and very expensive (likely more to cover his salary). Frustrated, I went to Angiâ s list (HomeAdvisor) and found D&J. I emailed them late on a Saturday night, and Jason called me the next day. He and Dustin came out that week to look at the job, he got me a quote in just a few days, and their pricing was very reasonable. What I appreciate about D&J is that not only are they reasonably priced, they are the two that you deal with in the whole process. I have found that when there are sales people and installers that often things are not communicated well or mistakes are made (like a salesperson telling you it can be done but the installer saying it canâ t). D&J does it all, so you know exactly what you need, what it will cost, and who will do the work. Plus, theyâ re just great, honest guys. My retired neighbors watched them every day, and they would tell me how hard they worked from about 8:00 to 4:00 every day. They were so impressed that theyâ ve told their family about them. Weâ ve told our family and friends, too, and we plan to use them for some other work at a different house we own. If you want honest guys who are going to give you honest pricing and do an honest dayâ s work, you can do no better than Jason and Dustin. We are so glad we found them, as now we know who our first call will be to whenever we need work down around our house."

"D & D Siding & Construction did a short notice job for me. They replaced all the soffit on my house. They did a great job. Had competitive pricing. Kept the work site clean the entire four days they were on the job. Doug and his son are also really nice guys. They exceeded my expectations. A job very well done."
A treehouse stresses the tree, but proper design keeps that impact manageable. Start with a healthy species, use tree-attachment bolts instead of lag screws, and allow room for future growth. A qualified treehouse builder or arborist can assess load capacity, ensure safe fastening, and monitor the tree’s health after construction.
The time it takes to build a treehouse depends on its size and complexity, and whether you choose a prefab kit or a custom design. A straightforward child's prefab treehouse can be assembled in as little as two days to a week. More complex designs can take two to six weeks. Adding features like plumbing and electricity can add several days to the project timeline. Building a fully livable treehouse can take anywhere from several months to a year.
The best trees for constructing a treehouse are strong and healthy with a minimum diameter of 12 inches. Ideal choices include maple, oak, hemlock, and fir trees. If suitable trees aren't available, you can install additional support posts to reinforce the structure. Consulting with an arborist or local treehouse builder ensures your site is evaluated correctly and your treehouse is securely anchored.
A well-constructed treehouse can last anywhere from 10 to 25 years or more. The lifespan depends on the quality of the materials used and the extent to which they are maintained. Applying weatherproof treatments to the wood can help extend its lifespan. Keep in mind that treehouses in areas with harsh weather conditions may wear faster than those in milder climates.
Building a treehouse for year‑round living is entirely possible when you address both the technical challenges and the lifestyle benefits head‑on. This project requires a secure design that incorporates superior insulation, integrated plumbing, and robust electrical systems, while also creating a sustainable, minimalist, and eco-friendly retreat. To ensure comfort and safety, invest in enhanced structural supports and adhere to strict code-compliance measures. Professional consultation is essential to transform your treehouse into a secure, full-time living space that incorporates off-the-grid and environmentally conscious design.
Plumbing installation in a treehouse is challenging because it requires unique, engineered solutions for an off‑ground structure. This project requires custom-designed water distribution systems, reinforced connections, and specialized adjustments that exceed the standard requirements for home plumbing. In addition, implementing innovative solutions such as composting toilets, rainwater collection systems, and graywater sinks ensures safe operation, efficient drainage, and sustainable water usage. These measures, when combined with rigorous adherence to building codes, guarantee that your treehouse’s plumbing system operates securely and efficiently.
