"My husband and I recently purchased a home with a deck overlooking wetlands. We quickly realized we needed to turn the deck into a screened-in porch because of mosquitoes. We contacted Stumps and were blown away by the professionalism from our first encounter to the final details upon completion. Anthony, Mark, Jon and their incredible design and construction teams made this a seamless and trouble-free process all the way through. They were very knowledgeable, courteous, respectful, punctual, and accommodating. We now have a beautiful screened-in deck with ceiling fan, recessed lighting, and lighting on railing. The final product exceeded our expectations. Their design team determined we could have a cambered truss and, in fact, recommended it. So they reached out to us and offered it at no extra cost. This was a remarkable gesture. We have worked with many contractors over the years and Stumps Decks and Porches is heads and shoulders above any that we have ever worked with, hands down. Kudos to this company for being a role model in professionalism. We have recommended them to neighbors and get many compliments on the screened-in porch. It looks as if it was built with the house."

"Overall everything went very smooth. We stopped in to their location in Limerick to check out a few sheds and completed an order form. They sent someone out to our house to check the area where the shed would be to confirm they wouldn't have any issues with the site prep. Once the shed came in they sent someone out to do the site prep and later that same day the shed was delivered. The shed looks great, colors matched very closely to our house and the quality of the shed appears to be very good as well. Very satisfied with the purchase."

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.
