OUR STORY
Hello! My name is Joe Huss and I am the CEO and founder of The DeckHand Company. I established my company in the spring of 2023. Being an avid DIYer, I’ve always tried to tackle home improvement projects to save money and learn new skills. I have experience in building decks, remodeling houses, shingling roofs, and working with trusses.
However, I kept running into problems while trying to do these projects by myself. I wanted to create something that would not only effectively assist me but would also be efficient and safe. My ideas manifested in the creation and development of tools that I believe will be in demand and utilized by everyone spanning from DIYers like myself, to commercial contractors in the building industry.
The DeckHand Extender: This product allows a single worker to install
floor joists on a deck. Whether it is a deck three feet off the ground or a
second story deck, the DeckHand Extender easily allows a single worker to
install all joists accurately. Most ideally, The DeckHand Extender allows for
hands free- giving way to the ability to use power tools, install fasteners and
joist hangers.
The DeckHand Spacer: This high-strength polypropylene Spacer is perfect
for the DIY builder to accurately measure spacing on joists, studded walls,
and roof trusses. The Spacer eliminates measuring with a tape measure and
keeps hands free to safely secure joists or trusses with any tool. Installation
times are faster with the Spacer and the DIY builder can do the job alone.
Contractors will also save because fewer workers are needed on a job site to
assist, and money is saved on labor times.
The DeckHand SpacerPro: Like the DeckHand Spacer, the SpacerPro
accurately measures floor joists and roof trusses. Both products measure for
16” and 24” centers, but the SpacerPro also includes 12” centering. The
SpacerPro is made of grade A steel and has a powder-coated finish to protect
against rust. Still light enough for easy use, the SpacerPro is ideal for
contractors who may use it daily.
When I started The DeckHand company, my goal was to provide accurate,
efficient, and safe products. When you try my products out on your next
project, you’ll quickly see the cost and time-saving benefits as well as the
accuracy and ease that come with using The DeckHand Company tools.
Best of luck with your project!
Sincerely,
Joe Huss
CEO & Founder of the DeckHand Company
