Decks, Decks, Decks!
With all the gorgeous weather we’ve been having lately, homeowners are starting to dream about decks, and some are even thinking about building three and four season porches to enjoy every last minute of the sun.
We’ve been building decks all last week and this week we are starting another one.
Some decks are simple cedar with aluminum spindles, some are using composite material such as Trex or Rhino decking. There are many patterns and colors available with composite decking. Spindles also have many more options-iron, wood, aluminum, and composite in a variety of styles, shapes, and colors.
Whether it is a simple deck, or an elaborate dream to turn the outdoors into living space all year round, we can help make it happen.
Missing Shingles
In the past month, Iron River Construction has installed 11 new roofs that were paid for by insurance. Many of these roofs were just missing one or two shingles, but the original roofing material is no longer available-therefore the entire roof needs to be replaced because there was no way to match the existing shingles. There are several types of shingles and colors that fall under this rule- let one of our field reps come out and see if your roof qualifies for a complete replacement.
Winner!
The big winner of the Firepit with the s’mores and accessories from the Waconia Home and Business Fair was Freddy Villeyas from Waconia. Congratulations, Freddy! Thanks to all who entered.

Insurance adjusters
We are excited to announce that Tracy is now a licensed insurance adjuster. Tracy went to Texas this past December and took her Property/Casualty All Lines adjuster test. As a licensed adjuster we now know what the insurance companies are basing their decisions on when determining damage. Why Texas? A Texas adjuster’s license allows the license holder to practice in 32 states, including Minnesota. Just another testament to our ongoing quest to provide our customers the highest level of knowledge and expertise.
