Sometimes the smallest details end up meaning the most.

Last year, we completed this Deckorators composite deck overlooking a beautiful wooded backyard. During the project, we learned that the wife is an avid bird lover and spent a lot of time watching the different species that visit their property.

As a surprise finishing touch, our team built three custom birdhouses using matching Deckorators composite decking so they would blend seamlessly into the deck design.

But we didn't just build decorative birdhouses.

Before making them, we asked which birds they saw most often and researched the preferred birdhouse dimensions for those species. Different birds prefer different entry hole sizes, mounting heights, and interior dimensions, so each birdhouse was built with those details in mind.

We also designed the roofs with hinged tops so they can be opened, inspected, and cleaned out between seasons—an important step for encouraging future nesting.

Yesterday, the homeowner sent us these photos showing the first nest and eggs inside one of the birdhouses.

Seeing families enjoy the spaces we build is always rewarding. Seeing a family of birds move in too? That's a pretty cool bonus.

Thanks for sharing the update with us—we couldn't be more excited.
