Case Study: Deck Update with MyFixitUpLife
Installer: Mark and Theresa Clement aka MyFixitUpLife
Products Installed: RailFX Express Mount Bracket™
Mark and Theresa Clement are a match made in heaven. Theresa handles design duties while her licensed contractor husband handles the builds. When they decided to install the RailFX Express Mount Bracket™ system on a new deck, it was an easy choice.
In his article published in the September/October 2024 issue of Professional Deck Builder Magazine, Clement points out that he mainly builds with pressure-treated (PT) southern pine because it’s affordable and durable. While most of his clients want an expanded view, traditional cable railing systems run around $10,000 and aren’t in the budget for a new build or remodel. With the RailFX Express Mount Bracket™ system, he can offer gorgeous views at a third of the price.
Clement walks readers through the installation process, highlighting the differences between a traditional wood railing and a cable railing. One difference is installing a 2×4 between the posts, which he’s keeping for all his deck builds because of the aesthetic.
If you’re getting ready to install your own RailFX Express Mount Bracket™ system, check out his article and this video of the gorgeous pine deck build from MyFixitUpLife.
