I've watched a few deck stairs videos and yours is definitely the best. Quick, concise, no fluff. And your concrete method was great! No mixing... just add water, then the concrete, then a little more water. Others go way to in depth on mixing when it's not needed for Quikrete.

Thank you so much!!! We just finished our stair project. Your instructions made it so easy! My husband and I are in our 60's with NO building experience and we did it! Thanks for your videos!!

Thank you so much for this. I have asked multiple people to build stairs off of my back door. I have asked 2 companies to come do it. They either look at it and don't get me a quote, or don't come to give the quote (I must be doing something wrong!! LOLOL!!). My dad said he would but he's 72. My boyfriend said he would that was 3 years ago...

But you just showed me how!! I am ON IT!!! Thank you for making this so simple. I get to save money AND the job will get done!!! Super grateful!

[RenoScruggs]

I wanna say I really appreciate what you’re doing. You’re not boring at all and you actually make it fun learning new things.

How do this guy not get more views!!!! I have learned so much from this channel. I fixed my door problems, I fixed deck issues, i put in new floors throughout my house, I have basically fixed almost everything in my house that has broke or needed replacement just by searching through these videos for last few years....so I just want to say thank you Dustin you have saved me and my family so much money and have helped me tremendously in being a proud homeowner now for over 8 years.

1:05 literally blew my mind. I can't believe I didn't think of that earlier! TRACE Cracked me up for a good 2 minutes. I've been putting off this project because measuring stringers seemed so intimidating. Thanks for the video (and the insight)!!

Dustin, you give everyone the confidence to tackle these projects. Your expertise is appreciated by us viewers of YouTube.

Thank you Dustin.... Old lady home owner here with some carpenters skills. Meaning I can use a skill saw. I’ve never done stairs before . I’m square now... lol
Thanks kiddo

[normawilliams]

Thank You. My steps need to be replaced. Now instead of paying a carpenter I'm going to Do It Myself.
Thank You Again

Can you believe I ran across this video again? Looks like a deck came out and these stairs were put in. I am in this EXACT situation. Thank you for making this video.

[davidholt]

Love this! I'm about to tackle smaller steps than these, but I'm more confident than I was before I watched this! Thanks!

[julyjames]

This video is definitely a template for my diy stare case for my newly purchased trailer Holme. I Never been good with carpentry this lesson was comprehensive enough no fillabustering confident enough I can do the work myself.

[barbl.]

You made this simple and easy... Love the use of the screws to hold stringers into place and then the one for the joist hanger.... On my way to building a set now!

[cocksandcobras]

Thanks, good video, tired of watching videos of people making stairs like they are trying to sell a million dollar home. To the point and low budget, I like.

[MARTINZ]

Dang looks easy. I live in a older mobile home and I think this would work for a simple stairs.

[imsogodsgurl]

I could use yet another baseball analogy, but I won't...on second thought, yes I will. Touch 'em all, Dustin you just knocked it out of the park! I actually understood all of the terminology you used! Go me! LOL (YouTube is still not sending me notifications. Any other subscribers having that problem?)

[ArmyOne]

Great Video. I need to do my back door steps and you made it seem especially easy. Thanks .

[FrankBailey-mguo]

I like how he did stuff cheap, quick, easy and "rough". It's not a $1M mansion. He now has a sturdy, level staircase and simple handrail.

[palaciosfreddy]

Excellent video bud! No bs, wasting time talking about irrelevant matters. Right to the point. Well done
