About P. A. Stratton & Co., Inc.
As more and more homeowners are building their own decks, they are finding that probably the most difficult and time consuming task is that of attaching the deck to the house. Generally it was required to remove or cut the siding, pre-fit the ledger board, and while holding the ledger, bolt it to the house. Then add joist hangers, flashing, trim around the ledger and patch in the siding.
Paul Stratton, a builder from Milan, Ohio, decided that there had to be a better way, so he invented and patented the "Stratton Deck Bracket"®.
The brackets bolt directly against the siding. It's offset design holds the ledger board about 1/2" away from the house, allowing air to circulate around the ledger, preventing water from seeping into the house. The ledger can also expand and contract without affecting its securement to the house because it "sits" in the "Stratton Deck Brackets".
Stratton has specialized in building decks since 1988. Every time he uses his deck brackets people are not only amazed at how easy the decks can be built and then set into place, but also because the brackets were used for hanging steps, arbors, flower boxes, and even a small collapsible work bench. Large decks are no problem either, built in sections they can then be set into the deck brackets.
