Wisconsin Builder Achieves Beautiful, Worry-free Decking Results with CAMO® Edge Fastening System from National Nail

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Don Lindner thought retirement would be quieter. After spending more than 20 years specializing in residential repairs and renovations, Lindner Builders of Sussex, Wisconsin officially closed its doors in 2016. The problem is the phone never stopped ringing.

"I established a good reputation for quality work over the past four or five decades," says Lindner. "Pretty much everyone in the area knows who I am, so I continue to get calls for everything from roofing and siding to interior repairs and decking. I'm certainly a lot busier than I thought I would be at this stage of life."

The good news is that Lindner didn't have to hire a crew or find new help since he is used to working primarily by himself. "Prior to starting my own company, I spent years working for other builders," explains Lindner. "When I went out on my own, I decided to do everything my way, building everything from garages to second-story additions. I never sacrificed quality, but I was always open to a better way -- anything that would speed up the job or make the whole process easier."

That included trying the CAMO® Edge Fastening System for the first time several years ago. Building about two decks per year throughout his career, Lindner was immediately impressed by its speed and precision. Developed by National Nail, this unique system quickly and easily drives screws into the edge of deck boards to deliver beautiful, fastener-free surface results with virtually any wood, composite or PVC decking. Extensive field testing has also shown it to reduce cracking, moisture absorption and racking, while adding structural stability.

According to Lindner, CAMO paid immediate benefits. On previous jobs, much of his time was spent aligning deck boards, drilling holes and then face fastening the screws – extremely tedious and time-consuming tasks for a one-man crew.

"CAMO reduced my deck building time by 75 percent," offers Lindner. "It's just so easy to use. The system's guides automatically space the boards and then it's just a matter of inserting the screws into the guides and driving them into edges of each board. Plus, I work year-round. The temperature can dip to 10°F in the winter. So, I'm extremely grateful for anything that gets me out of the cold sooner than expected."

Since learning about CAMO, Lindner has built nearly one dozen decks with the system. These have ranged from simple 12 ft. x 16 ft. rectangles to a 500 sq. ft. multi-tier structure that wraps around the back of a luxury, lakefront home.

"I still get a lot of calls, but none related to the decks I've already built," adds Lindner. "My customers love the clean, fastener-free look of the deck surface. Another benefit is that the system really holds up to the weather, which can get harsh with severe winds, ice and snow throughout the winter. I've never received a single call about a loose board or any other problem. This has allowed me to focus on retirement. That is, when I have the time."
