Collection: Deck Safety Checklist (Homeowner and Contractor Editions)

Is your deck safe? This 4-page fillable PDF walks you through every part of a deck, from the ledger attachment and footings to the framing, surface, guards and stairs. You rate each item No issue, Monitor, Concern or Urgent, then rank your findings in a priority list. Plain-language tips and typical code measurements help you know what to look for. The Homeowner Edition is a self-check you can finish in under an hour. The Contractor Edition is a professional field form with assessor and customer sign-off, plus a separate access-work authorization. Fill it out on screen or print it. It’s a visual safety checklist only, not a home inspection, engineering evaluation, repair estimate or warranty. Created by Cornerstone Decks and Additions and Pilkington Woodworks, Inc., with 40+ years of deck-building experience. Instant digital download.
