In this episode of the Fence and Deck Mastery Podcast, Alex Danner sits down with Clark Crosson, owner of Crosstek Construction in Alabama, who won back-to-back first-place awards at the NADRA Summit in the Closed Porch category. Clark shares his journey as a general contractor, his shift from managing a team to running a solo operation, and his approach to winning industry awards.

Key topics include:

• How Clark won two consecutive NADRA awards and what set his projects apart.
• His approach to project submissions, including the importance of professional photography.
• The differences between deck building trends in Alabama vs. other parts of the U.S.
• Why covered porches are more popular than open decks in the South.
• The value of NADRA networking and industry events.
