About Us
Research, honesty, and clarity for Vilnius homeowners planning backyard projects.
Our Story
We noticed a gap. People in Vilnius planning deck projects found either vague inspiration or overwhelming technical manuals. Nothing in between. No guides that actually explained what materials work here, what the real timeline looks like, or what you're getting into before you commit.
So we started researching. We looked at what timber suppliers actually stock in Lithuania. We checked building standards. We talked to people who'd built decks and learned what surprised them—the seasonal challenges, the finishing options, the tools you actually need versus the ones that seemed necessary.
That's how drexoholm started in 2021. Not as a business, but as a resource. We wanted to document deck building properly—the way someone would explain it to a friend over coffee, with all the details they'd actually want to know.
Now we maintain guides on material selection, construction steps, design considerations, and seasonal factors. We update them regularly. We check details. And we keep things honest—acknowledging trade-offs instead of overselling solutions.
Our Method
Each tutorial is researched, verified, and kept current with Vilnius-specific details.
We verify which timber species are actually available from local suppliers in Lithuania, including pricing ranges and seasonal variations.
Step-by-step techniques are checked against building standards and practical feedback from completed projects in the region.
We account for Vilnius weather patterns—moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and seasonal maintenance needs that affect deck longevity.
We're specific about what tools you actually need, what's nice to have, and realistic timeframes for the work involved.
Local building codes, safety requirements, and practical design considerations are included in every relevant guide.
We review guides seasonally and update information as products, suppliers, and best practices evolve in the market.
Editorial Values
We explain things in straightforward language. If technical terms are necessary, we define them. No unnecessary complexity.
Different materials and methods have advantages and disadvantages. We show both sides so you can make decisions that fit your situation.
Generic advice isn't helpful. We include concrete information—dimensions, timelines, local suppliers, seasonal considerations.
We don't oversell solutions or pretend projects are simpler than they are. You'll know what you're getting into before you start.
