Decks

If you are looking for an effective way to add function and beauty to your yard, building a deck is a smart option. The addition of a deck is a great way to add entertainment space, especially during the warmer months. From barbecues to backyard birthday parties, a deck is a great way to bring your lifestyle outside. A deck is also a great way to improve the overall aesthetic appeal of your home, and increase your home’s value. Buyers are drawn to curb appeal, and a beautiful deck is a definite bonus.

Frequently Asked Questions on Decks

Do you need a permit for a deck next to your house?

Will a new deck add value to my home?

How often do you need to seal a wood deck?

It's best to seal your wood deck yearly but if it's in good condition, you may be able to wait longer. Make sure to seal it at most every three years.

What is the life expectancy of composite decking?

Although composite decks are more expensive, they can last for 25-30 years with the right care. This can make them a great investment in the long-term value of your home.

How long does the average wood deck last?

Professionally built wood decks tend to last 10-15 years, although it can depend on the type of wood and how well you take care of it. Frequently sealing your wood deck can help keep it in good shape.

How do I keep my composite deck from fading?

Regularly cleaning your composite deck is the best way to prevent fading. Our team can recommend the best cleaning products for your deck to keep it looking new.

What materials can I have my deck made out of?

Your outdoor deck can be made of wood, composite, and plastic. There are a variety of different wood options including cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated.

How long will it take to build my deck?

How long it takes to build your deck depends on the size of the deck youre looking for, the material its made out of, and how extensive the project is.

Although the up-front material costs look cheaper when building a deck on your own, the total costs often end up higher for DIY builds. Our experienced team of deck builders can ensure a safe and study structure with a professionally designed deck to meet all your needs. We often find that decks built without a professional require more money and time to redo the work.

Should I replace my wood deck with composite?

The choice of wood or composite materials for your deck is a personal choice, depending on which style you like best. However, composite decks do require less maintenance and do not pose a risk of splinters, which may be appealing for families with young children.
