Deck Construction

A deck is structural carpentry that lives outside, takes weather year-round, and is supposed to hold up your family and a grill full of food without complaint. Most "deck problems" we get called to inspect are footing problems, ledger-board problems, or fastener problems — all of which are invisible until they're catastrophic. We over-engineer the parts you'll never see so the parts you do see hold up for decades.

What's Included

Every Decks Project. Done to the Same Standard.

01

Composite Decking

Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon — capped composite boards that don't rot, splinter, or need annual staining. Hidden fasteners for a clean finish.

02

Pressure-Treated & Cedar Lumber

Traditional wood decks done with proper drainage gaps, stainless or coated fasteners, and finishes that actually penetrate the grain.

03

Code-Compliant Footings

Concrete piers below frost line, attached to posts with proper hardware, sized for your deck's actual load. Inspected. Permitted. Done right.

04

Ledger Board Attachment

Lag-bolted into the rim joist with proper flashing, washers, and waterproofing. This is the #1 cause of deck collapses nationally — we treat it accordingly.

05

Railings & Stairs

Aluminum, cable, glass, or wood railings — installed to code with the correct baluster spacing. Stairs with consistent rise/run that don't feel weird underfoot.

06

Pergolas, Shade & Lighting

Integrated pergolas, low-voltage step lighting, and built-in benches that turn a deck into an actual outdoor room.

Typical Timeline

1–3 weeks depending on size, complexity, and permitting.

What It Usually Costs

Pressure-treated decks: $30–$50 per sq ft installed. Composite decks: $55–$95 per sq ft. Premium materials and multi-level designs run higher.

Every project is priced after an in-home consultation. These ranges are honest ballparks — not bait-and-switch starting prices.
