Talk to the People Who Will Build Your Deck

Deck failures are almost never the boards. They are the ledger connection at the house and the footings underneath, both of which are invisible once it is finished and both of which are where corners get cut.

We build those to code, flash the wall properly, and give you a fixed written price for the finished deck including rails and steps.

    Deck Questions Homeowners Ask

    Before You Call Anyone, Read This

    Composite costs more up front and asks almost nothing of you afterwards. Wood costs less and wants cleaning and sealing on a schedule. Neither is wrong. It comes down to whether you would rather pay once or maintain it.

    The ledger is the board fastening the deck to the house. Improperly attached or unflashed ledgers are the single most common cause of deck failures, and the failure mode is the whole deck coming away from the house. We fasten and flash it properly, every time.

    Yes, dug to depth and sized for the load. Blocks set on grade move with the ground, and a deck that moves takes its railings and its ledger connection with it.

    Usually once the deck is above a certain height or attached to the house. We confirm what applies and pull it.

    Longer than most people get, if the footings, the ledger and the flashing were done right and the material is maintained as its type requires. The structure underneath decides the lifespan, not the boards on top.

    Only if the frame and footings are genuinely sound, and we will tell you honestly after inspecting them. Putting new boards on a failing frame is money spent on the wrong half of the deck.

    Both are governed by height and geometry requirements, and stairs in particular are where DIY decks most often go wrong. They are built to spec and inspected with the rest.

    By size, height, material and how the ground sits. Fixed written price after we look at it, at no charge.

    What a Deck Covers

    These are the pieces we price. You decide the surface and the extras.

    Footings

    Piers to the depth the county requires, sized for the load rather than for the quote.

    Ledger and Flashing

    Bolted into framing with proper flashing, which is the single most common point of failure.

    Surface

    Pressure treated, cedar or composite, with the trade offs in cost and upkeep laid out plainly.

    Rails and Steps

    Rail height, baluster spacing and stair rise built to code, which matters for inspection and insurance.

    Lighting and Power

    Stair and rail lighting plus outdoor rated outlets, run before the boards go down.

    Adding a Roof Later

    If a cover might come later, we frame for it now so it does not mean rebuilding.

    Structure

    The Two Details That Decide Everything

    The ledger at the house and the footings in the ground. Get those right and a deck lasts decades. Get them wrong and the surface hides the problem until it does not.

    We photograph both before the boards go on, so you can see what you paid for.

    Materials

    Wood or Composite, Honestly Compared

    Composite costs more up front and asks almost nothing of you afterwards. Pressure treated costs less and wants cleaning and sealing on a schedule you will resent in year four.

    Neither is the right answer for everyone. We will tell you what each looks like in five years in this climate.

    Planning Ahead

    If a Roof Might Come Later, Say So Now

    Adding a cover to a deck that was not framed for one usually means rebuilding the structure. Framing for it at the start costs very little.

    Same with a hot tub or an outdoor kitchen. Tell us the maybe, and we will build so the maybe stays possible.

    Home Value

    A Sound Deck Is Assumed, a Bad One Is Priced

    Buyers rarely pay extra for a deck. They do subtract for one that moves underfoot, has rails at the wrong height, or shows rot at the wall.

    Built and permitted properly, it stays out of the inspection report, which is where it earns its money back.
