Decking Services Frequently Asked Questions
How much will my deck cost?
Every deck we build is custom, so pricing depends on size, materials, elevation, and features. Most projects fall within a range based on complexity and finishes. During your consultation, we provide a clear, detailed estimate so you know exactly what you’re investing in — no surprises, no hidden costs. Our goal is to design a deck that fits both your vision and your budget.
What material should I choose — wood, composite, or PVC?
The right material comes down to your priorities, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
- Cedar decking offers timeless, natural beauty with rich grain and character. It’s a great choice for homeowners who appreciate the warmth and authenticity of real wood.
- Composite decking delivers long-term durability with minimal maintenance. It resists fading, staining, and rot — making it ideal for busy households who want performance without the upkeep.
- PVC decking provides premium durability with virtually no maintenance, along with expanded design flexibility for custom finishes and refined craftsmanship.
During your consultation, we’ll break down the pros, long-term value, and performance of each option so you can choose with confidence — knowing your deck will match both your vision and your lifestyle
How long will the project take?
Most deck builds are completed within a few weeks once permits are approved. The exact timeline depends on size and design complexity. We provide a clear schedule upfront and keep you informed every step of the way, so you always know what’s happening.
Do I need a permit?
In most cases, yes — and we handle it for you. We ensure your deck meets all local building codes and safety requirements. You can have peace of mind knowing your project is done correctly and professionally from the ground up.
How long will my deck last?
When built properly with quality materials, a deck can last decades. Wood decks typically last 15–25 years with proper maintenance, while composite decks can last 25–50 years. We build with structural integrity in mind, using proven construction methods that stand the test of time.
What kind of maintenance is required?
Maintenance depends on the material you choose — and we help you select the option that fits your lifestyle.
- Cedar decking requires periodic staining or sealing (typically every 1-2 years) to protect against moisture, UV exposure, and natural weathering. With proper care, cedar maintains its rich color and beauty for years. Without maintenance, it will naturally fade to a silver-gray patina.
- Composite decking requires very little upkeep. There’s no need for staining or sealing — just occasional cleaning with soap and water to remove dirt and debris. It resists rot, insects, fading, and staining, making it a low-maintenance, long-term solution.
- PVC decking is the most maintenance-friendly option. It does not absorb moisture and is highly resistant to mold, mildew, scratching, and staining. Like composite, it only requires light cleaning, making it ideal for homeowners who want maximum durability with minimal effort.
During your consultation, we’ll walk you through the long-term care expectations of each material so you can confidently choose the level of maintenance that works best for you.
Can you design something that fits my home and yard?
Absolutely. We specialize in custom deck design. Whether you want a simple, functional space or a multi-level entertainment area with built-in seating, lighting, or a covered section, we design to complement your home’s architecture and maximize your outdoor living space.
Will this add value to my home?
Yes — professionally built decks consistently rank among the top exterior home improvements for return on investment. Beyond resale value, they expand your usable living space and enhance curb appeal, making your home more attractive to future buyers.
What warranty do you offer?
We stand firmly behind both our materials and our craftsmanship.
Most composite and PVC decking products come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 25 to 50 years, protecting against defects, fading, and performance issues. We’ll walk you through the specific coverage for the materials you choose so you fully understand what’s protected.
In addition, we provide a 5-year workmanship warranty on every deck we build. That means your investment is backed not only by premium materials, but by our commitment to quality construction and attention to detail.
We build every deck as if it were our own — and we stand behind it long after the final board is installed
