Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does a deck generally cost to build?
A: Several factors are taken into consideration when pricing a deck-building project. Aside from the type of deck the customer would like, there’s lighting, seating, railing (if any), and accessories (deck inlays, post caps, boat/jet ski lift, etc.)—just to name a few. To help you get a clear idea of the perfect deck for you, we’ll provide you with various designs each at a different price point you can choose from. You can also discuss the project with us by booking a free initial consultation.
Q: How long does building a deck usually take?
A: Since a lot goes into them, deck-building projects can vary in length to a surprisingly great degree. Before getting started on yours, make sure you and the contractor are clear on the timeline and you’re okay with it to avoid getting frustrated or impatient down the line.
Q: Are permits needed for a deck-building project?
A: Decks are considered additions or updates to a house or the surrounding area, and zoning permits are commonly required for these. So, yes, you’ll need to obtain one to have yours built. Deck builders worth their salt always help their customers do so.
Q: What types of materials are ideal for building decks?
A: Needless to say, high-quality materials—like pressure-treated, high-grade lumber and Alkaline Copper Quaternary (ACQ) compliant nails—are ideal for such projects. So yours lasts, check if the contractor will put precautions in place to keep the metal parts rust-free.
Q: What’s more expensive, wood or composite decking?
A: Generally speaking, composite products cost more than those made out of wood. But if you consider how much more it costs to maintain wood decking than its composite counterpart, the latter will actually save you more money in the long run. Decking made out of real wood needs to be sanded down and sealed at least once a year while a composite one doesn’t. The less you need to spend on maintaining your deck, the more money you’ll have for essentials.
Q: Can recapping save a deck from excess wear and tear?
A: No matter how well they’re taken care of, decks eventually develop top rot. This type of decay, which looks like a tooth cavity, forms on the fasteners on top of the boards. It spreads to the shank and into the frame below. Get rid of it by having your deck recapped with composite decking. Doing so will have your deck looking like new again at a reasonable price. For the best possible results, your deck needs to be less than 8 years old and up to code. Also make sure you get your preferred size and shape for the recap.
Q: Is there really such a thing as a no-maintenance deck?
A: Not really. All types of decks need to be maintained to stay looking their best. For example, even decks made of composite materials need to be washed regularly.
Q: Why hire out if I can build my deck myself or my friends can help me?
A: Deck building is a specialized trade. You need specialized knowledge to do it properly while staying within your budget (if you have one) and getting it done on schedule. It requires following guidelines, knowing how to operate the various tools of the trade, and being up to date on the city’s many building codes and ordinances that help protect the public’s health, safety, and general welfare. You wouldn’t trust someone without these kinds of credentials to build your deck, would you?
Q: What types of licenses should I look for in a deck-building contractor?
A: There are many different types of licenses any reputable deck-building contractor needs to have to back up his credentials, but the ones you should check for first are whether the one you’d choose to hire has a general contractor license and a deck or fence license.
Q: Do I need to wait until spring to have my deck built?
A: Not really. We can even build your deck during the winter if needed. Sure, spring would be the best time of the year to have a deck built, what with the great weather and all. But it’s also the peak season for such projects. Having yours during it can take anywhere between 1-3 months to get started. Having it in the winter instead may take longer than usual to adjust to the weather, but rest assured you’ll still get the same level of excellent service.

I immediately called them up and now I have a peaceful reading spot where everybody knows not to bother me. The installation was quick and professional.” – Allan A. |
