Frequently asked questions
Here are the most common questions homeowners ask before starting a remodeling project.
Deck projects may include composite decks, pressure-treated wood decks, ground-level decks, elevated decks, multi-level decks, wraparound decks, deck expansions, replacements, and custom outdoor living spaces.
The appropriate design depends on the home, property, intended use, and project requirements.
The best material depends on your priorities.
Composite decking is often selected for reduced maintenance and consistent appearance.
Wood offers a traditional appearance and can generally be stained or refinished, but requires more ongoing maintenance.
Material cost, exposure, surface temperature, appearance, lifespan, and maintenance should all be considered.
Yes. An existing deck can be removed and rebuilt based on the new layout, materials, structural requirements, and project goals.
The condition of the home connection, footings, framing, and surrounding property should be evaluated before determining the scope.
A deck may be expanded when the existing structure and property conditions allow it.
The current framing, supports, footings, connections, layout, materials, and applicable requirements need to be reviewed first.
Multi-level decks can create separate outdoor zones and provide access to different elevations of the home or property.
The design must consider structure, stairs, railings, traffic flow, and available space.
Railings, guards, stairs, and landings can be included as part of a new deck, replacement, expansion, or approved improvement project.
Pergolas and other shade structures may be included depending on the deck design, structural requirements, property, and project scope.
Covered roof structures generally involve additional engineering, foundations, drainage, and permitting considerations.
Many deck projects require permits and inspections.
Requirements depend on the municipality, deck size, height, attachment method, structural scope, and other project conditions.
The timeline depends on design, permits, material availability, demolition, site access, weather, inspections, deck size, structural complexity, and additional features.
A more realistic schedule can be provided after reviewing the project scope.
Deck construction costs vary based on:
- Deck size
- Height
- Number of levels
- Site access
- Demolition
- Footings
- Framing
- Decking material
- Railing system
- Stair configuration
- Lighting
- Privacy features
- Pergolas
- Finish details
- Property conditions
A consultation and property evaluation are required before providing reliable pricing.
Maintenance depends largely on the material.
Wood decks generally require periodic cleaning, inspection, sealing, staining, or painting.
Composite and other manufactured materials may require less routine maintenance but still need cleaning and inspection.
Manufacturer instructions should be followed for the selected product.
Lighting can be included in stairs, posts, railings, walls, or surrounding outdoor areas.
Electrical requirements and fixture locations should be planned before construction reaches the finishing stage.
Under-deck storage may be possible depending on deck height, drainage, access, ventilation, landscaping, and intended use.
The area should be planned so water does not become trapped around structural components.
Partial repairs may be appropriate when damage is limited and the remaining structure is in suitable condition.
When deterioration is widespread or structural components are compromised, replacement may be the more practical solution.
It is useful to involve a contractor before finalizing dimensions, materials, railing systems, or major purchases.
Early construction input can help identify structural, access, permit, drainage, and property limitations.
