Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to complete our deck?
Decks typically take 1-2 weeks, depending on the project size.
What’s the warranty?
The warranty depends on the material. For example, our treated wood framing has a 10-year structural warranty, but we do not offer a warranty on wood decking. Depending on the low-maintenance product choice, the manufacturer’s warranty can range from 20-50 years.
What is the price difference between wood and composite decking?
When building a new deck, choosing wood or composite for your new space is a significant factor. Then the follow-up question is how much more is composite to treated lumber. On average, wood decking will start at around $6 per square foot, whereas composite can run between $10-15 per square foot. It’s important to note that while wood decking upfront appears to be less expensive, it requires more care and maintenance over time. You must seal and stain wood decks every few years to protect against weathering and rotting.
On the other hand, composite decking requires little to no maintenance due to its resistance to rot, splinters, and fading. In the long run, the cost may even out. Ultimately, the choice between wood and composite decking comes is the client’s preference and budget. It’s essential for the consumer to carefully weigh the cost and benefits when deciding since both materials come uniquely with their advantages and drawbacks.
Can you help me design my deck?
Yes! Our team can work with you to create a custom deck design that meets your needs and fits your budget.
Can you build in the winter?
Yes, although there are many limitations in the winter due to the Midwest climate, we can still build even in harsh weather. We have adapted and found processes that still allow us to provide a quality product.
Do I need a permit?
The need for a permit depends on the municipality and the project. You can check with the building department to see your local codes.
Do composite decks get hot in the sun?
Short answer, yes. When exposed to direct sunlight, composite decking can reach high temperatures making it uncomfortable for you and your pet to walk on.
To combat the heat that comes along with composite decking, you can:
- Choose a lighter color composite decking that won’t absorb as much sunlight
- Provide shade with a pergola, awning, or umbrella
- Lay down outdoor rugs
How long will my deck last?
The lifespan of your deck depends on several factors, such as the type of materials used and the level of maintenance. A properly maintained pressured treated wood deck typically lasts between 20 and 25 years, while composite decks can last up to 50 plus years with proper maintenance.
