How long does it take to design and build a custom deck?

The timeline varies depending on the size and complexity of your project. Design and permitting typically take one to three weeks. Construction can take anywhere from one to four weeks, depending on the deck's size, features, and weather conditions. We provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout the process.

What is the cost of a custom deck?

The cost of a custom deck depends on several factors including size, materials, design complexity, and any special features you want. We offer free estimates and work with you to create a design that fits your budget. Our goal is to give you the best value without compromising on quality or craftsmanship.

Can I add features to my deck later?

Yes, many features can be added after your deck is built. This includes lighting, pergolas, built-in seating, or even expanding the deck itself. However, planning these features during the initial design phase is often more cost-effective and ensures better integration with the overall structure.

What Makes a Deck Custom

A custom deck is built specifically for your home and yard. It takes into account the size and shape of your property, the slope of your land, the orientation of your house, and how you plan to use the space. Custom decks also give you complete control over materials, finishes, colors, and features. You decide what works best for your budget and your lifestyle.

Here are some of the elements that make a deck truly custom:

Layout and shape designed to fit your yard and home architecture
Choice of materials including wood, composite, or PVC decking
Custom railing styles, stairs, and safety features
Built-in seating, planters, or storage solutions
Lighting, electrical outlets, and ceiling fans for added comfort
Shade structures like pergolas or patio covers
Integration with existing landscaping, pools, or outdoor kitchens

Every custom deck we build is unique because every homeowner has different needs and preferences. We take the time to understand what you want and then create a design that delivers exactly that.

The Design Process

Building a custom deck starts with thoughtful planning and design. We begin by meeting with you to discuss your goals, budget, and timeline. During this consultation, we ask questions about how you plan to use the deck, what features are most important to you, and what style you prefer. We also inspect your property to assess the site conditions, soil quality, and any potential challenges.

Once we have a clear understanding of your needs, we create a detailed design proposal that includes layout plans, material recommendations, and a cost estimate. You have the opportunity to review the design, ask questions, and request changes before we finalize anything. We want you to feel confident and excited about your new deck before construction begins.

Our team works closely with you throughout the design phase to ensure every detail is perfect. We also handle all necessary permits and coordinate with local building departments to ensure your deck meets safety codes and regulations. You do not have to worry about the paperwork or logistics. We take care of everything so you can focus on enjoying the process.

Installation and Craftsmanship

Once the design is approved and permits are secured, we move forward with installation. Our crew arrives on time, prepared with all the tools and materials needed to build your deck efficiently and correctly. We follow industry best practices for foundation work, framing, decking installation, and finishing touches. Every board is measured, cut, and secured with precision to ensure a professional result.

We use high-quality materials from trusted manufacturers and stand behind our workmanship with solid warranties. Whether you choose pressure-treated wood decking or low-maintenance composite materials, we ensure proper installation that will last for decades. We also keep the job site clean and organized throughout the project and communicate with you regularly about progress and timelines.

When the installation is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. We answer any questions you have about deck care and maintenance and provide you with warranty information. Our goal is to deliver a finished product that you will be proud to show off to your neighbors and enjoy for years to come.
