Deck questions, answered
Wood or composite — which is better?
Wood costs less up front; composite costs more but needs almost no maintenance and lasts longer. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs for your budget and lifestyle.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We manage permitting and build to code, so your deck is safe and properly inspected.
How long does a deck take to build?
Most residential decks are completed in one to two weeks, depending on size, materials and design complexity.
Can you build multi-level or on a slope?
Definitely. Multi-level and sloped-lot decks are some of our favorite projects — they make the most of tricky yards.
