Frequently Asked Questions
Deck Materials & Design
How do I choose the best decking material?
The best deck material depends on your budget and how much upkeep you want to do. Composite decking needs very little maintenance and lasts a long time, while wood looks classic and natural. We’ll help you pick the right material during your free visit.
How long do decks typically last?
Composite decks usually last 25–30 years, while pressure-treated wood decks last 15–20 years if you take care of them. Cedar and hardwood decks fall in between.
How do you match deck designs to my home style?
We make sure your deck looks like it belongs with your house. From old-fashioned to modern styles, we design decks that seem like they were always part of your home.
How do I figure out the right deck size?
The best size depends on your yard, how you’ll use the deck, and your budget. For eating meals, at least 12′ x 12′ works well. If you want room for a grill and seating area too, 16′ x 20′ is better. We’ll help you plan what fits your needs.
Construction & Installation
Do you get permits for the deck project?
Yes, we handle all the building permits for your deck. We know the rules in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, and make sure everything passes inspection.
How deep do we dig the deck support posts?
We dig deeper than the frost line in your area, usually 32-36 inches in our region. This keeps your deck stable through freezing winters and hot summers.
How do you connect decks to houses safely?
We use proper attachment methods with flashing and strong bolts to create a secure connection that keeps water out of your house while supporting the deck safely.
Do you build free-standing decks?
We build both attached and free-standing decks. Free-standing works well when connecting to the house isn’t possible, for decks around pools, or when you want more freedom in placement.
Timeline & Process
How long does deck building take?
Most decks take 1–3 weeks to build. Simple decks might take just a week, while bigger or more complex projects can take 3–4 weeks. We’ll give you a clear schedule.
How do you deal with bad weather during construction?
We watch the weather forecast and plan accordingly. Rain delays sometimes happen, but we protect materials and your property. We’ll let you know right away about any schedule changes.
What are your deck-building steps?
We start with planning, then choose materials, get permits, mark utilities, install footings, build the frame, lay the decking, add railings, build any extras like stairs, and finish with a final check.
Do you build decks in cold weather?
Yes, we build year-round, though winter projects might take longer because of shorter days and weather delays.
