Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What types of decks do you build?

We specialize in custom-built decks designed to suit your specific needs and preferences. Our offerings include:

  • Wood Decks: A classic option for those who love the natural beauty and warmth of real wood.
  • Composite Decks: Made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastics, these decks are low-maintenance and incredibly durable.
  • Multi-Level Decks: Perfect for creating distinct zones for relaxation, dining, and entertaining.
  • Custom Designs: Whether you want built-in seating, planters, or unique shapes, we can make it happen.

No matter the scope of your project, from simple backyard decks to expansive structures, our team is committed to bringing your vision to life.

2. How long does it take to build a deck?

The timeline for deck construction can vary based on several factors:

  • Deck Size: Larger decks naturally take more time to complete.
  • Complexity: Adding custom features like lighting, pergolas, or multi-level structures can extend the timeline.
  • Weather Conditions: Unpredictable weather may cause delays.

On average, most decks are completed within 3 to 10 days, but we will provide you with a detailed timeline during the consultation phase.

4. What is composite decking, and why should I consider it?

Composite decking is a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood decks. Made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastics, it offers several advantages:

  • Durability: Resistant to rot, mold, and insect damage.
  • Low Maintenance: No need for staining, sealing, or frequent repairs.
  • Longevity: Typically lasts longer than wood decks.
  • Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled materials.
  • Appearance: Available in a variety of colors and textures to mimic the look of wood.

If you want a long-lasting deck that requires minimal upkeep, composite decking is a fantastic choice.

5. Can I add custom features like lighting, pergolas, etc.?

Yes, we love bringing your outdoor space to life with custom features! Popular options include:

  • Deck Lighting: Enhance safety and ambiance with built-in lights, post lights, or stair lighting.
  • Pergolas: Create a shaded area for relaxation and style.
  • Built-In Seating: Benches and seating that integrate seamlessly with your deck design.
  • Privacy Screens: For added comfort and seclusion.
  • Railing Options: Choose from wood, metal, glass, or composite railings.

Let us know what you envision, and we’ll design a deck that meets your needs.

6. What is the best time of year to build a deck?

The best time to build a deck is any time of the year! Here’s a breakdown by season:

  • Spring: Get your deck ready before summer arrives.
  • Summer: The peak season for deck construction; perfect for immediate use.
  • Fall: Cooler temperatures and reduced wait times make fall a great option.
  • Winter: While weather conditions can sometimes pose challenges, winter builds can mean quicker start times and completion.

Whenever you’re ready to build, we’re ready to get started!

7. How do I maintain my deck once it’s built?

Proper maintenance ensures your deck stays beautiful and functional for years. Here are some tips:

  • Wood Decks:
    • Cleaning: Sweep regularly and clean with mild soap or a specialized deck cleaner.
    • Sealing & Staining: Reapply stain and sealant every 2-3 years to protect against moisture and sun damage.
  • Composite Decks:
    • Cleaning: Use a soft brush and mild detergent to remove dirt and debris.
    • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from abrasive cleaners that may damage the surface.

We offer maintenance services and advice to help you keep your deck looking its best.

Decks, Decks, & More Decks made the process from start to finish so easy. The 3D computer program they use helped my wife and I decide on the size and materials of the deck. The construction crew built the deck as if they were building their own with precision and care. There may be other companies out there that are less expensive but you get great customer service, a reputable company, and good craftsmanship when you select Decks, Decks, & More Decks.

Had them redo our deck in Aug 2018. It was a GREAT experience working with Robert Walker very pleasant and easy to work with. Provided us with specific information on the step by step process from the moment we signed the contract until the deck was complete. The crew that came to our house was professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this company. They also give a military discount for veterans. Professional from top to bottom.

Love, love, love our new deck!! We went from a small builder deck to a roomy, maintenance-free extended living area. We designed the deck in their showroom to fit our desires, lifestyle and budget. It was great to see 3D computer images of what our new deck would look like before it was built! Every detail was documented and double checked. The crew was there when they said they would be there, and they cleaned up every night before they left...We highly recommend Decks, Decks & More Decks. Our deck has exceeded our expectations.

From the initial consultation through the construction process, this was the best experience we have ever had with a contractor. The communication, attention to detail, and professionalism was second to none. Every day we look out at our new composite deck we love it more and more. We wish we could give six stars, we would.

We are so happy with our new deck and appreciate all the hard work. They helped us with a design to fit our budget and our needs. Great communication and timing was perfect.
