A Deck Increases Your Home’s Value

Like a remodel or any home upgrade, adding an outdoor living area adds immense value to your home. You’ll get back everything you spend or more with the additional curb appeal. It will also increase your chances of selling, when and if you do sell.

Decks Built for Parties

If you enjoy having friends and family an elite custom-built deck is the perfect way to add functional space where people can gather and enjoy one another. Decks are open and in the fresh air – so much better than a claustrophobic crowded room. Clean-up is easy on a deck, and everybody loves a good barbecue.

Merry Christmas to All

The end of the year is upon us. It’s been a wonderful year, and we’re looking forward to all the new decks in Omaha for 2019. We want to thank all of our customers and let everyone know that we’re year-round custom deck builders. That’s right; we build decks in the cold of winter. In fact, Winter is one of the best times of the year to get your elite custom deck built. Spring and Summer get very busy in the construction industry, but in Winter it nearly shuts down. So when you decide to get your deck built in the Winter, we can likely get it done a little faster.

We’ve mastered the art of year-round deck building. We’ve been successfully installing low-maintenance decks in the cold for nearly four decades!

Does Temperature Matter?

Yes, it does. Different materials require different specifications at different temperatures. As certified installers of Trex, TemberTech, Azek, and Deckorators products, we know and understand how to build any time of the year. We live for building decks and take pride in our ability to build any time of the year. If we weren’t building decks, we really wouldn’t know what to do with ourselves.

Winter Deck Building Advantages

Start Fast – In Winter, most construction slows down or stops. Our schedule does become more flexible, and we’re able to get the job done faster because our crews can focus on fewer projects. When you get your custom deck built in the Winter, you can start faster and finish sooner.

Lower Humidity – Low humidity can help a structure settle properly. Omaha gets a little humid in the Summer months as we know.

Ready for Warm Weather – The nice thing about having your deck completed before nice weather comes is it will be ready to use when nice weather does arrive. While other homeowners are watching the construction crew build their decks, you’ll be BBQing and enjoying time with your friends and family as soon as the weather turns nice.

Make Your Deck a Wow Deck

Deck designs can be as simple or complex as the human imagination will allow. Some people prefer a more modest deck, while others want an elite design that stands out and has an abundance of attention-grabbing wow factors built in. Wow decks can be accomplished in a variety of different ways, and you can even create one on a more conservative budget. After years of building custom decks in Omaha we’ve learned a few ways to turn ordinary decks into Wow Decks. Let’s go over some options here.

Simple Wow Factors

If you’re on a tighter budget, some affordable factors can be done to get you closer to a deck with style. When you’re on a budget your focus should be on materials vs. layout. By adjusting a few areas on this TimberTech deck with aluminum rails we were able to make it stand out. A simple flooring pattern adds a unique twist. Flat top rails in order to hold your drinks or plants are easy enough. Beveled front corners of the deck vs. traditional square 90 degrees. Simple can have just as much “wow” factor.

More Elite Wow Factors

If your vision has no budget restrictions you can create a Wow Deck with multiple tiers/levels, dedicated spaces, or exotic staircases. Dramatic, multi-level decks help define spaces into distinct, usable areas. Enjoy your view with built-in elevated seating, or step down into a hot tub and lounge area. Including built-in lighting on your staircase brings it to life in a magical and functional way.

Omaha Custom Deck Builders

These ideas are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to making your deck a Wow Deck. Drop by our showroom, and we can show you person all of the options available that will fit your budget and will work seamlessly with your home.

Planning For A Deck In The Spring Takes Time

A durable great-looking deck takes planning. It’s not something you want to rush into. There are several factors you need to carefully consider. The big two are design and materials. A deck is like an extension to your home. Getting the design exactly how you want it from a functional and aesthetic standpoint is critical. Then there are the materials. Choosing the colors, textures, and actual decking takes time and careful consideration. If you’re not sure about what you want stop by our showroom and we can show you firsthand all of the design options and materials available.

Don’t Be Afraid of Low-Maintenance Decking & Railing

Believe it or not, low-maintenance composite decks have been around since the mid-1990s. When they first hit the market the colors and textures were limited, but like all technology, they’ve evolved. In fact, low-maintenance decking and railing have evolved into a billion-dollar industry. You can now get practically any color or texture you want, and the quality of the decking materials is more elite than anyone ever imagined 30 years ago.

Our company knows pretty much everything there is to know about custom deck building with these materials because we were one of the early adopters. If you come across a custom deck in Omaha made from Trex, TimberTech, or Azek low-maintenance decking and railing there’s a good chance we built it!

Superior Materials (Low Maintenance Decking) = Superior Decks

Don’t let the dinosaur deck builders scare you away from all the benefits of low-maintenance decking & railing. Despite its longevity, many deck builders are reluctant to shift over from wood simply because they don’t understand how Trex, TimberTech or Azek materials work or how to install them properly. Trex, the originator of composite decking material has been around since 1996.

No Fading or Staining – Many composites offer fade and stain warranties so they won’t change color over time. Left alone, the wood turns grey.
No Warping, Cracking, or Splitting – Over time natural wood deteriorates no matter how many coats of stain you apply. Composite decking companies like Trex and Azek boast 25-year to limited-life warranties to back up their promise.
Termite Resistant – You’ll never receive damage to your composite deck from termite pressure, unlike wood decks which are under constant threat from the wood-loving insects.
Mold & Mildew Resistant – Wood rots and breaks down in nature, and when it’s attached to your house as a deck. Composite decking is more immune to mold and mildew attacks which are known to exploit the vulnerabilities of wood decking.
No Splinters – What fun is being on the deck if you keep picking up splinters in your feet? Composite decking is a true splinter-free decking experience.
Longer Boards – Composite decking boards are as long as 20ft which means a more seamless finish with fewer joints.
Low Maintenance – They don’t call it low-maintenance decking for nothing. A simple application of soap and water gets your deck looking brand new in no time.

Nobody builds a custom deck so they can spend lots of time taking care of it. Stop by our showroom and see in person how great the materials we use in our Omaha elite custom decks really are. We offer all the top brands including Trex, TimberTech, and Azek for our low-maintenance decking & railing. You have to see it to believe it. Touching it helps too. See you soon!

5 Big Benefits of LED Deck Lighting

If you’ve ever thought of adding deck lighting to your Papillion custom deck, low-voltage LED lights offer several advantages that are hard to beat. Not only do they offer big savings but the quality and range of the lighting are unmatched. We’ve been building custom decks in Papillion for a long time now, and always recommend LED lighting for our customers. If you’re looking for elite-level deck lighting that doesn’t break the bank, consider the benefits of low-voltage LED deck lighting.

Long Life

One of the biggest benefits of using LED deck lights is the amount of time they last. Some LED lights can last around 100,000 operating hours. Unlike other bulbs, LED lights never really burn out, they will gradually dull over time, so you will never be unexpectedly left in the dark. Nor will you be replacing bulbs frequently.

Energy Efficient

Getting LED lights installed on your deck ends up saving you money in the long run. Because they are so energy efficient you will see a reduction on your utility bill versus using traditional lighting. In addition, they can work on photocells to turn off and on based on the sun, so they’re never on when they shouldn’t be. You don’t have to feel guilty about using them, and you can always have your deck looking great at night if you choose to.

More Durable

The durability of LED deck lights is second to none. They’re made from very resilient components that are designed for outdoor use. They can withstand the elements, standing up to rain, wind, and snow. They’re perfect for taking on everything Papillion weather can dish out.

Hot or Cold Weather Operation

Unlike other light types, LED lights work regardless of temperature allowing you to enjoy your deck year-round. Even the coldest or hottest of days won’t affect their operation, making them ideal for use in climates like Papillion that get big temperature swings and extreme temperature indexes.

Low Voltage

Because LED deck lights are low-voltage bulbs, they can be integrated into any power source easily. You do not need to increase energy capacity or have special wiring done to accommodate their installation.

Nothing quite brings your Papillion deck to life like custom LED lighting. Not only do they look great, but they add a big safety element to your deck steps with the illumination they provide. With all of the advantages upgrading your deck with LED is an easy decision.

Give us a call today and we’d be happy to discuss your options for new custom LED lighting for your Papillion custom deck. (402) 690-1050

We’re Not a Franchise

More than a few times we’ve been mistaken for a franchise. Our logo graphics and exposure around Omaha have led many to think we’re franchised. Although we take it as a compliment, the truth is we’re not a franchise. We’re simply a locally owned and operated family business that puts everything we have into working hard and conveying a professional appearance. We don’t report to corporate, we report to you – our customer. Our name is always on the line. Taking pride in our craft is what has led us to be considered the go-to company for custom decks in Omaha. When you work with a family-owned business you get a different type of service than can be offered by a franchise. Some might call it an elite service.

Chemistry

Family businesses like ours employ several family members who have already developed a long-standing chemistry. Our non-family employees quickly take notice and effectively become part of the family. The workplace tends to be less formal, more hands-on, and more personable. When we’re on a job we’re all on the same page and can effectively communicate with one another and play our individual roles to reach our full potential. We hold each other accountable and encourage each other to get better every day.

Speed & Accuracy of Service

We know that our names and personal reputations are on the line whenever we interact with a customer or accept a job. Because there are no “higher-ups” to run ideas by, we think of and then implement new ideas within a matter of hours. We don’t have to wade through any bureaucracy. It makes us more efficient and helps us to constantly fine-tune our skills and innovate freely.

Cohesive Values

Everyone wants to work with a business they know they can trust. It can be difficult to find a business that resonates with your values across the board. Family-owned businesses have a leg up on franchises when it comes to trust because the names of their brands are directly associated with their family legacies. Family-owned businesses are known for their dedication to values and traditions. Family business owners have the opportunity to teach and pass along their business and personal values to the next generation. Family members take pride in upholding these family values and build them into their day-to-day work and personal activities. The work culture is often a reflection of these family values.

If you’re looking to get your new deck installed by experts who work like a family unit give us a call today. Our name is behind every job we do.
