Avoid the DIY Deck Building Trap

If you have the time and energy a do-it-yourself project can be very rewarding. Whether it’s changing the brakes on your vehicle instead of taking it to a mechanic or designing and building your own garden, it feels great to do things yourself. The sense of accomplishment is immense, especially when you succeed. We don’t want to knock people who take a do-it-yourself approach, in fact, we encourage it, but not when it comes to building a deck. Building a deck in many ways is like building a miniature house. Maybe because it’s an extension of your house. The skills, tools, and knowledge needed to get the job done correctly, efficiently, and in a cost-effective way takes years of experience. We’ve been building elite custom decks in Omaha for a long time now, and want to emphasize the importance of working with professionals when it comes to deck building in Omaha.

Mastery Takes Time

Your deck is literally an extension of your home. Would you attempt to build your own home? Maybe you would if you had mastered the skills of homebuilding. But would you build your home as a DIY project if you had minimal experience as a builder? Probably not. The same goes for decks. Although a deck may look simple at first glance they are a compilation of master planning, elite carpentry skills, and experience. Decks are not simply boards and nails if they’re any good.

High Tech Materials

When you decide to build a deck yourself, you’re excluding yourself from using the best materials on the market. You’re stuck with low-grade materials like the ones from box stores or pressure-treated decking and railing from the local lumber yard. You can certainly build a deck with these materials, but it’s going to be of lesser quality, require more maintenance, and the life will be short. When you work with a professional deck builder you get the most up-to-date decking materials that are designed to last multiple years and require little to no maintenance.

Design Matters

Designing a functional aesthetically pleasing deck that’s going to last is not easy. It takes skill and know-how that you can only get through multiple years of experience. Knowing the angles and weight distributions and all the geometric complexities that go into deck design is not something you master on the weekend. Even if you could source the best materials possible, being able to design a deck that takes in all the variables necessary to make it work and last is nearly impossible for the average DIY project.

Don’t let your next deck project last the entire summer and end up a disappointment. Work with Omaha’s elite master deck builders and get the deck you want in a time and cost-efficient manner. And rest assured knowing it’s going to last years with minimal maintenance. Call us today and let’s talk about your vision for the deck you’ve been dreaming about. (402) 690-1050

Low Maintenance Decking Needs No Winter Preparations

Deck season in Omaha will soon be coming to an end. And while Omaha homeowners are likely making winter preparations for sprinkler systems, furnaces, vehicles, etc., Decks, Decks, and More Decks’ customers with low-maintenance custom decks are doing zero preparation or worrying about their decking in preparation for the winter months.

Traditionally, cedar decks suffer from wear and tear during every season. From extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and moisture, cedar decks take a significant amount of care during their lifetime. A low-maintenance deck made of composite decking has many advantages. Composite decking is mold-resistant and not susceptible to mildew or other toxic growth in winter months. Low-maintenance decking is also not vulnerable to temperature changes, blowing wind, or freezing and does not warp, split, or crack under extreme conditions.

Our low-maintenance custom decks provide Omaha homeowners with all the enjoyment of a beautiful outdoor entertainment space without the hassle of preparing for the winter months.

High Visibility Railings For Increased Safety And Aesthetics

High-visibility railings are an excellent choice for homeowners who want safety and aesthetics. Custom Built Omaha Deck with Glass Balusters Custom decks are for enjoyment, and glass balusters or panels help many homeowners enjoy their deck and outdoor space even more.

Whether glass balusters or panels, high-visibility railings are excellent for the safety of pets and children. With minimal space between balusters, it’s less likely little hands will be stuck. With clear railings, added visibility allows you to watch kids and pets playing in the yard while kicking back in your lounge chair.

Decks with glass railings are also low maintenance and do not need to be stained, treated, painted, or finished to maintain their beauty and durability. This is an important benefit because decks are continuously exposed to the sun, wind, and water; and glass will not weather. Made of tempered glass, like a car windshield, it’s durable with little need for upkeep.

Custom Arbors for Shade and Beauty

Pergola and arbor are often confused to be the same type of structure. And while they are both outdoor structures built with posts that support an open roof of beams or lattice – they are, in fact, different. Our custom deck Omaha team designs and builds both.

We’ve already discussed pergolas in a previous post, but an arbor is considered a freestanding structure that serves as an entrance to a part of a yard or garden, often with plants climbing up and overhead. Arbors include two or four posts with a simple slatted roof. The sides of an arbor can be open or covered with lattice or trellis work for a more enclosed effect, and to help vines better attach.

Arbors, particularly in small or narrow gardens, add a structural element, frame an opening or entranceway, provide privacy to the homeowner, and act as a vertical growing element. Using an arbor as an entry provides privacy and frames the entryway. If the space is narrow and long, using an arbor can help to break up the space into smaller areas or rooms for different uses.

The purpose of an arbor will define its size, placement, and material. Our Omaha deck builders are experts in many outdoor structures – including pergolas. Give us a call to discuss how we can enhance the beauty and function of a backyard with a custom pergola.
