The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

A good deck starts below the surface. Footings below the frost line, a flashed ledger, correctly sized joists and quality fasteners are what separate a deck that lasts decades from one that fails. Then come the boards, rails and details you see.

We design the deck with you, handle the permit, build from the ground up and finish with stairs, lighting and railings. Our Deck Planner gives a first look at size, framing and a planning range.

Good questions

Deck Building: common questions

How much does a deck cost?

Commonly published ranges run roughly from the mid twenties to over sixty dollars per square foot, depending on materials, height and features. Our Deck Planner shows a planning range.

Do I need a permit for a deck?

Most decks that are attached to the house or above a certain height need a permit, and codes apply to footings, ledgers and railings. We handle the paperwork.
