Our Wood Deck Installation Process
Building a quality wood deck requires skill, experience, and attention to detail. We start every project with careful planning and site preparation. Our team will assess your yard, discuss your vision, and design a deck layout that maximizes your outdoor space and complements your home.
Once we have a design you love, we obtain all necessary permits and schedule the construction. We begin by building a solid foundation with properly placed footings and support posts. Then we frame the deck structure, ensuring everything is level, square, and securely fastened. Finally, we install the decking boards with precise spacing and alignment. We can also add custom railings, stairs, and safety features to complete your project.
Quality Construction That Lasts
The key to a long-lasting wood deck is quality construction. We follow best practices and building codes to ensure your deck is safe and durable. This includes proper joist spacing, adequate ventilation, appropriate fasteners, and correct flashing details. We also pay attention to grain orientation when installing deck boards to minimize warping and cupping.
After installation, we recommend protecting your new wood deck with a quality stain or sealant. This helps prevent moisture damage, UV degradation, and mold growth. Check out our deck staining and sealing services to keep your wood deck looking beautiful and performing well for years.
Caring for Your Wood Deck
Wood decks require regular maintenance to stay in top condition. This includes cleaning the surface, checking for loose boards or nails, and reapplying stain or sealant every few years. With proper care, a wood deck can last 20 to 30 years or more. The maintenance might seem like extra work, but many homeowners find it rewarding to care for a natural wood deck that develops character and patina over time.
