Custom Deck Design: How We Bring Your Deck Ideas to Life
Our custom deck design plans include 3-D renderings and modeling of your new deck. You’ll be able to see yourself enjoying your virtual deck space before we’ve laid a single decking board! Every deck design project is different because there are so many variables involved in the design process. We’ll walk you through these important considerations to get us started:
1. Deck Use
How do you plan to use your deck? If you’d like to incorporate a grill and use your deck for regular family meals, be sure to leave enough space to walk comfortably around a table and chairs. Do you like to entertain? You might consider handrails with a wide, flat cap for guests to rest their drinks on. Does your dream deck include a fire pit? We will check the building codes in your city. We take the time to create and prioritize a list of deck design ideas based on your family’s exact needs.
2. Deck Location
Whether you’re starting from scratch or improving on an existing deck, property size and house position influence our deck design plans. Taking a few minutes to stake out a very general deck footprint will help us pinpoint areas where you might want to incorporate shade or privacy features into your deck design.
3. Deck Construction Budget
If you think custom deck design is too expensive, let us show you how creative we can be with your budget. Our experienced experts have designed custom decks for all budgets, no matter how big or small. Our free deck pricing quote will include everything from developing the deck design plans to complete deck construction.
4. Deck Materials
Whether you prefer wood deck designs with pressure-treated lumber, PVC, Ipe, cedar, Cumaru, or redwood, or deck designs using low-maintenance composite decking like Trex or TimberTech, we’ve designed and built custom decks using all of the options available. We’re a certified Trex deck designer and installer, in addition to earning certifications from AZEK and TimberTech. With over a decade of experience, we know the advantages and disadvantages of each intimately. We’ll work with you to explain the options and help you choose the best deck materials for the look you want, as well as your budget and location.
Not sure about a color? Wonder how composite really feels? We carry a full selection of deck materials and samples in our showroom to help you visualize how each would look, feel, and wear at your own home in your dream deck.
Deck Construction: Quality Craftsmanship Without the Hassle
Our design expertise doesn’t end once you’ve signed off on the deck designs. From the moment we first attach a ledger board to your home to yard cleanup and final inspections, our deck construction process is always focused on three things:
- Ease: Making the deck building experience easy and hassle free for you.
- Value: Making sure your deck investment pays dividends for many years to come.
- Timeliness: Moving the project along in a timely manner so you can start the grill sooner.
Our deck project managers lead this process and use our proven systems of:- Deck ledger attachment.
- Footer details.
- Deck framing preparation.
- Decking installation.
- Stair construction details.
