Wood Deck Installation

The Appeal of Wood Decks

Wood decks have been the standard for outdoor living spaces for good reason. Real wood offers natural beauty that changes and develops character over time. The grain patterns, warm tones, and organic texture of wood create an inviting atmosphere that synthetic materials simply cannot replicate.

Wood is also versatile. It can be stained in countless colors, painted to match your home, or left to weather naturally to a silvery gray patina. Wood decks work with any architectural style, from traditional craftsman homes to modern designs.

Wood Species We Install

We work with the best wood species for deck construction. Pressure-treated pine is the most economical option. It is treated to resist rot and insects, making it durable and long-lasting when properly maintained. Pressure-treated wood accepts stain well and can be finished in any color you desire.

Cedar is a premium choice known for its natural beauty and rot resistance. It has a tight grain and warm tone that many homeowners love. Cedar contains natural oils that resist decay, though it still benefits from regular maintenance.

Redwood is the premium option. It offers exceptional beauty with rich color variations and straight grain. Redwood naturally resists rot, decay, and insect damage better than any other softwood. While it costs more upfront, many homeowners find the beauty and longevity worth the investment.

Custom Design and Construction

Every wood deck we build is custom-designed for your property and needs. We start by understanding how you plan to use your deck, your aesthetic preferences, and your budget. Then we create a design that maximizes your outdoor space while complementing your home.

Our construction process follows proven techniques and current building codes. We use proper flashing and ledger board installation to protect your home from water damage. We space joists correctly to prevent bounce. We select quality fasteners that will not rust or corrode. The result is a deck that looks beautiful and stands the test of time.

Built-In Features and Accents

Wood decks can incorporate built-in features that enhance functionality and beauty. Built-in benches provide seating without cluttering your deck. Planters add greenery and define spaces. Multi-level designs create visual interest and separate activity zones. Decorative railings and post caps add character and personality.

Maintenance and Longevity

Wood decks require regular maintenance to protect them from the elements and keep them looking their best. This includes annual cleaning, periodic staining or sealing, and checking for loose fasteners or damaged boards. With proper care, a quality wood deck can last 15 to 25 years or more.

We provide maintenance guidance with every deck we build. We can also handle your ongoing maintenance needs, including cleaning, staining, and repairs. Our goal is to help you protect your investment and enjoy your deck for decades.
