A deck builder designs and constructs decks, including footings, framing, ledger attachment, decking, stairs and railings, and repairs or replaces worn or damaged decks.
Wood costs less upfront and can be refinished, while composite needs less maintenance and resists rot but costs more. Consider climate, maintenance expectations, appearance and budget.
Review completed decks, ask how they attach the deck to the house and flash the ledger, and compare written estimates. Decks commonly need permits and inspections, so ask who handles them.
Cost depends on size, height, material, design complexity, stairs and railings, footings and site conditions, removal of an old deck and permit requirements.
Check setbacks and HOA rules, decide how you will use the deck, and clear the build area. Mark utilities and irrigation, and plan access for materials and equipment.
