ASK TED
How much does a new deck cost?
Ted says:
It all comes down to size, materials, and extras. A basic pressure-treated wood deck usually costs less per square foot, while composite decking (like Trex or TimberTech) can run a little more expensive per square foot.
We’ll give you a clear quote upfront, walk through material options, and make sure the deck fits your space—and your budget.
What's better - wood or composite decking?
Ted says:
Great question. It depends on how much maintenance you want to do—and how long you plan to stay in your home.
- Wood (like pressure-treated pine): Less expensive upfront, but needs staining/sealing every couple of years.
- Composite: More costly up front, but low maintenance, resists fading and warping, and lasts 25–30+ years.
If you want the “build it and forget it” route—go composite. If you don’t mind a little upkeep and want to save some cash, wood’s a solid choice.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Ted says:
Most standard decks take about 1 to 2 weeks, depending on size, complexity, and weather. Here’s how it usually breaks down:
- Permits & approvals: 1–2 weeks (we handle this)
- Demo (if needed): 1–2 days
- Framing & decking: 3–5 days
- Railings, stairs, finishing touches: 2–4 days
Want built-in seating, lighting, pergolas, or multiple levels? That’ll add time—but we’ll give you a clear schedule before we start.
What kind of maintenance does a deck need?
Ted says:
Here’s the quick breakdown:
- Wood decks: Clean annually, re-stain or seal every 2–3 years to protect against rot, sun, and moisture.
- Composite decks: Hose it off a few times a year and maybe a gentle scrub with soapy water—no staining, sealing, or splinters.
We’ll walk you through maintenance tips for whatever material you choose so your deck stays looking sharp for years to come.
Can I add lighting, pergolas, or other built-in features?
Ted says:
Absolutely. We can install:
- Post cap lights
- Step and under-rail lighting
- Pergolas or shade covers
- Built-in benches or planter boxes
- Privacy walls or wind screens
- And more!
We’ll help design the space to fit your lifestyle—whether that’s quiet mornings with coffee or full-on backyard BBQs.
