Porch & Deck Building
Patios, Porches, and Decks are some of the best features of a house, but they are ineffective in the rain or when it's too hot if they aren't protected. When winter comes, not even a covered porch and patio that is not effectively protected can perform its job as well as it might. We have low-cost options for transforming your patio, porch, and deck into a multipurpose room where you can host guests, set up a home gym, or get some work done as a sunny study. Different parts and levels of a deck's structure serve different purposes. Lumber and fasteners are the pillars of deck construction, just as they are in residential construction. It's important to protect your deck from the elements. Damage on many decks is accelerated by sloppiness in construction or poor design. If properly cared for, a deck that has been carefully planned and built may last for decades. Our deck and porch construction services are essential if you are looking for exceptional durability.
How do you choose between a deck, patio, and porch?
When planning additions to an outdoor area, it's vital to think about things like cost, where the addition will go in relation to the lot and the current grade, and how the space will be used. Grilling out in the summer on a deck or patio or warming up by the fire in the winter, are two common uses for outdoor living spaces, but covered or screened porches may serve as an additional room in your home. If you want your porch roof to seem like it belongs with your home, you'll have to consider factors like the architectural style of your home. On a level lot, it's easy to see a deck or porch leading straight off the kitchen or family room, but on a sloping lot, you'll need to give some extra attention to where you put the deck or porch and how you'll get guests up and down to the yard.
What is the average time required to construct a patio, deck, or porch?
It will take more time to create a set of drawings to submit for permit review and bidding if the project includes a raised patio or covered porch. This summer, a deck or patio is your best chance for enjoying the outdoors. Extensive planning isn't necessary for any of them. Patios and decks need a few weeks to complete. It might take anywhere from four weeks up to six weeks to finish a porch the way you want it to.
Required Maintenance
Staining a wood deck every two to three years is recommended to prevent the wood from decaying and making the deck unsafe to walk on. Composite decking and PVC trim may cost more upfront, but they will save you time and energy in the long run. Since patios often don't employ high-maintenance materials like wood, paint, or roofing, they need the least upkeep. Very little maintenance is required to ensure that flagstone will survive for decades. The two most common maintenance needs are to keep an eye on our repointing joints and remove tree sap.
Wood decks need regular maintenance to prevent deterioration from the sun's UV rays. Composite decking, a modern alternative to pressure-treated wood, may be more expensive upfront, but it needs much less maintenance.
