Deck Building and Repair

Both are good, and it comes down to budget and upkeep. Treated lumber costs less up front but wants staining or sealing every couple of years, and it can crack or twist over time. Composite costs more up front, needs little more than a wash, and will not splinter, but it gets hot in direct sun. Either way the frame underneath is treated lumber. If you want to set it and forget it, go composite. If budget comes first, treated makes a solid deck. Worth asking about our overstock decking as well, because when we have a lot in, the material cost drops hard.

We do, and it is in your quote. Decks in Sioux Falls need a permit, and the plans have to be reviewed before work starts, so we build that into the schedule. Outside Sioux Falls we check the local rules for your town before we start rather than assuming they match.

Most are a few days to a week on site, depending on size, height, stairs and weather. Add time up front for the permit and for materials to land. You get a timeline in writing with the quote.

Yes, as long as what is underneath is sound. We look at the posts, joists and ledger first. If something is rotted or unsafe we tell you before we add anything to it, and we tell you if the work needs a permit of its own.
