How long does it take to build a custom deck?

Most residential decks are completed in 1-2 weeks depending on size, elevation, and permitting. We provide a firm timeline during your free consultation.

Wood decking costs less upfront but requires staining and sealing every 1-2 years. Composite decking costs more initially but needs virtually no maintenance and lasts 25+ years.
