The Most Helpful Advice from Custom Deck Builders

Yearning for a backyard escape but overwhelmed by the prospect of building a deck? Experienced and trusted Centennial deck contractors have seen it all, from balcony blunders to backyard paradises. Here is a peek into their treasure trove of knowledge, ensuring your deck-building journey is smooth sailing. 

ü  Do not dive headfirst into construction! Consider how you will use your deck – entertaining, relaxing, or stargazing. A well-defined purpose will guide the design and ensure your deck perfectly suits your lifestyle. 

ü  Not all decks are created equal! Check with your local municipality to see if permits are required for your project. Skipping this step can lead to costly delays and fines, damaging your deck dreams. 

ü  The type of decking material you choose can make or break your project. Discuss the pros and cons of wood, composite, or alternative materials with your builder. Consider factors like maintenance requirements, durability and aesthetics. 

ü  Envision how your needs might evolve. Will you eventually want an awning or screening? Leaving extra space or incorporating design elements for future additions can save you time and money. 

ü  The unexpected can happen during construction. Maintain open communication with your builder and be flexible if unforeseen challenges arise. A collaborative approach ensures a smooth project and a deck that meets your expectations.
