Common Questions About Deck Building

How long does a deck project usually take?

Most deck building projects take about one to three weeks from start to finish. The timeline depends on the size, shape, materials, and any extra railing or design features you want. Before we start, we’ll walk you through the whole project, confirm the details, and give you a clear idea of how long everything will take. We keep things simple so you always know what’s happening.

Do I need a permit for my deck?

In most areas, you’ll need a permit before you build a deck. You don’t have to worry about the paperwork—we’ll handle it for you. Our team understands the local rules, how much ground space is required, and how posts, framing, and railings need to be set up. We make sure everything is built safely and meets the intended standards so you can enjoy your new deck without stress.

What materials do you use?

We offer a variety of materials, including traditional woods, PVC options, and popular composite decking choices from trusted brands. Many homeowners love composite because it’s low-maintenance and holds up well over the life of the structure. Whether you want something classic or modern, we’ll help you choose what works best for your house, budget, and style.

Can you build custom shapes or levels?

Absolutely. We enjoy creating deck designs that fit your space just right. Whether you want a curved design, multi-level decks, unique posts, or special framing, we can help bring your ideas to life. Even if you’ve watched a few videos on YouTube or looked around on websites for ideas, we’ll take what you like and turn it into a finished deck that feels truly yours.

Do you offer maintenance services?

Yes, we can help keep your deck looking great year after year. That includes cleaning, sealing, or making small repairs. If you’ve tried DIY fixes before but want more solid advice, we’re always here. We also help you know what to avoid, what to purchase, and what hardware or fasteners are best for your setup so your deck stays in good shape.

What’s the warranty on your decks?

We offer strong warranties on both the materials and the labor. Before you sign any form, we’ll explain exactly what’s covered and how long the protection lasts. You’ll always know what you can count on, and we’ll be here if anything needs attention later. Our goal is for you to feel confident in the quality and durability of your deck-building project.

Can I add lighting or railings later on?

Definitely. Many people start with a basic deck and continue upgrading over time. You can add lighting, extra railings, or other features whenever you’re ready. We’ll share options, walk you through the steps, and make sure everything blends smoothly with the original build. Think of it like a small series of improvements rather than one huge job.

What makes McMillan’s Crafts different from others?

We’re local builders who truly care about our community. We show up, respect your area, and treat your house like our own.
