What Affects The Cost?
A lot goes into pricing your new deck. It depends on the choices you make and how you want it built.

Common Questions About Decks in Decatur
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most decks take about 1 to 2 weeks to build once we get started. That timeline depends on the size, shape, and type of deck you want, like an upper deck, lower deck, or even a multi-tier platform. When we visit your space, we’ll give you a more exact idea. Our team shows up prepared and ready to knock it out.
Do I need a permit in Decatur to build a deck?
Yes, you’ll need a permit, but you don’t have to worry about that. Our company handles the permits, paperwork, and city codes for every deck we build in Decatur. Whether your dream deck is pressure treated wood or composite decking, we’ve got the legal side covered so you can just relax and wait to enjoy the finished platform.
What kind of materials can I choose from?
You can choose from pressure-treated wood, composite decking, or premium hardwoods. Composite is a popular mixture of recycled plastic and wood fibers. It’s low-maintenance and durable, great for a long-lasting surface. Wood looks beautiful and feels more natural, especially if you plan on staining or painting it to match your house. We'll talk you through each option and show you examples from our past projects.
Can I add built-in benches or lights?
Absolutely. We can build in seating, lights, railings, planters, and more. Some people even decorate with things like string lights or outdoor rugs. Whether you want a cozy corner to clothe your space in comfort or a flat surface to entertain, your deck should fit how you live. We’ll help make sure it functions just how you need.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes, we do. Once we talk and take a look at your space, we’ll give you a clear, no-pressure quote. The cost depends on your choices, but we’ll break it all down so there are no surprises. Whether you're going for a top deck hangout spot or a B deck-style platform extending off your back door, we’ll be upfront about every line item.
How long will my deck last?
With proper installation, good materials, and some basic care, your deck can last 15 to 25 years or more. Composite decking lasts longer without much upkeep, while pressure-treated wood can also go the distance with occasional sealing or staining. Either way, your deck will be built to wear well through Decatur’s weather, rain, shine, and even the occasional clouds.
Can you build around a pool or uneven yard?
Yes, we sure can. Whether your yard is flat, sloped, or something in between, we’ve got the skills to handle it. We can design platforms, steps, or custom tiers so the deck sits right. Even if your deck needs to be situated around a pool, a tree, or on tricky ground, we’ll find a solution that works and looks good.
Will I need to be home during the build?
Nope, you don’t have to be there. But we love keeping you in the loop. Some folks like to walk the job site, chat with the crew, or talk about the next steps, while others just want it done while they’re at work. Either way, we’ll keep you updated from the first post set to the last board installed.
