How to choose deck builders
- 1
Ask who pulls the permit
Most decks need a building permit and inspections. Your contractor should handle them.
- 2
Compare wood and composite
Pressure-treated wood costs less up front. Composite costs more but needs less upkeep. Ask for both prices.
- 3
Get the footings in writing
Footing depth and spacing decide how long a deck lasts. Ask what they'll use and how deep.
- 4
Check past work
Ask for photos and an address of a deck they built a few years ago, so you can see how it held up.
FAQ
Questions about deck builders
How long does it take to build a deck?
Many simple decks take a few days to two weeks once materials arrive. Permits and weather can add time.
Do I need a permit for a deck?
Usually, especially for decks attached to the house or raised off the ground. Rules vary by city.
Which lasts longer, wood or composite?
Composite generally lasts longer with less upkeep. Wood needs regular sealing or staining.
Can an old deck be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, if the frame and footings are sound. Rotted framing usually means replacement.
Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?
No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
