Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
It depends on your priorities. Wood costs less upfront but needs staining and sealing every 1-2 years. Composite costs more at first but needs almost no maintenance – just soap and water cleaning. Over time, composite saves you money because you’re not paying for yearly staining. If you plan to stay in your home for many years, composite is usually the better value. If you’re selling soon or love the natural wood look, pressure-treated wood works fine.
Most decks take 1 to 3 weeks to complete. A simple ground-level deck might finish in just a few days, while a large multi-level deck with stairs and railings takes longer. Weather can delay the project, and we need time to get permits approved before we start building. During your free consultation, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific deck design.
Pressure-treated lumber is the most popular choice because it resists rot and insects, handles Virginia’s humid summers well, and costs less than other options. Cedar is another good option if you want a natural look without staining, but it costs more. For low maintenance, composite decking is worth considering – it won’t rot, splinter, or need yearly staining like wood does.
Yes, we build decks on sloped yards all the time in Henrico. Sloped yards actually work well for multi-level decks or elevated decks with stairs leading down to the yard. The slope may require taller posts and more foundation work, which affects the cost. We’ll evaluate your yard during the free consultation and show you the best design options for your slope.
