Our Deck Design and Consultation Services

Services

Expert planning and design guidance to bring your ideal outdoor space to life.

Consultation and Goal Setting

Our deck design and consultation process starts with a focused meeting about your space, goals, and budget. Every design decision in our deck consultation services flows from this conversation.

3D Modeling and Layout Planning

We produce detailed 3D deck models so you can review every angle and material before work begins. Revisions are made until the layout reflects exactly what you want.

Foundation and Structural Planning

We plan your foundation around helical piers or traditional concrete footings based on site conditions. Framing uses pressure treated LVL, KDAT lumber, and products from Fortress Building Products and TimberTech.

Material and Style Selection

Our deck design services cover composite and PVC options from Trex, TimberTech, Deckorators, MoistureShield, and YellaWood. We walk you through every surface, railing, and finish option to match your goals.

Underdeck Systems

Panel-based, gutter-and-channel, snap-in, and custom fabricated options are incorporated into the design process. Finished spaces can serve as an outdoor living room, storage area, entertainment hub, or shingle-roofed enclosure.

Styles of Decks

Platform, Raised, and Freestanding Decks

Platform decks suit flat lots, raised decks handle sloped sites, and freestanding decks offer flexible independent placement. Skirting options include lattice skirting, vinyl skirting, composite deck skirting, and horizontal or vertical boards.

Multi-Level Decks

Multi-level decks zone outdoor space into areas for dining, lounging, and gathering. Each level carries its own railing profile and surface layout.

Curved Decks and Privacy Screens

Curved decks add organic flow and architectural distinction to any property. Privacy screens use solid wood panels, faux stone panels, or stone and brick skirting.

Cantilevered and Rooftop Decks

Cantilevered decks extend beyond their support without visible posts. Rooftop decks maximize unused overhead space for elevated outdoor living.

Screened Porch and Covered Deck

Screened porches and covered decks block insects, rain, and direct sun. Both integrate cleanly with your home's existing architecture.

Pool and Spa Decks

Pool and spa decks prioritize drainage, slip resistance, and moisture-tolerant materials. Every detail is planned to keep the space safe and visually cohesive.

A deck design consultation session covers your goals, property layout, budget, and material preferences. Our team uses this to build a design specific to your property.

How Can Design Services Improve Deck Functionality?

Deck design services allow every decision to be planned before construction begins, reducing costly mid-build changes. A thorough plan accounts for traffic flow, sun exposure, and how each zone will be used.

What Tools Are Used During Deck Planning?

Our deck consultation services use 3D modeling software to produce detailed visual renderings of your layout and materials. These give you a realistic preview before any work begins.

Why Is Consultation Important Before Construction Begins?
