Composite or wood — which lasts longer in Utah weather?

Composite. The freeze-thaw cycles are tough on wood, and a quality composite board will outlast cedar 3-to-1 with no annual sealing.

Do I need a permit for a deck?

Yes if it's attached to the house or over 30" off the ground. We handle the permit and inspections.

Custom Decks

Composite or wood, raised or grade-level — clean rail lines, strong framing, and a deck that lasts more than one Utah winter.

About This Service

We build decks that survive the snow load and the summer sun. Trex and TimberTech composite, cedar, or pressure-treated framing — your call. Aluminum balusters, white cap rails, lighting in the post caps, stairs, gates, and seamless transitions to your siding. Permitted, footing-engineered, and built to outlast the warranty on the boards.
