1. Experience & Expertise

Hiring a deck contractor to build your new deck, patio cover or to resurface an existing deck can take the headache out of the process for you. Hiring experienced deck builders saves you time and money when you run into the unexpected such as:

Not knowing building codes

Knowing when to get a permit

Improper footing depth

Improper beam placement

Irregular joist spacing

Using the wrong materials for framing

Using the wrong fasteners

Not installing a handrail

Improper weatherproofing

Accidents happen, but improperly building a deck can result in collapse or serious injury. Using the wrong framing materials can drastically reduce the life of your investment, especially in Idaho when the boards are hit with moisture during the winter. Deck builders will use the proper materials and weather proofing techniques to protect your investment. Elevated Deck & Fence has a top-to-bottom warranty and Trex's decking board warranties add an extra layer of protection to your build.

2. Licenses & Permits

Permitting requirements can vary depending on the city or county. If it is new construction, repair, or modifications to an existing structure, the process will differ depending on the build type.

6. Save Time vs DIY

Building a deck is a complicated process that requires a lot of planning and steps to properly execute. There is nothing worse than taking on a big project and being unable to finish it, leaving you with an unfinished deck and possibly dangerous construction site. This puts you under pressure to get the job done and you're running out of time, energy, and patience. With time and money now invested in the project, you hate to see all of it go to waste.

Avoid the stress from the beginning by hiring a deck builder to take care of it all. We will give you a timeline for your project during the initial orientation of your build so you know exactly what to expect. When determining the pros and cons of hiring a builder consider the amount of time you would need to complete the work yourself. Hiring a contractor takes all the guesswork out of the project so you don't have to stress.

7. Great Warranties

Depending on the build grade you choose, your deck build may have a warranty of 50 years! Yup, 50 YEARS. This is a top-to-bottom warranty in addition to the warranty on your decking boards, which can vary depending on type, but most have a 25 year warranty minimum. As a Trex Pro deck builder, we complete the warranty for your Trex decking boards. Because Elevated Deck & Fence is a Trex Pro deck builder even if we sell the business, your boards will be protected under Trex's warranty and they can help you find a local builder to repair or replace any boards.
