A deck builder is someone responsible and specialized in building decks for the exterior of houses. This person who has the right knowledge, will talk to their customers to ensure that all their needs and wishes will be on the plans for the deck.
A deck contractor will go after all the lumber and materials necessary to build the new project, using the right tools and measuring everything perfectly.
There are two types of jobs a deck builder can do: a deck installation and a deck replacement. Respectively, one is for customers that do not have a deck installed and the other is when the homeowner has a deck but not in a good condition.
A deck installation is focused on clients that do not have a deck in their backyard and they want to change that, whether because they want to improve their home value, or because they want an extra space to be together.
When a deck contractor will install a new deck, his first step is to make all the designs and sketches in agreement with his customer. After that, he goes after all the materials and tools to go to the client’s house to start making the footings.
A deck replacement is good because you can have almost a brand-new deck spending less, because the structure will be intact! However, this is possible only if you pay attention to potential problems and your deck lifetime.
If a house already has a deck installed, even though it can last many years, depending on the quality of the materials used, the weather a house is exposed to and the maintenance of the deck, it will not last forever.
As the time passes the climate can affect the color and the quality of your deck or maybe some decking boards might loosen, or railings might not be as secure as they were at the beginning. Considering that, it is advisable to call a professional, because they will inspect the whole deck and tell you what problems are really affecting it.
Before choosing colors and textures, you have to choose between composite deck and wood deck, in other words, the materials that are going to be on your deck surface and its railings.
Composite materials are made of wood fibers encased in plastic. This material is more expensive than wood, but it is worth paying considering that its durability is bigger and requires less maintenance.
Composites might not look so natural as wood decking, but it comes in a great variety of colors, in addition to the advantage of not requiring a paint because it doesn’t stain or fade.
As the technology is improving by the time, this material has a reduction of its heat absorption, being easier to work with even on hot days.
Although a deck made of wood is still very common among the homeowners, its durability is not longer than composite decks.
If a wooden deck receives regular applications of stains, sealers, and paints, it repels moisture successfully and it can be against warping, cracking and rotting.
As the time passes, all boards made of wood will require painting, staining and sealing, due to its exposure to the weather and insects.
Chilling outside on your deck is what everyone wants, just enjoying with the family and friends, relaxing or eating a BBQ. However, before thinking about that, it is necessary to build it.
When choosing a deck builder, we advise you to hire someone near to your house, someone that will be easy to reach if any problems show up.
A deck builder from the region knows his competitors, so all prices will be similar among them and their knowledge and experiences might be more or less the same. And they know the weather that affects the region, preventing any potential problems due to the climate.
The price of a contractor close to you will be cheaper than someone far from you, because its price is considered the cost of traveling to the region.
In addition to all that, everybody wants quick help when there is any problem, so the closer a deck builder is to you, the faster is the solution of your problems, avoiding headaches.
