Custom Decks FAQs

What are the benefits of installing a custom deck?

Custom decks will enhance your outdoor living space, increase your property value, and provide a versatile area for relaxation and entertainment. They can be customized to fit your specific preferences and functional requirements.

Composite decking is durable, is low-maintenance, and is resistant to rot, mold, and insects. It’s available in several colors and textures. It can be more expensive upfront than natural wood.

Initially, composite decking can be more expensive than wood decking. However, considering the lower maintenance costs and longer lifespan, composite deck materials can be more cost-effective in the long run because you will not pay as much for routine upkeep and maintenance.

Regularly inspect your deck for signs of wear and tear. This includes loose boards, wobbly railings, or rusted fasteners. Ensure that it is structurally sound, particularly if it’s an elevated structure. It’s advisable to have a professional inspect your deck periodically, especially if it’s older or showing signs of wear.

Building a Deck in Winter FAQs

Why should I consider building a deck in winter?

Building a deck in winter offers several advantages: faster timelines, increased contractor availability, and often lower prices on materials and labor. With fewer projects happening, builders can focus more on your deck, ensuring high-quality results and efficient progress.

Winter conditions can enhance certain aspects of deck construction. The colder, dry air helps prevent wood warping and creates ideal conditions for staining, resulting in a durable, smooth finish. Skilled contractors, like the deck builders at Majestic Outdoors, are well-equipped to handle winter construction, ensuring quality craftsmanship and long-lasting results.

Many contractors and suppliers offer reduced rates during the winter off-season, which means potential savings on both labor and materials.

Winter construction typically has less impact on your landscaping. Frozen ground and dormant plants reduce the risk of damage from heavy equipment and construction activity.

By starting your deck project in winter, you can ensure it’s ready by spring. Fewer projects mean contractors can work without delays, and permit approvals are usually faster due to fewer applications. This means you’ll have a completed deck for immediate use as soon as the warmer weather arrives, avoiding the peak-season rush.

Outdoor Living Features FAQs

What are the essentials for an outdoor kitchen?

The essentials for outdoor kitchens typically include a grill or cooking element, countertop space for food preparation, storage areas, and possibly a sink or refrigerator. The specific elements depend on your cooking needs and space availability.

StruXure pergolas offer adjustable louvers for versatile sun and rain protection, enhancing outdoor living spaces with both functionality and style. They are customizable and can include modern amenities like built-in lighting and Wi-Fi.

StruXure pergolas incorporate innovative, adjustable louver technology allowing for more control over environmental conditions like sunlight and rain, compared to traditional pergolas and gazebos which have fixed roofs.

Popular features include built-in seating, fire pits, outdoor kitchens or BBQ areas, pergolas, deck railing, and lighting for ambiance and safety.

Think about how you plan to use the space (entertaining, relaxing, dining), the size and layout of your yard or deck, your budget, and the maintenance required for each outdoor feature. It’s also important to consider the style of your home to ensure a cohesive look.

Common materials include concrete, pavers, stone, brick, and tiles. The best choice depends on your budget, climate, aesthetic preferences, and maintenance willingness.

Maintenance depends on the material. Paver and stone patios may require weed control and occasional re-sanding of joints, while concrete patios might need sealing and regular cleaning to prevent stains.
