Deck Construction Questions
How much does a deck cost?
Deck costs vary widely based on size, materials, and features. A basic 12x16 pressure-treated deck might start around $5,000-$8,000, while a larger composite deck with multiple levels and premium railings could be $15,000-$30,000+. We provide detailed estimates during consultation.
Composite or wood—which is better?
It depends on your priorities. Composite requires almost no maintenance and lasts longer, but costs more upfront. Wood costs less initially but requires annual staining/sealing. We'll help you weigh the options based on your budget and maintenance preferences.
How long does a deck last?
With proper maintenance, pressure-treated decks last 15-20 years, cedar 20-30 years, and composite 25-30+ years. Regular cleaning and sealing (for wood) extends lifespan significantly. Quality construction and proper drainage are key to longevity.
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
Most decks over 30 inches high or attached to a home require building permits in Maine. We handle all permit applications and ensure your deck meets local building codes and safety requirements.
How long does deck construction take?
Most decks are completed in 1-3 weeks depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect timelines, especially during foundation work. We provide realistic schedules and communicate any delays promptly.
Can you build a deck on uneven ground?
Yes! We regularly build decks on sloped or uneven yards. We use appropriate foundation techniques, adjustable posts, and proper framing to create level, stable decks on challenging terrain.
