Every job below is one we do ourselves across Henderson.
We dig and pour the footings, frame the substructure, and install the decking and rail, whether that's a low platform deck or a raised deck with stairs. Beam and joist sizing is based on the span and the load, not a guess, so the deck doesn't bounce when three people are standing on the same board.
We'll draw the layout around how your yard actually slopes and where the sun hits in July, not just a rectangle off the back door. That includes working out stair placement, rail style, and whether a multi-level deck makes more sense than one flat plane.
Soft boards, a rail that flexes, or a corner that's started to sag usually point to a problem in the framing underneath, not just the visible board. We open up the deck, find the failed joist or rotten ledger, and fix the structure before we touch anything cosmetic.
Wood decking left bare in this climate checks and grays out in a season or two. We pressure wash, let the boards dry fully, then apply a stain and sealer rated for high UV, which matters more here than the brand name on the can.
We install composite decking from Trex, TimberTech, and similar lines, using hidden fastener systems so there's no visible screw head to catch bare feet. Composite doesn't need restaining, but it still needs proper joist spacing underneath or it'll feel spongy underfoot.
Rail height and baluster spacing are set by code, not preference, and we build to that spec so the deck passes inspection the first time. Options range from wood pickets to cable rail to glass panel, depending on what you want to see through.
If the framing underneath is still sound, we can pull off tired old decking and replace it with new wood or composite boards without rebuilding the whole structure. This is usually a faster, cheaper fix than tearing out a deck that's structurally fine.
Rotten joists, a sistered beam that was never done right, or a ledger board pulling away from the house, this is the structural work most homeowners never see until something gives. We replace what's failed and add joist tape and proper flashing so it doesn't happen again.
Some decks are past the point of patching, especially old ones built without joist hangers or proper footings. We tear it out, haul it off, and start over with a structure built to current code.
A lot of Henderson decks get built and then sit unused from June through September because there's no shade. We add a pergola or shade structure sized to the deck, sometimes with a louvered roof that cuts the surface temperature enough to actually use the space midday.
Four steps, and no surprises in any of them.
You tell us what you want doing, we look at what is actually there, and we ask the awkward questions early.
In writing, itemised, free. If something might add cost later we flag it now rather than at the end.
Same crew throughout. We cover your floors, keep the dust down and tidy up before we leave each day.
You point out anything you are not happy with and we fix it before the invoice, not after.
