Colorado Springs Deck Builder

Decks create outdoor entertaining spaces, transforming backyards to have separate areas that better house outdoor furniture, barbecues, fire pits, and more. When it comes to building a deck from the ground up, there’s much to think about, and that’s just one of the reasons involving a professional deck builder can be such an asset. At Mr. Handyman of Colorado Springs, our focus is not only on building you a quality deck but also ensuring it’s one that meets your needs and desires. A beautiful deck is nothing if it isn’t built to last, and with our guaranteed workmanship, the longevity of your deck is something you can take to the bank.

What’s exactly involved in the deck building process? It’s split up into sections that include an initial inspection, planning and design, construction, finishing, and then a final inspection. We’re nothing if we’re not thorough, and when your deck job is completed, you can feel total peace of mind. Read on to discover more about each step in the process.

Initial Inspection

This is, perhaps, the most important part of the deck installation process. During your initial inspection, we’ll need to find out where the buried utility lines are on your property and if there are any additional obstructions that could cause complications in the construction process. We’ll inspect the area you would like to build on and determine if it is indeed suitable for the type of deck you are picturing.

One of the many great things about decks is that there are so many different types. Not all of them require posts dug deep into the ground, and as long as there are no obvious obstructions, we can also build a floating deck that sits on top of planks or concrete blocks on your grass or soil. Regardless of what type of deck you are installing, we will need to inspect the soil conditions to ensure they can support this large structure. Failure to do so may mean your deck will sink over time. This first inspection appointment will give us the information we need to start the next step in the process.

Planning & Design

Using the information we have collected during your inspection, we will sit down with you to plan your dream deck. Certain obstructions may mean that your deck must be a certain shape or size, but our deck designers will get creative to make sure you are happy before we start any construction. There is much to consider when designing a deck, including a wide range of deck materials, styles, finishes, and additional elements. From natural wood to composite materials, your final deck design will be reflective of your personal preferences for style, as well as your family’s needs. Consider additional features to add on cool shade options, such as deck covers or pergolas, as well as concepts such as outdoor kitchens and fire pits.

Construction

Before construction can begin, if you already have a deck, we’ll need to remove it. With a blank slate, we’ll then dig the necessary holes for the deck posts before installing them and setting them in concrete footings. Decks come in all shapes and sizes, and the construction of yours may involve building multiple tiers. After the deck planks have been laid and secured, our custom deck builders install the stairs and railings, secure them in place, and just like that, the building process is complete!

Finishing

Depending on the type of decking material you choose, you may have opted to either stain or paint your planks. Composite decks do not need to be stained or painted since they come in a wide variety of colors, and the material is moisture-repellent. Wood decks, on the other hand, require staining, and you’ll choose from water-based, oil-based, or hybrid stain. Alternatively, you could also choose to paint your wood deck any color you wish.

Final Inspection & Cleanup

We want to ensure that your new deck meets your discerning needs before we leave your property. We also take care to remove all of the mess we made during the construction process so that you are free to use your deck without worrying about cleanup. If you have any questions about deck maintenance, this is the time to ask. Proper deck maintenance will extend the life of the structure, and this involves cleaning and addressing issues as soon as they occur. Our qualified team also takes care of deck repair, pressure washing, and wood rot, and remember, calling us for an annual inspection can help resolve small issues before they turn into larger ones.
