Custom Deck Construction
The Value of a Quality Deck for Your Home
The truth about deck construction is simple: exceptional decks stand apart from ordinary ones in dramatic ways. The distinction between a standard deck and a remarkable outdoor space comes down to three essential elements: innovative planning, premium materials, and expert installation.
An outstanding deck features:
Adds roughly 65-75% return on investment when you sell your home
Creates usable living space at a fraction of the cost of an interior addition
Provides the perfect setting for everything from morning coffee to family gatherings
Extends your home's functional footprint without the complexity of full construction
But here’s what many homeowners don’t realize: that cheap deck quote you got? It might end up costing you more in the long run when boards start warping and fasteners start popping after just a few seasons.
The Deck Design Difference
How do you plan to use your deck? (Entertaining, dining, relaxing?)
What's your traffic pattern from house to yard?
Where does the sun hit throughout the day?
What views do you want to highlight or minimize?
How does the deck connect visually to your home's architecture?
Planning Your Space
Modern deck design has evolved far beyond simple rectangles. Contemporary outdoor spaces now feature:
Multi-level sections that define different use areas
Built-in seating that eliminates the need for bulky furniture
Pergolas for partial shade and visual interest
Integrated planters to bring greenery into the space
Curved or angled sections that break up the monotony
From outdoor kitchens to hot tub enclosures and custom pet washing stations, our Mahomet projects prove that no idea is too creative. Your imagination is our blueprint.
How We Build Your Deck
Discovery Session
We start with a thorough discussion about your needs, wants, and budget. This includes:
Examining your outdoor space and home architecture
Understanding how you plan to use the deck
Discussing material options and their pros/cons
Exploring feature additions that might enhance functionality
Tailored Design
We develop a comprehensive design blueprint featuring:
To-scale drawings showing dimensions and layout
3D renderings to help visualize the finished project
Material selections and feature recommendations
Clear, itemized pricing so you know exactly what you're getting
Expert Construction
We prioritize excellence throughout every phase of construction:
Proper foundation work (the part nobody sees but makes all the difference)
Precise framing with adequate support
Careful installation of decking and features
Attention to detail on finishing touches
Solid foundations and structural integrity aren’t negotiable. Too many homeowners contact us after discovering their deck was built with shortcuts, improper footings, inadequate support beams, or spacing that doesn’t meet code. We engineer decks that stay rock-solid for decades.
