Understanding Orem's Unique Deck Building Challenges
Orem homes sit in a unique microclimate where benches create temperature variations from street to street. Properties on the east bench near Cascade Park experience more intense afternoon sun and stronger winds than homes closer to I-15. These factors directly impact what materials will perform best and how we need to engineer your deck's structure.
Many customers in Orem call us because their older decks are showing serious wear after 15 to 20 years. Homes built during Orem's rapid growth periods in the 1970s through 1990s often have original decks that used materials and methods that don't hold up to modern standards. The bentonite clay soil common throughout Orem expands and contracts with moisture changes, putting extra stress on deck foundations that weren't properly engineered.
Your deck investment needs to account for these local factors from day one. We work throughout Orem every week, from established neighborhoods near Cascade Park to newer developments west of State Street. That hands-on experience means we know exactly what works in your specific location and what shortcuts to avoid.
Building Decks That Match Orem's Housing Variety
Orem's housing stock ranges from mid-century ramblers to modern two-story homes in planned communities. Each era and style brings different considerations for deck design. Older homes often lack adequate outdoor access points, so we might recommend French doors or sliding doors to better connect your interior living space with your new deck. Newer homes in HOA communities may have specific requirements for materials, colors, and heights that we navigate for you.
Properties in Orem often deal with relatively small lots compared to neighboring cities, which means making smart use of every square foot. We design decks that maximize your usable outdoor space without overwhelming your yard or violating setback requirements. For homes with walkout basements common in east Orem, we create multi-level designs that provide ground-level patio access while maintaining upper-deck functionality.
If you're ready to upgrade your outdoor living space, our team brings the local expertise you need. We'll help you choose between low-maintenance composite materials and traditional wood options based on your specific property conditions and lifestyle preferences.
Common Deck Issues We Fix for Orem Homeowners
We regularly help Orem homeowners address problems that develop over time or were built wrong from the start. Rotting ledger boards are especially common in homes where the deck was attached to the house without proper flashing. This allows water to get trapped between the deck and your home's structure, causing damage you can't see until it becomes a serious problem. We install metal flashing correctly to prevent this issue entirely.
Another frequent issue involves undersized or improperly spaced joists that create bouncy, unsafe decking. Building codes have become more stringent over the years, and many older Orem decks don't meet current safety standards. When you're hosting family barbecues or kids' birthday parties, you need confidence that your deck can handle the load without flexing or, worse, failing catastrophically.
Your outdoor space should enhance your home value and your daily life, not create stress or safety concerns. Whether you need repairs to extend your deck's life or a complete replacement makes more sense, we'll give you an honest assessment and clear options to move forward.
