Wood Deck Installation

The Timeless Appeal of Wood Decking

There is something special about a real wood deck. The natural grain, warm color, and authentic feel of wood create an outdoor space that just feels right. We install quality wood decks throughout Provo and the surrounding areas, using premium lumber that is built to last. If you appreciate traditional craftsmanship and natural materials, a wood deck might be the perfect choice for your home.

Wood decks offer versatility that is hard to beat. You can stain them any color, change the look as trends evolve, and enjoy the natural aging process that gives wood its character. With proper maintenance and care, a well-built wood deck serves your family for many years. We use pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and redwood depending on your budget and preferences, ensuring you get a deck that meets your needs.

Choosing the Right Wood for Your Deck

Different wood species offer different benefits. Here is what you need to know about the most popular options for deck construction in Provo:

• •Pressure-treated pine: The most affordable option. Treated to resist rot and insects. Great for structural framing and decking boards. Needs regular staining and sealing.
• •Cedar: Naturally resistant to decay and insects. Beautiful grain and color. Lighter weight than treated lumber. More expensive but requires less maintenance.
• •Redwood: Premium option with excellent durability. Rich color and minimal warping. Naturally resistant to moisture damage. Highest initial cost but exceptional longevity.
• •Tropical hardwoods: Extremely dense and durable woods like Ipe or Tigerwood. Can last 25 years or more with minimal maintenance. Premium pricing but unmatched durability.

Most of our Provo clients choose pressure-treated lumber for the frame and either pressure-treated or cedar for the decking surface. This combination provides excellent value while ensuring structural integrity and good looks.

How We Build Wood Decks That Last

A quality wood deck starts with proper planning and solid construction techniques. We begin by understanding your vision and assessing your property. We take measurements, discuss layout options, and help you choose materials that fit your budget and style preferences.

During installation, we focus on the details that matter. We build a strong foundation with properly spaced footings and support posts. We frame your deck with dimensional lumber sized correctly for the span and load requirements. We install decking boards with proper spacing for drainage and expansion, using quality fasteners that will not rust or pop out over time.

We can also add custom railings and stairs that match your deck perfectly. Many of our clients also choose to add pergolas or covered structures to provide shade and define different areas of their outdoor space.
