Navigating Local Codes and Climate

Building in St. Louis County requires a thorough understanding of local regulations. The Department of Public Works has specific codes regarding deck construction, including setback requirements, load capacities, and railing heights. Our team handles the entire permitting process for you, ensuring your project is fully compliant and legal.

We also understand the impact of our local climate. Missouri's weather, with its hot, humid summers and cold, icy winters, can take a toll on outdoor structures. We recommend materials and construction techniques that resist warping, rot, and freeze-thaw damage, ensuring your deck remains safe and beautiful through every season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to build a deck?

Yes, most deck projects in St. Louis County require a building permit to ensure safety and zoning compliance. We manage the entire permitting process, including submitting plans and scheduling inspections.

How long does it take to build a deck?

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the deck, as well as weather conditions and permitting times. A standard deck typically takes one to two weeks to complete once construction begins. We provide a clear schedule during the planning phase.

What is the best material for a low-maintenance deck?

Composite decking is an excellent choice for low maintenance. It resists rot, fading, and insects, and it doesn't require staining or sealing like wood. However, it has a higher upfront cost. We can help you weigh the benefits and costs.

Can you repair my existing deck instead of replacing it?

In many cases, yes. If the structural framing is sound, we can often replace the decking boards and railings to give your deck a fresh look and ensure safety. We will perform a thorough inspection to determine if repair is a viable option.
