Why Build a Deck?
Adding a deck to your home offers numerous benefits.
For example, decks provide a beautiful outdoor living space for you and your family. Enjoying nature is easy when you have a deck. Even better, your home’s property value also increases!
Building a deck also adds more space to your home and can be used to entertain guests, host family gatherings, or simply relax outdoors. As a great addition to your home, decks are versatile and can be customized to fit the specific needs and preferences of the homeowner. Whether you’re planning to have a multi-level deck, an attached or detached deck, or a deck with built-in seating and lighting, we can make it happen for you.
Finally, decks aren’t as expensive as many homeowners assume. When you consider the value they provide, they prove to be solid long-term investments. After all, only a few home improvement projects provide value like a brand-new deck.
Types of Decks
Not sure which type of deck works best for you? Here’s how you can tell.
Deck builders specialize in designing decks with customers in mind. We offer two types of deck materials that are timeless and durable.
Here’s the difference between the two:
Composite Deck
Composite decks use synthetic wood made from plastic and wood pulp fibers. Unlike many natural kinds of wood, composite wood is reliable and immune to wood rot. It is designed to look like natural wood and often has natural wood grain texture and color variations to mimic the appearance of natural wood. While it may look artificial to some, it depends on what material your deck builder uses.
Composite wood offers many advantages over natural wood, such as:
- Lower maintenance: Composite woods are more reliable than natural woods. As a result, they require less maintenance and repairs. All you need to clean composite wood is a garden hose!
- Improved durability: Water and sun exposure don’t damage composite woods the way it does with natural woods.
- Increased customizability: With composite wood, you have greater design flexibility, it can be manufactured in a wide range of colors, textures, and patterns, giving deck builders the freedom to create unique and custom designs for your projects
- Long-run value: Over time, composite woods save money by requiring fewer repairs.
Wood Deck
Wood decks use natural, non-artificial wood cut from real trees. A timeless option, wood decks remain an incredibly popular choice for homeowners. Deck builders offer a wide selection of natural woods homeowners can choose from.
Wood decks provide a natural, genuine look that many homeowners just love. Although they require more maintenance than composite decks, they are cheaper to build. Taking steps to prevent wood rot and damage can help prevent future damage.
Choosing the right type of wood for your wood deck can be challenging. Here are some of the most common options:
- Pine: Pine wood is inexpensive but beautiful.
- Cedar: While more pricy than pine, cedar wood is easier to maintain. They also offer enhanced resistance to pests and wood rot.
- Redwood: A common choice for homeowners looking for a reddish deck. These decks offer natural resistance to decay, rot, and insects, making them durable and low-maintenance options for outdoor living.
Consider your budget and desired look when deciding which type of wood you want. Also, make sure you plan to have your deck treated and protected against wood rot and damage.
Why Hire Professional Deck Builders?
Building a deck is a challenging task, so make sure you hire the right deck builders for your project.
You might think that you can build your deck. After all, how’s it any different from your average home improvement project? Unfortunately, DIY deck building is extremely dangerous and unsafe.
Decks are complicated structures that require thorough planning and professional skill to build. They must be capable of supporting thousands of pounds of weight and be structurally sound. An amateur deck will more than likely experience structural failure at some point, putting you and your loved ones at risk.
Building your own deck is also illegal in many places. Decks must follow certain city and state codes that only experts are familiar with. Why take this risk when you can hire professional deck builders?
Professional deck builders will ensure your deck is safe and built as per your city codes. Using proper deck-building materials, our team at TrueDecks will build a deck that meets your needs. Best of all, they’ll work with speed and efficiency to finish the job as quickly as possible.

Eric MarksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On time, professional and comprehensive approach to an older deck. Have been using DeckMaster for years and will continue to do so. Very courteous workers Joan GlasgowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wilmer Pena and crew are the best! Amanda GarzonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. TrueDecks did a great job bringing my deck back to life. The deck had weathered substantially, nails were sticking out, and I couldn't walk barefoot due to deep ridges in the wood. The guys came one day to do the prep (cleaning) and then another day to sand the deck, repair the wood, replace two planks, and weather seal the entire deck. They were very friendly and respectful. Carlos initially came out to give the estimate and the price did not differ. It was the most competitive to the three quotes I received. They were recommended by a friend who also loved the work they did on her deck in Virginia. Amy IadarolaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deck looks fantastic, thanks! Karin MarshallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. TrueDecks did a fantastic job. Our deck was in sad shape and had been neglected for quite a while. They replaced boards, sanded, painted, and made it look amazing! I highly recommend their services. John GatewoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. TrueDecks did an excellent job refurbishing our deck. I called when I found a rotting support post and asked if it could be salvaged at all. Fernando did an excellent job explaining the process and provided a fair quote and positive prognosis for the deck's future. The workmanship was excellent and the deck looks better than ever. The crew was professional and considerate through the process. There were a few issues around communication: After the initial cleaning we had to follow up on our own (~10 days later) to schedule the actual staining of the deck, which did occur promptly the next day. Additionally, the plan to paint an area of the deck white was not clearly communicated to the crew, requiring a second trip out to repaint that area. To their credit TrueDecks made it right and the quality of work was excellent. Overall I'd absolutely recommend their services and plan to call again the next time our deck needs a refresh. Liza LathamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contracted with TrueDecks to replace all the railings on my 20 year old deck. The ballisters were falling out and parts of the railing fell off because of wood rot under the railings. We have a pretty good-sized deck and I was amazed how fast they demolished and replaced the railings, rebuilt 2 sets of stairs, replaced and realigned the 2 storm doors of the screen room, and added extra posts and beams to properly provide more support for our screen porch, including leveling it off as it had dropped a couple of inches in one corner. The bulk of the renovation was pretty much complete in 3 days! We also contracted for power washing of the deck and the house, and added a screen replacement for the screen porch to replace the many holes and loose screening. The estimator Carlos Del Prete was just Great to work with. He took the time to explain everything that was needed and all the work that was being performed. Carlos was our first contact with TrueDecks to provide the estimate, came out a second time to talk with us some more and he visited the job site at least 3 more times to check in on us and the work, and answer any questions we might have. Carlos was very attentive throughout the project. Pavel, the Construction Manager was easy to reach and kept in touch throughout the process. Both Carlos and Pavel had great communication throughout the whole project. Selvin and Fernando did all the hard labor - they were awesome! They were prompt, worked hard, and were very respectful of our yard and home. I work from home in a room that leads to the screen porch and deck and I really appreciated how hard they worked, that they were not disruptive, and I could continue my work day without interruption. They cleaned up the work area at the end of each day so it wasn't messy. The TrueDeck office staff were very helpful and equally communicative. Can't say how happy I am with my nearly brand new deck! Would highly recommend TrueDecks! zachary zurichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called truedecks to get a quote for my deck and patio project. After a month of back and forth and hours of time truedecks contract provides no start date and no completion date. They ask for 25% upfront without any plans being approved or any commitment to start or finish the project. I asked to speak to the owner he refused. Note the owner denied this however I'm attaching the text message with fernando specifically requesting to speak to Jose. Their idea of business is give us $40,000 and we will tell you later if and when we will build your deck whenever we feel like it. Also they blame the failure on lack of a performance bond which had nothing to do with it. The company wanted 40k upfront which is unreasonable. I told them I would not do that without a performance bond which they clearly financially weren't in a position to get. But aside from that they refused to draw plans and obtain approvals without 40,000. That is what is unreasonable. What if they deck wasn't even approved. You can see from my text message the owner is clearly not being truthful. Just trying to make a nonsense response to what are clearly bad business practices and poor communication. bayard catronTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My home was built circa 1986 and I bought it in 2017. I believe the deck was original to the house and was on its last legs. Rather than continue with the expensive maintenance of a painted wood deck, I opted to re-do the deck using Trex flooring and vinyl railings so I can just wash it once or twice a year. Based on my research, TrueDecks offered a fair price and had the experience, photos and reviews to assure I'd get good service and product. Our project manager was Fernando - he visited us for the estimate and answered all our questions, and provided lots of samples of the materials. Fernando assured us if there was a minor cost overrun, we would not be responsible for the extra charge, and he was as good as his word. Pavel assisted Fernando with the management of the project and visited the site during construction, and Selvin was the on-site carpenter subcontractor who removed the old deck and built the new one. He and his team were fantastic and got the job done quickly and well, working through multiple 100-degree days, finishing plenty early so we can have our party on the July 4 weekend. I am so grateful to TrueDecks for making our dream of a lower-maintenance deck come true, and for exceeding our expectations in every way. I will be recommending TrueDecks to all my friends and family and keeping them in my Rolodex for possible future construction.
