Professional Deck Installations That Last Decades
Our deck installations can handle Flagstaff's unique weather conditions. We place the deck posts deep below the frost line to help prevent them from shifting or lifting when the ground freezes and thaws. Moreover, we install proper drainage to keep water from collecting, which helps prevent moisture damage and wood rot.
We also use rust-resistant fasteners because regular hardware can wear out quickly in Flagstaff's climate. Furthermore, we carefully build the deck frame with strong joists, proper support, and sturdy bracing to handle heavy snow loads.
Deck boards are installed with the right amount of space between them, allowing the wood to expand and contract as the seasons change. In addition, we install railings that meet current safety codes and make sure every edge is smooth and safe. Finally, we professionally seal and stain the deck to protect it from sunlight, moisture, and everyday weather damage. As a result, your deck stays stronger, safer, and looks great in the upcoming years.
Expert Deck Repair Services
Older decks frequently get damaged from years of exposure to the weather and lack of regular maintenance. Our deck repair services help restore your deck and make it last longer so that you may not need to replace the entire structure. Moreover, we carefully inspect the deck to find damaged or rotted boards and joists and replace them as needed.
We also replace loose or worn-out fasteners with rust-resistant ones to improve the deck's strength and durability. Plus, we repair or replace damaged sealants to prevent moisture from penetrating the wood that may cause further damage. We also strengthen railings and make sure they meet current safety requirements.

Material Options for Your Deck Installations and Repairs
Our custom deck builders offer multiple material options with each of them having different advantages.
Pressure-Treated Lumber
It is the most economical option, treated for rot resistance, but requires regular maintenance.
Cedar
It has beautiful warm tones and natural durability, but requires periodic sealing and maintenance.
Composite Materials
It's low maintenance and fade-resistant, but the price is higher compared to others.
Exotic Hardwoods
It has superior durability and appearance, with sustainable sourcing available. It will also be a premium investment.
We'll discuss which material best serves your climate zone, budget, and maintenance preferences. Our team ensures proper installation regardless of material choice.
