Construction Quality

Our Attention To Detail During Deck Construction Is Unparalleled

Our Meticulous Methods Can’t Be Matched-and It Really Shows In Our Finished Products


Not all deck companies have the same standards when it comes to construction quality.

At Custom Decks, we’re committed to customer service and quality craftsmanship:

  • We’ve built the highest-quality team by paying and treating them better. Outstanding installers = outstanding decks.
  • We use techniques and methods that go above and beyond “standard practice.” (Keep reading below for specific examples.)

We’re just plain committed to doing things the right way. (Read more about this on our Keeping Our Word page and our Core Values page.)


Proof That We Build It Better

Here are a few examples of our leading construction standards:

  • Most decks are installed with floorboards running parallel to your home. We install our boards at a 45-degree angle, which reduces “racking.” (Racking is where a deck shakes a bit when you walk on it or shift your weight on it.)
  • The joists are what supports your deck boards. For a deck to meet code, joists must be 16 inches on center. Not good enough for us – we install them 12 inches on center for more stability.
  • We also put a border around the perimeter of our decks, the border board is supported with 12″ on center blocking. This helps strengthen the overall structure and looks fantastic.
  • We always use pressure treated lumber on every deck we build, even when it’s not required by code. This insures a longer life for your deck without extra expense.

We don’t think it should be a premium to build a deck the right way. All of the above comes standard with every deck we build.


Our 10-Year Labor Warranty

We’re absolute sticklers for quality construction standards for two reasons:

  • Our integrity as a company is very important to us. We always do what we say we’re going to do. We just sleep better knowing we do things the right way.
  • It’s also good business. We give you a 10-Year Labor Warranty on all our decks. If we didn’t do it right the first time, we would drown in service and repair calls. We overbuild it to make sure it will stand the test of time.
