Deck builder in Chandler, AZ

Composite decking is the most popular choice in Chandler because it resists fading, warping and insects and never needs staining. Pressure-treated lumber is the most affordable option and holds up well when it is kept sealed. Cedar and redwood look beautiful and resist rot naturally, and dense hardwoods such as ipe last longest of all.

Think about how much sun the deck will get and how much maintenance you want to do. Those two answers usually settle the choice.

Most new decks and major changes to an existing one need a building permit from the City of Chandler, particularly when the deck is attached to the house, is more than about 30 inches off the ground or has a roof. The review checks structural strength, footings, railing height and how far the deck sits from property lines.

Low freestanding platforms are sometimes exempt, and rules change, so we check Chandler's current requirements for your design before work starts and tell you what is needed. If you live in an HOA community, its approval is separate from the city's.

Once we start building, most decks in Chandler take two to four weeks. That covers site preparation, concrete footings, framing, decking, and railings and stairs. Smaller, simpler decks are quicker; multi-level designs and custom features take longer.

From first design to finished deck, including permit review and material delivery, allow longer. Simple projects are often done in a month or so; larger ones take more.

No, but most HOAs want to approve exterior changes first, and many have rules about height, materials and colors. We can give you the drawings and material details your HOA asks for. Get its approval before ordering materials.
