Deck builder in Glendale, AZ

Composite decking is the most popular choice in Glendale 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.

Stained wood decks that complement desert landscaping are also a favorite here, as are multi-level decks that make use of a larger yard.

Most new decks and major changes to an existing one need a building permit from the City of Glendale, 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 Glendale'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 Glendale 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.

Custom features such as built-in benches, lighting or a pergola add time. Permit review happens before building starts.

Yes. We clean, sand, repair and re-stain or paint wood decks. If boards are past saving we replace them before finishing, so the new coat goes onto sound wood.
