FAQ
Common questions
Do I need a permit?
In many areas, yes. Check with your local building department.
How do I know if my deck is unsafe?
Look for soft or rotted wood, loose railings, rusted fasteners and ledger problems. Get an inspection if in doubt.
Wood or composite?
Wood costs less upfront; composite needs less maintenance. Both need proper framing.
Can concrete decks be coated?
Yes. Pool and patio decks are commonly coated with slip-resistant systems such as polyurea or polyaspartic.
