Frequently Asked Questions

What services does a professional deck builder offer?

A professional deck builder offers far more than simply installing boards. At Cedarbrook, our services span the full scope of outdoor living, including custom deck design, 3D modeling, permit acquisition, foundation installation, deck construction, railing and lighting installation, deck skirting, underdeck systems, deck repair and resurfacing, and complete rebuilds. Beyond the deck itself, we also build pergolas, patios, porches, privacy screens, gazebos, outdoor kitchens, bars, hardscapes, and full outdoor living environments.

Start by looking for a contractor who is licensed, bonded, and insured, this protects you throughout the build. Ask about their experience with your preferred materials, whether they handle permits, and what their warranty coverage looks like. A strong contractor will offer a design consultation, provide 3D renderings so you can visualize the finished project, and manage the entire process from start to final inspection. Reviews, a solid portfolio, and transparent communication are equally important indicators of a contractor you can trust.

A full-service deck company should offer a wide range of material options to suit any style, climate, and budget. At Cedarbrook, we work with wood (cedar, pressure-treated lumber, exotic hardwoods like Ipe, softwoods like redwood), composite decking (Trex, TimberTech by Azek, Fiberon, Deckorators, MoistureShield, and more), PVC decking, fiberglass, and bamboo. For framing, we use wood, steel, aluminum, composite, fiberglass, and pressure-treated LVL. Railing materials include wood, composite, glass, vinyl, aluminum, steel, cable, and wrought iron.

A professionally built deck is safer, longer-lasting, and often more cost-effective in the long run. Professional contractors have the expertise to handle structural engineering, proper footing installation, local permitting requirements, and code compliance, all of which are easy to get wrong without experience. Beyond safety, a professional deck builder brings access to premium materials, manufacturer warranties, and design tools like 3D renderings that ensure you love the result before construction begins. DIY mistakes can be costly to fix and may affect your home’s resale value. With a professional, you get peace of mind and a finished space built to last.
