Build Quality Decks Yourself Or Hire A Professional?

Quality decks are a necessity for home builders and homeowners. While they do not usually come with the expense of landscaping, maintenance and other things that would be considered "luxury" to most people, quality decks can be worth their prices. For one thing, they are designed to last a lifetime - long after any other type of deck is long gone. In addition, good quality decks are built with materials that will withstand any weather conditions Mother Nature throws at them.

Some decks require more work than others when it comes to maintaining their appearance. Good quality decks have been designed with features that can make the overall appearance improves over time, such as new decorative lumber and staining techniques. Many of these features are not available in generic decks, which often contain lumber that is less durable and has less appeal. While it may seem cheaper to buy a deck that doesn't last as long, when you add up the cost of repairs and possible replacements over time, you will likely save money by buying a quality deck instead.

Some homeowners prefer to build their own decks, which can be highly customized and are often more affordable than those made from pre-constructed or prefabricated parts. Wood is typically the material of choice for most homeowners, because it is easy to work with and requires little upkeep. Most good quality decks have solid wood boards with large flat end pieces, rather than the hollow plywood "pegs" that are common on cheaper decks. These are also usually pressure treated woods, ensuring that the wooden component will withstand outside elements. Picking the right size of wood is important, as decks vary in size depending on how many guests you are planning on having on the deck. Solid hardwood decking is the preferred option for many homeowners, although it is also possible to purchase lumber that is less durable if this is the case.

The most common and reliable deck construction method is to build your own deck from scratch using lumber that has been specially cut and assembled to your specifications. This is obviously more expensive than purchasing decks that are already made, but since it is what most people would prefer, the extra expense is certainly worth it. Good quality decks are constructed by professional carpenters who make use of quality materials and tools. The lumber should be well dried, and all nails and screws used are high quality and long-lasting.

Homeowners can find a variety of beautiful ready-to-assemble (RTA) decks online that are very reasonable in price. The downside is that these decks tend to lack of customization options and may not suit the specific needs of the homeowner. Building your own deck is not for everyone, and in some cases it requires a significant amount of skill and know-how. Some people are able to build very nice RTA decks using only basic do-it-yourself tools and techniques. There are other people that simply don't have the time or skills necessary to put together a quality deck. For this reason, if you have no experience with building decks, then RTA might not be the best option for you.

Before you choose any type of decking material, take some time to consider the pros and cons of your different options. The wood you will be using for your deck plays an important role in determining quality decks. Decking made from softwood such as Pine is often the lowest priced, but it is also the most susceptible to rotting and damage. Hardwood decking such as Maple and oak are often more expensive, but they resist decay and can last for many years. You'll also need to think about the design of your deck, whether you want to build a traditional patio or a tropical Fish Cabin, and consider your budget before you buy your deck materials.
