Deck Construction

Deck Construction

Year-round outdoor living spaces built for mountain weather.

Utah's dramatic seasons demand decks that withstand blazing summer sun and heavy winter snow. We design and build durable outdoor spaces using materials proven in our climate, from composite decking that resists drying to reinforced footings that prevent frost heave.

For homes along the benches with panoramic views, we incorporate glass railings to preserve sightlines. In shaded areas like Liberty Park neighborhoods, we select slip-resistant surfaces that handle morning dew and afternoon shade. Every design considers proper drainage to prevent ice buildup on stairs and walkways.

We're particularly experienced with hillside installations common in Draper and Sandy, where proper grading and retaining walls ensure long-term stability. All structures meet current snow load requirements and include hidden fasteners to prevent surface checking.
