Questions we get asked
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Madison?
Most deck projects in Madison require a building permit, especially if the deck is attached to the house or raised off the ground. We can tell you what applies to your specific project before we start.
How long does it take to build a deck?
It depends on the size, the material, and the weather. A straightforward deck can go up in a matter of days once materials are on site; a larger deck with stairs and railings takes longer.
Should I go with wood or composite decking?
Wood costs less up front but needs regular staining or sealing, especially through Wisconsin winters. Composite costs more but doesn't need that upkeep. We'll go over both so you can decide based on your budget and how much maintenance you want to do.
Can you repair my deck instead of replacing the whole thing?
Often, yes. If the framing underneath is still sound, we can replace boards, railings, or stairs without tearing the whole structure out. We check the framing first before recommending repair over replacement.
Do you remove my old deck before building the new one?
Yes, if you're replacing an existing deck, we demo it and haul away the old material as part of the job.
How deep do the footings need to go?
Footings need to go down below the frost line so the deck doesn't heave with the freeze-thaw cycle. We dig to the depth required for your site and soil conditions.
