Frequently Ask Questions

Benefits of having a deck:

  1. Increased Outdoor Living Space: A deck can provide an additional space for entertaining guests, dining outside, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
  2. Enhance Property Value: A well-designed and maintained deck can add value to your property and increase its appeal to potential buyers if you decide to sell your home.
  3. Low Maintenance: Decks are typically made from durable materials such as wood, composite, or vinyl, which require minimal maintenance.
  4. Versatility: Decks can be designed and customized to suit a variety of needs and styles, from small intimate spaces to large multi-level structures.
  5. Adaptability: Decks can be easily adapted to suit changing needs or preferences, whether it’s adding furniture or changing the layout.

The type of deck that’s best for you will depend on your property, budget, and desired features. It’s always a good idea to consult with a professional contractor or builder to determine the best design for your specific needs.

Types of Decks:

  • Platform Deck: A simple and low-profile design, a platform deck is built low to the ground and is ideal for small spaces or as an extension of a patio.
  • Raised Deck: Raised decks are built off the ground and can be used to create a multi-level outdoor living space, providing different areas for cooking, dining, and relaxing.
  • Multilevel Deck: A multilevel deck is a series of raised platforms built at different heights. It is ideal for homes with sloping or uneven yards and can be used to create a visually interesting and functional outdoor space.
  • Wraparound Deck: A wraparound deck is built around the perimeter of a home, creating a continuous outdoor living space that provides access to different areas of the house.
  • Rooftop Deck: A rooftop deck is built on the top of a building or garage and is ideal for urban homes or properties with limited outdoor space.
  • Pool Deck: A pool deck is built around a swimming pool and provides a space for lounging, sunbathing, and entertaining.
  • Composite Deck: A composite deck is made from a mixture of wood fibers and recycled plastic, providing a low-maintenance and durable outdoor living space.

While decks can provide many benefits, there are also some potential disadvantages to consider:

  1. High Cost: Building a deck can be expensive, especially if you opt for high-quality materials or a complex design.
  2. Regular Maintenance: Even though decks are low maintenance compared to other outdoor living spaces, they still require regular upkeep such as cleaning and staining to prevent rot, decay, or insect infestations.
  3. Safety Hazards: Decks can be slippery when wet, and they can also be dangerous if not built to code or if they are poorly maintained. Railing or safety features must be installed to prevent falls or accidents.
  4. Sun Damage: Decks that are not shaded or covered can be susceptible to sun damage, which can cause the wood to crack, fade, or warp over time.
  5. Environmental Impact: Decks made from natural wood can have an impact on the environment, especially if the wood is not sustainably sourced. Composite decks, while more eco-friendly, are made from plastic and are not biodegradable.
  6. Limited Lifespan: Even with regular maintenance, decks have a limited lifespan and will eventually need to be replaced. The length of their lifespan will depend on factors such as the type of material used, weather exposure, and quality of construction.

It’s important to consider both the advantages and disadvantages of building a deck before making a decision. Proper planning, construction, and maintenance can minimize the potential drawbacks and ensure that you can enjoy your deck for years to come.

There are several materials commonly used to build a deck, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:

  1. Wood: Natural wood is a popular choice for decking, as it is attractive, durable, and readily available. However, it requires regular maintenance such as staining and sealing to protect against weathering and rot.
  2. Composite: Composite decking is made from a mixture of wood fibers and plastic, providing a low-maintenance and durable alternative to natural wood. It is resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, and does not require staining or sealing. However, it can be more expensive than natural wood and may be prone to fading and scratches.
  3. PVC: PVC decking is made from 100% plastic, making it resistant to moisture, rot, and insect damage. It is low-maintenance and does not require staining or sealing. However, it can be more expensive than other materials and may not have the same natural appearance as wood or composite decking.
  4. Aluminum: Aluminum decking is a lightweight and durable option that is resistant to moisture, rot, and insect damage. It is low-maintenance and does not require staining or sealing. However, it can be more expensive than other materials and may not have the same natural appearance as wood or composite decking.
  5. Concrete: Concrete decking is a durable and long-lasting option that can be customized to create a variety of styles and designs. However, it can be prone to cracking and may be more expensive than other materials.

The choice of decking material will depend on several factors, including budget, desired appearance, and maintenance requirements. It’s important to choose a material that is appropriate for the specific location and climate, and to consider factors such as durability, resistance to weathering and insect damage, and maintenance requirements.

The cost of an insulated skillion patio roof can vary depending on various factors such as the size of the patio, the materials used, and the complexity of the design.

Insulated skillion patio roofs can be more expensive than non-insulated roofs because they require additional materials and labor. The insulation materials themselves can also add to the cost.

However, an insulated skillion patio roof can provide benefits such as improved energy efficiency and greater protection from the elements, which can lead to long-term cost savings on energy bills and maintenance.

Ultimately, the cost of an insulated skillion patio roof will depend on the specific details of the project and the materials and labor involved.

Insulated skillion patios can be constructed using a variety of materials, depending on the desired aesthetic and functional qualities of the roof. Some common materials used in insulated skillion patio roofs include:

  1. Structural steel: Steel is a popular material for skillion patio roofs due to its strength and durability. It can also be coated or painted to match the surrounding architecture.
  2. Timber: Timber is another popular material for skillion patio roofs. It is lightweight and can be treated to resist rot and pests.
  3. Polycarbonate: Polycarbonate roofing panels are lightweight, durable, and available in a range of colors and styles. They can be used to create a translucent roof that allows natural light to filter through.
  4. Colorbond steel: Colorbond steel is a type of steel that has been coated with a layer of durable paint. It is available in a range of colors and styles and can be used to create a stylish and long-lasting roof.
  5. Insulation materials: Insulated skillion patios require insulation materials to be placed between the roofing material and the ceiling to reduce heat transfer. Common insulation materials include fiberglass batts, rigid foam board, and reflective foil insulation.

The choice of materials for an insulated skillion patio roof will depend on a number of factors, including the desired aesthetic, budget, and local climate conditions.
