What to Consider With Custom Deck Design & Installation
While a deck installation is a more expensive and complicated process, they offer a great return on investment, helping to boost your home’s overall value. They also work well on uneven terrain, so you can choose a deck over a patio if that’s a concern.
Before deciding to install a deck, think about how much time you want to spend maintaining it before deciding which material to use. Wood decks are susceptible to damage from the weather over time, which can lead to rot. Wood decks also need to be repainted or re-stained over time. Feel free to contact one of our expert team members for our custom deck design services.
If you’d prefer a more low-maintenance deck, consider installing one made from Trex composite decking instead.
Do You Need a Deck Enclosure?
A deck enclosure refers to the transformation of an outdoor deck into a more protected and usable space often enhancing comfort, utility, and the aesthetic appeal of the area.
These enclosures can range from simple screened-in designs to more elaborate sunrooms, and they serve various purposes, including extending living spaces, providing shelter from insects and weather, and increasing privacy. Here’s a breakdown of common types of deck enclosures:
- Screened-In Deck: This is one of the most popular types of deck enclosures, featuring screens that protect against insects and debris while still allowing for airflow and a view of the outdoors. It’s an ideal choice for those looking to enjoy their outdoor space without the annoyance of bugs.
- Pergola: While not fully enclosed, a pergola adds a defined space to your deck, providing partial shade and a structure that can support climbing plants, creating a natural, green canopy. This deck cover option is great for those who appreciate an open-air feel but desire a bit of protection from the direct sunlight.
- Retractable Awnings or Canopies: For those seeking a flexible solution, retractable awnings or canopies provide shade and protection from the rain, allowing for the option to enjoy the sun when preferred. These can be motorized or manually operated.
When considering a deck enclosure, it’s important to think about your specific needs, such as the desired level of protection from the elements, your budget, and how the enclosure will blend with your home’s existing architecture.
Benefits of Trex Composite Decking
Choose the right Trex decking installation contractor if you want the job done right. As a TrexPro Platinum Dealer, we believe it’s one of the best building materials on the market. Here are some of the benefits of choosing Trex, a composite decking material for your deck installation:
- It’s an extremely durable material, resistant to fading and stains, eliminating the need for repainting
- It’s also resistant to mold, mildew, rot, and termites, unlike other decking materials
- It requires very little maintenance; you only need to use soap and water to keep it clean
- It can save you money over the life of your deck because it will require less maintenance and repairs than a deck made from wood

FAQ: Deck Installation
How much does it cost to build a custom deck?
The cost of a new deck depends on factors such as its size, elevation, layout, decking material, railing selection, stairs, structural requirements, and additional features. The best way to establish an accurate budget is to have our team evaluate your property and discuss your project goals.
Is composite decking better than wood?
The best material depends on your priorities. Traditional wood can provide a classic appearance but generally requires more ongoing maintenance. Composite decking is popular with homeowners who want a durable, attractive surface with less routine maintenance.
What should I consider when designing a new deck?
Think about how you plan to use the space, how many people you’ll typically accommodate, furniture placement, access from your home, stairs, shade, privacy, maintenance preferences, and how the deck will connect with the rest of your backyard.
Do I need HOA approval or permits for a new deck?
Requirements vary depending on your property and jurisdiction. Sunburst’s project process includes drawings and applicable HOA and permitting coordination so these requirements can be addressed before construction begins.
Can you build a covered deck?
Yes. Sunburst Construction offers deck-cover and other outdoor-living options that can add shade and protection while making your deck more comfortable throughout more of the year.
Does my new deck come with a warranty?
Sunburst Construction provides a five-year structural and workmanship warranty for deck construction, with manufacturer warranties applying to eligible materials. Warranty terms can vary depending on the type of project and materials selected, so we’ll review the applicable coverage for your project.
