Wood Deck Installation
Get the classic beauty and natural warmth of a real wood deck built to last.
Why Wood Decks Never Go Out of Style
There is something special about a real wood deck. The natural grain, the warm color, and the way it feels under your feet cannot be matched by synthetic materials. Wood decks have been the standard for decades because they deliver timeless beauty and solid performance when built correctly.
We install wood decks throughout Nampa, ID, using pressure-treated lumber and premium wood species that stand up to Idaho's weather. Our experienced builders know how to construct decks that look great and last for years with proper maintenance.
Choosing the Right Wood for Your Deck
Not all wood is created equal. We help you choose the right material based on your budget, style preferences, and maintenance expectations. Here are the most popular options:
- Pressure-treated pine: Affordable, durable, and great for framing and decking
- Cedar: Naturally resistant to rot and insects with beautiful reddish tones
- Redwood: Premium option with rich color and excellent longevity
- Tropical hardwoods: Extremely durable exotic woods like Ipe or Tigerwood
Each wood type has its own look, feel, and maintenance requirements. We walk you through the pros and cons so you can make an informed decision. If you prefer low-maintenance options, we also offer composite deck installation as an alternative.
How We Build Your Wood Deck
Quality installation starts with a solid foundation. We begin by setting posts in concrete footings below the frost line. Then we build a level frame using pressure-treated joists spaced correctly for your decking choice. This foundation is what makes your deck stable and safe for decades.
Next, we install the decking boards with proper spacing for drainage and wood expansion. We use quality fasteners that resist rust and hold tight. Finally, we add railings and stairs that meet building codes and match your design vision.
After construction, we can apply a protective finish to your deck. Staining and sealing helps protect the wood from moisture and UV damage while enhancing its natural beauty. We recommend finishing your deck within the first few months to maximize its lifespan.
Keeping Your Wood Deck Beautiful
Wood decks need regular maintenance to stay looking their best. Plan to clean and reseal your deck every 2 to 3 years depending on sun exposure and weather. This simple maintenance protects your investment and keeps your deck safe and attractive. We offer maintenance services to make this easy for busy homeowners.
