FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build a deck?
The cost of building a deck depends on the size, materials, and features you want. Most basic wooden decks cost $15-25 per square foot including labor and materials. More complex multi-level decks with added features can cost $30-60 per square foot. We provide free estimates, so contact Florence KY Deck Builders today to get an accurate price quote for your dream deck.
What size deck do I need?
The ideal deck size depends on how you plan to use it. For small gatherings, a 10×12 foot deck works well. Larger 12×16 to 16×20 foot decks accommodate patio seating. If hosting frequently, 20×20 feet or bigger is best. Measure your yard and consider traffic flow, sunlight, and views when deciding. Our team can help design the perfect custom deck for your needs.
What is the best wood for decking?
Pressure-treated pine is affordable and low-maintenance. Cedar and redwood are naturally rot-resistant. Composite decking lasts longer but costs more. The experts at Florence KY Deck Builders will help you select the right wood for your climate and budget.
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
Most areas require permits for deck construction to ensure code compliance. Our team handles the permit process for you. We know the local building codes and work with your city or county to get approved plans and permits to build your deck safely and legally.
How long does it take to build a deck?
A simple wooden deck takes 1-2 weeks to build. More complex multi-level decks require 3-4 weeks. At Florence KY Deck Builders, our skilled team works efficiently to complete your new deck on time. We coordinate all phases from demolishing an old deck to finishing your new outdoor living space.
When is the best time to build a deck?
Spring and summer are ideal for deck building before you want to enjoy the outdoors. However, our team works year-round. As long as temperatures stay above freezing, we can build you a new deck. Contact Florence KY Deck Builders to schedule your project.
Do you handle deck demolition?
Yes, full deck demolition is part of our process if you’re replacing an existing deck. We safely remove every component and dispose of the materials. This prep work is essential to build a strong foundation for your new deck.
