Frequently Asked Lehi Deck Installation Questions

Do I Need a Building Permit for Lehi Deck Installation?

It is necessary to get a permit for a new installation in Lehi or other parts of Utah, but that's not something homeowners need to worry about when our team is on the job. In fact, Utah state law requires contractors working on a given project to pull the necessary permits themselves. We've completed many permitted projects in Lehi, so we know exactly which permits are necessary and how to obtain them. We'll take care of the whole permit process, so you don't have to worry about any paperwork.

You can also rest assured that our work will adhere to all municipal and state building codes and meet or exceed the standards for a safe, durable, well-constructed installation. We take building regulations seriously because we value a safe workplace and want to ensure the structures we build will stand the test of time.

How Big Should My New Installation Be?

That really depends on your property and the needs of your household. The general rule of thumb states a Lehi deck installation should not be bigger than about 20% of the overall square footage of the house so it doesn't visually overwhelm the building or lower its curb appeal. However, that's just a suggestion, and you're certainly not bound to follow it if you prefer a larger installation to gain extra living space outdoors. Another factor to remember is that before we start digging into the ground for post holes, we'll need to find out where buried utility lines and other possible obstructions are. If there are buried obstacles to work around, they may limit your options somewhat for size and shape of your Lehi deck installation.

What's the Best Way to Maintain a Deck?

Overall, most decks require minimal maintenance, like sanding and refinishing every few years. But if you want to preserve the condition of a wooden structure for as long as possible, one of the very best things you can do is keep moisture away from it as much as possible. Move patio furniture and planters around to avoid trapping water against the deck boards for long periods of time, trim back bushes and tree branches, and keep your rain gutters clean and in great shape, so they can keep all the rain that lands on your roof away from the rest of your house. Annual cleaning from a professional handyman with a pressure washing machine can also do a lot to keep your Lehi deck installation in great shape.

What Are The Most Popular Decking Material Options?

Most homeowners opt for pressure-treated wood because it is most cost-effective and easily obtained from the local hardware store. Because it is chemically treated, it has a high level of moisture resistance and, thus, doesn’t require you to seal it after purchase.

The next in line is cedar wood, which is naturally water-resistant and doesn’t require sealing. However, it is highly recommended that you do so if you want its natural shine to last for longer. Property owners who want to keep regular maintenance to a minimum are advised to opt for composite materials, which consist of wood fibers and synthetics. This type of Lehi deck installation has become popular due to its resilience to the elements; it also requires the least number of deck repairs. If you still struggle to choose the right Lehi deck installation material, our handyman team is happy to help you weigh the pros and cons.
