Deck Construction

Residential Deck Construction involves building an outdoor platform, typically attached to a house, designed for leisure activities, dining, or as an extension of living space. Decks can vary in size and design, often including railings, stairs, and support structures to ensure safety and stability. Since decks are considered structural additions, a permit is usually required before construction begins. Permits ensure the deck complies with local building codes, including requirements for load capacity, post spacing, footing depth, and railing height. These regulations are crucial for the safety of occupants and to avoid future legal or financial issues, such as fines or complications during property sales.
