From cozy Capitol Hill balconies to expansive Sandy backyard decks, we build outdoor spaces that endure Utah's weather extremes. We select materials that resist our intense sun exposure and winter moisture - avoiding woods that splinter in dry air and composites that can warp with temperature swings.
Our designs account for snow load requirements that vary across the valley - higher in Cottonwood-adjacent areas, different in Provo's lower elevation. We properly space boards to accommodate seasonal wood movement and use hidden fasteners that won't loosen over time. For homes near the mountains, we include wind considerations in our structural plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my deck last in Utah's climate?
Properly maintained, our decks typically last 15-20 years - we avoid materials that degrade quickly in our sun.
Do you build covered decks for winter use?
Yes, we can design covered spaces with proper ventilation to prevent inversion buildup.
What railing works best with our views?
Glass maintains views of the Wasatch while cable systems work well in windy areas.
