Why Are the Highest Quality Decks Built in the Winter?

Utah’s breathtaking landscape is a year-round spectacle, and with a covered deck, you can enjoy it from the comfort of your home, no matter the season. While most people wait until spring to start their outdoor projects, the savvy Utah homeowner knows that winter is the ideal time to build. This isn’t just about beating the seasonal rush; it’s about securing a superior, more thoughtfully crafted build because contractors are less rushed and can truly dedicate their time and expertise to your project.

In the warmer months, contractors are inundated with requests for estimates, scheduling, and project completion. This intense demand can lead to a rushed process from start to finish. Permitting offices are swamped, leading to potential delays. Estimates are often quick and less detailed as contractors try to get to the next appointment. Crews are under pressure to finish one job quickly to start another. This fast-paced environment, while efficient for a busy schedule, can sometimes compromise the attention to detail that a high-quality deck or cover requires.

By contrast, winter offers a refreshing change of pace. When you reach out to a contractor during the off-season, they have more time to dedicate to your project from the very beginning. The estimating process is more thorough, allowing them to provide a detailed, accurate quote and answer all your questions without feeling rushed. They can take their time with permitting applications, ensuring all paperwork is correct and avoiding unnecessary delays.

Most importantly, when the build begins, their crews can work at a more deliberate pace. With fewer jobs lined up, they aren’t pressured to cut corners or rush through critical steps. They can meticulously ensure every beam is plumb, every screw is secure, and every detail is perfect. This deliberate approach results in a stronger, more beautiful, and ultimately more durable deck cover that will stand the test of time and Utah’s dramatic weather. When spring arrives, instead of scrambling to get on a contractor’s schedule, you’ll be relaxing on your new, expertly built covered deck, ready for a full year of outdoor enjoyment.

I had my deck repaired yesterday and quality decking of Utah did a great job! I had two companies give bids for the project and this company offered a bid for a 1/4 of the price as the other deck repair company. This business also has way better communication than any other deck repair business that I contacted. Most other businesses did not even call or text me back. Below are some before and after pictures of the work performed. Thanks quality decking of Utah!

Chris and his team were a pleasure to work with. They helped us remove our old deck and replace it with a larger Trex deck and wooden pergola. They paid attention to all the details and were committed to delivering a high quality product. We also appreciated Chris’s excellent communication throughout the project. We’re glad we selected the Quality Decking of Utah team and highly recommend them to anyone considering a new deck. We look forward to many great summers enjoying our new deck and pergola!

We had a great experience with Quality Decking of Utah from beginning to end. They were very willing to discuss various options and trade-offs as we considered the project. Cristopher is very knowledgeable and helped me feel confident about the options we discussed. We ended up, selecting some significant maintenance rather than replacing the entire deck. The work included replacing facia boards on the outside of both upper and lower decks, and repairing some significant water damage on the lower level of the deck. They were very willing to accommodate this and were sensitive to our concerns about keeping the…

Quality Decking of Utah gave us exactly what we wanted. Christopher came out and quickly gave us a quote that was well within our budget and kept us informed every step of the way. He was very professional and had an amazing eye for detail. His team had our pergola anchored and fully assembled in only 3 days. They came back after it was finished to do a quality inspection and touch ups. I couldn’t recommend this company enough! They truly care about their customers and the work they do!
