1. Opt for High-Quality Decking Material

Choosing the right material is crucial for a long-lasting deck. TimberTech decking offers the beauty of natural wood without the drawbacks, such as cracking, mold, or rot. Its advanced PVC and composite materials are designed for durability, low maintenance, and lasting aesthetic appeal, providing a worry-free deck that saves money over time.

2. Enhance Safety and Style with New Railings

Deck railings serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. Updating or adding a railing can elevate the entire look of your deck. TimberTech railings, available in composite or metal, offer durability, low maintenance, and style, with a 25-year warranty. Panelized and pre-routed systems make installation easier while maintaining safety.

3. Consider Multi-Level Decks for Efficient Space Use

For limited or irregular outdoor areas, a multi-level deck can maximize space. Distinct areas for dining, lounging, or cooking add functionality and architectural interest to your home, creating a more versatile and visually appealing outdoor space.

4. Illuminate Your Deck for Ambiance and Safety

Deck lighting enhances both ambiance and safety. Options like in-deck lights for perimeter definition or riser lights for stairs make nighttime use safer and more enjoyable. Well-placed lighting allows you to extend the usability of your deck after dark.

5. Factor in Long-Term Costs and Value

Investing in high-performance, low-maintenance decking materials reduces upkeep costs and enhances your home’s value. Planning with durability and long-term savings in mind ensures that your remodel is a wise financial decision.

6. Seek Professional Help for Complex Renovations

While some projects can be DIY-friendly, structural changes like adding stairs or altering the deck layout are best handled by professionals. Working with a TimberTech-registered contractor ensures your remodel meets building codes and achieves your design vision safely and efficiently.

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!

Christopher and quality decking were so easy to work with. The communication was great! The pricing was reasonable, and we couldn’t be happier with the quality work. Our deck looks amazing! Highly recommend!

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!

Christopher and his crew were absolutely phenomenal, they were so hard working and incredible to work with! Thank you for the major upgrade to our deck area, for the excellent communication and for helping us tremendously improve the quality of our lives, Christopher! I would most definitely recommend Quality Decking of Utah to anyone looking for any type of deck work or deck improvement and would, without question, work with them again in the future!
