For St. Paul's climate, both pressure-treated wood and composite decking materials are excellent choices due to their durability and ability to withstand significant temperature swings and moisture. Pressure-treated wood, often Southern Yellow Pine, is cost-effective and can be stained or painted to match your home, but requires regular maintenance like sealing every 1-2 years. Composite decking, made from recycled plastics and wood fibers, offers superior resistance to rot, insects, and fading, and requires very little upkeep beyond occasional cleaning. Many St. Paul homeowners appreciate composite for its low maintenance, especially with our long winters.
Yes, St. Paul homeowners typically need a building permit for new deck construction, significant deck expansions, or major structural repairs to an existing deck. The City of St. Paul's Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI) reviews plans to ensure compliance with local zoning ordinances and building codes, including setbacks and structural requirements. We handle the permit application process for you, preparing the necessary plans and documentation to ensure everything is approved smoothly before construction begins. This helps avoid any delays or issues down the road.
Building a new deck in St. Paul generally takes between 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the deck's size, complexity, and the chosen materials. Smaller, simpler decks might be completed closer to the one-week mark, while larger, multi-level designs with features like built-in seating or pergolas will naturally take longer. This timeline includes the construction phase after permits are secured and materials are on site. Weather conditions, especially during our spring and fall seasons, can sometimes influence the schedule, but we always work efficiently to get your deck ready for you to enjoy as quickly as possible.
