What Goes Into a Safe, Durable Deck

Deck construction in Aurora starts with setting posts in concrete footings below the frost line to prevent movement during freeze-thaw cycles. PJD Construction & Roofing, Inc attaches beams to the posts, installs joists, and fastens decking boards with hidden clips or screws depending on the material you choose.

After construction, you'll have a deck that drains water between boards, resists warping, and supports furniture and foot traffic without flexing. Railings are secured to the frame with bolts, and balusters are spaced to meet safety codes.

Pressure-treated wood requires periodic staining or sealing to protect against moisture and UV damage. Composite decking maintains its color without treatment but costs more upfront. Both materials are installed with slight spacing to allow for expansion and contraction.

Homeowners Ask Practical Questions Before Building

Before starting a deck project in Aurora, homeowners typically ask about material options, permits, and how long the deck will last with regular use.

What's the difference between pressure-treated wood and composite decking?
Pressure-treated wood is less expensive and requires staining every few years. Composite decking costs more upfront but doesn't need staining or sealing and resists fading and splintering.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most residential decks are framed, decked, and finished in three to five days depending on size and complexity. Larger decks with multiple levels or built-in features take longer.
Why do deck posts need to be below the frost line?
Frost causes soil to expand and shift. Posts set below the frost line stay stable year-round and prevent the deck from moving or tilting.
What permits are required for deck construction in Aurora?
Most decks require a building permit, especially if they're attached to the house or raised more than 30 inches above grade. PJD Construction & Roofing, Inc handles permit applications and inspections.
How much space should I plan for a deck?
A 12 by 16 foot deck fits a table and chairs comfortably. Larger decks provide room for grills, seating areas, and planters.
