Custom Deck Builder
in Utah County, UT

In 2026, installed Trex® and TimberTech® composite decks in Utah typically run $35–$55 per square foot, with most projects landing between $45 and $50/sq ft for mid-tier composite. A standard 320 sq ft deck (16×20) usually comes in between $14,000 and $17,000 turnkey, depending on railing style, height, stairs, and any custom features like built-in seating or under-deck dry storage.

Both are premium composite decking brands with similar 25- to 50-year warranties. Trex® is widely available and offers strong value at the Transcend and Signature tiers. TimberTech® AZEK is fully PVC (no wood fibers), making it slightly cooler underfoot and even more stain-resistant. We install both and will recommend the right one based on your sun exposure, color preferences, and budget.

Most residential decks take 1 to 3 weeks of active construction once we're on-site. Permit timelines vary by city — Lehi and American Fork typically issue permits in 1–2 weeks, Salt Lake City can take 3–4 weeks for complex builds. From signed contract to walkthrough, plan on 4 to 8 weeks total.

Modern capped composite boards (Trex Transcend, TimberTech AZEK) are explicitly engineered for UV stability and freeze-thaw cycles. They won't fade, splinter, rot, or warp the way older composites or untreated wood will. The biggest factor is correct installation — proper joist spacing and ventilation matter as much as the board itself.

Yes, this is a common scenario in Utah Valley homes. We either secure pressure-treated sleepers directly to the concrete or build a freestanding frame slightly elevated above the slab to ensure proper drainage. Both approaches work — the right choice depends on your slab condition and desired finish height.

Steel cable railing, side-mounted cable, glass panel, aluminum picket, traditional wood, and Trex® and TimberTech® composite railing systems. For Wasatch Front homes with mountain views, we typically recommend steel cable or glass to preserve the sightlines.

Yes — we pull every required permit in every city we serve. We know the plan-check requirements for American Fork, Lehi, Pleasant Grove, Orem, Provo, and Salt Lake City building departments, including snow load calculations, footing depths, and ledger attachment specs.

Yes. We back our craftsmanship with a workmanship warranty covering the framing, fasteners, and installation. The composite decking and railing brands we install (Trex®, TimberTech®) carry their own 25- to 50-year manufacturer warranties on the materials.
