A Tired Deck Makes the Whole Yard Feel Old
A deck is a structure. Footings below frost, proper ledger flashing and a railing that meets code aren't optional — they're the job.
Decks Framed for Iowa Code and Weather
All decks get concrete footings below 42 inches, treated framing, flashed ledgers and 36-inch railing that meets Iowa residential code.
Pressure-treated deck & rail
Treated 5/4 decking and 2x2 baluster railing. Stain after it dries for a long life.
Cedar decking & railing
Cedar decking, cedar posts and rails to match a cedar fence. Warm, light, and naturally rot-resistant.
Composite with aluminum balusters
Capped composite boards with hidden fasteners, cedar or composite posts and black aluminum balusters.
Most families go composite deck with cedar posts — zero upkeep on the boards, matching wood on the rail. Request a free estimate.

What to Know Before You Build a Deck
How much does a deck builder charge in Des Moines?
Treated decks run $35–$50 per square foot installed, cedar $45–$60, composite $55–$80. A 12x16 composite deck with railing and stairs is typically $11,000–$15,000.
Do I need a permit for a deck?
Yes, for any deck attached to the house or over 30 inches high. We pull it, schedule the footing and final inspections, and build to the Iowa residential code.
Composite or cedar?
Composite if you never want to stain again and the budget allows. Cedar if you want real wood and a lower up-front cost and don't mind staining every few years.
How long does a deck take?
Most residential decks take one to two weeks including inspections. Footings and framing go in the first few days; decking and railing finish it.
Workmanship warranty
If a post we set heaves or a gate we hung sags, we come back and fix it. Materials carry the manufacturer's warranty on top.
Why not wait?
Every winter a leaning fence leans more. Lumber and labor don't get cheaper, and the dog isn't getting slower. Build it now and have the yard this season.
