Choosing Done Right Decks for your Tempe property means partnering with a builder who understands the local environment. We're not just familiar with Scottsdale; our teams regularly work in Tempe, navigating its varied neighborhoods from Papago Park to South Tempe. This local presence means we can offer prompt site visits and maintain efficient project schedules, because we spend less time commuting and more time building. We also stay current on Tempe's specific permitting requirements and HOA guidelines, which simplifies the approval process for your new deck.
Our approach to deck building prioritizes structural integrity and material performance. For instance, when framing, we use hot-dipped galvanized fasteners and joist hangers, because these resist corrosion far better than electro-galvanized alternatives, especially important in our arid climate where even small amounts of moisture can cause issues. For decking surfaces, we often recommend composite materials like Trex or AZEK, which offer superior fade, stain, and scratch resistance compared to wood, reducing maintenance for Tempe homeowners. If wood is preferred, we specify kiln-dried lumber and apply high-quality sealants to mitigate warping and cracking.
When you work with us, you can expect a systematic and clear process. Our initial consultation involves a detailed site assessment, where we evaluate your property's specific conditions, including sun exposure, drainage, and soil type. We then provide a comprehensive proposal outlining material specifications, a detailed scope of work, and a projected timeline. Throughout the build, our project leads maintain consistent communication, ensuring you are informed at every stage, from foundation pouring to final inspection. We aim for efficient execution and a finished product that performs exactly as promised.
For Tempe's climate, composite decking materials like Trex, TimberTech, or AZEK are often the most durable and low-maintenance choice. These engineered products are designed to resist fading, warping, and insect damage, which means they hold up exceptionally well against intense UV radiation and temperature fluctuations without needing annual staining or sealing. If natural wood is preferred, pressure-treated lumber or tropical hardwoods like Ipe can be used, but they require more regular maintenance, including sealing, to prevent drying, cracking, and splintering in the dry heat. We help you weigh the initial cost against long-term upkeep for your specific needs.
Yes, Tempe homeowners typically need a building permit for deck construction, especially if the deck is attached to the house or elevated more than 30 inches above grade. The City of Tempe's Planning and Development Department requires permits to ensure that all structures meet local zoning ordinances, setback requirements, and structural safety codes. We handle the entire permitting process, including preparing detailed plans and submitting all necessary documentation, which means you don't have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself. This ensures your deck is built legally and safely, avoiding potential issues down the line.
A typical deck construction project in Tempe, from breaking ground to final inspection, usually takes between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the deck's size, complexity, and material choices. This timeline includes site preparation, foundation work, framing, decking installation, railing construction, and any integrated features like benches or pergolas. Factors such as HOA approvals, weather delays (though infrequent in Tempe), and the lead time for specialized materials can influence the schedule. We provide a detailed project timeline upfront, so you know what to expect at each stage of the build.
