A Better Deck Starts With a Better Plan

Whether you’re starting with a blank slate or looking at an existing deck that no longer works the way you’d like, good design starts with understanding the property, the home, and how you want to use the space.

For a new deck, Design Craft Outdoors can create a design around your specific needs, the conditions of your property, and the architectural character of your home—from size and layout to stairs, railings, materials, traffic flow, and the way the deck connects to the spaces around it.

If you already have a deck, starting over isn’t always the answer. A properly built existing structure may represent significant value and provide a sound starting point for a redesigned or updated deck. Our design and construction experience can help determine what is worth keeping and identify opportunities to improve what you have—re-decking a suitable existing structure, changing or expanding the layout, improving stairs and access, updating railings, or incorporating new features that make the space more attractive, functional, and enjoyable. When existing components can be responsibly reused, we can design around that value rather than replacing something simply because it’s already there.

Sometimes the best solution is a new deck. Sometimes it’s a better version of the one you already have. Our job is to help you determine which makes the most sense.
