1) Footings
2) Framing
3) Decking surface
4) Handrails
Things To Consider
The materials chosen are an important factor in longevity and cost. Common materials used for deck construction are:
1) Douglas fir
2) Treated DF
3) Redwood
4) Trex
Many people are surprised to learn that a deck projects often require drawings and special city permits. These permits must be obtained if your deck project involves:
1) Structural tie in
2) Plumbing
3) Electrical wiring

Controlling the Cost of Your Deck
Budgets are an important factor in any deck project—which is why Maurer Construction ensures that you receive the highest value possible for whatever amount you plan to spend. If you would like to minimize the costs of your deck project, consider the following factors:
1) Keeping the same configuration will reduce your overall cost.
2) Be sure that any bids you receive are fully detailed and outline all the work you plan to do. This will help you avoid any “extra” costs as the project progresses.
A deck project represents a financial investment as well as an upgrade to a family’s living environment—which is why we encourage our clients to consider “value” as well as “cost.” Rather than simply choosing the contractor who presents the cheapest bid, we strongly advise working with a builder you can trust.
