A Guide to Deck Installation in Wichita, KS

Reliable Advice and a Guide to Deck Installation in Wichita, KS & Surrounding Areas

If you are thinking of a future deck installation, it’s never too soon to begin brainstorming the deck you want to add to your home. Do you need a place for cookouts? Maybe a deck alongside that pool you want to invest in, or somewhere to spend the quiet summer evenings. No matter what your dream deck is, our handymen want to share their favorite tips when it comes to deck installation.

As you begin planning, explore the hassle-free benefits of working with a professional handyman. When you have an idea of your budget and deck needs, complete a few different estimates with handyman companies to see who will work the best with you, your budget, and design.

Decks are multi-purpose areas of the home. They add value to your home as well as entertainment and practical use. For example, having and outdoor kitchen is a great amenity, but you will need to plan ahead the plumbing and electrical that project requires.

Deck Materials

  • Wood: classic and durable—requires maintenance, sealing, and staining.
  • Composite: made of plastic, wood, and glue—durable and a long lifetime.
  • Plastic or Vinyl—no maintenance—affected and damaged by extreme heat and weather.

No matter the material you choose, you will have many options for the style, design, and color of your railing and stairs. Railing is usually 3-feet high, and we recommend having post caps so no moisture can build up on top of your posts with rain, dew, or snow. Your posts will be at all corners and evenly spaced across the deck. For installing stairs, stairs will always need to be built onto a concrete pad to keep them level and from sinking into the ground or warping over the years.
