Are you looking for a nice project to look forward to when winter has ended? It’s not too early to get started planning. In fact, you could meet with a deck builder to get the plans drawn up and then present them to your family as a unique holiday gift. It might surprise you that a deck project can begin far sooner in the season than you might think. As long as the ground is no longer frozen, it isn’t an issue to begin placing the footings.
When you meet with a deck builder, it can be helpful to have an idea about what you want to achieve in terms of deck size and location. Their experience will be a valuable resource during the planning stage, but sharing your vision helps guide them in the right direction. One thing to think about is how you plan to use your deck. Let your deck builder know if you are looking for a small space for some seating, something large for entertaining, or a size somewhere in the middle. Be prepared to alter your idea to coincide with any building code restrictions and your budget, but knowing how you want to use your new deck is a good start. Another thing to discuss with your deck builder is the materials to be used. Composite decking costs more upfront than wood decking, but can last far longer and need less maintenance.
