4 Steps to Building the Perfect Deck This Spring

4 Steps to Building the Perfect Deck This Spring

It is Springtime, and you are looking for a nice place to relax outdoors at your home. A deck is a perfect place to sit and relax with a cold drink, good book, and maybe even grilling. If you do not have a deck but have been thinking about building one, now is the time to build it. Intelligent Design has four steps to build that perfect deck for you and your family to enjoy.

1. Building Permits in Maple Grove, Minnesota

Before you buy or build anything, check with the city or county officials to inquire if you need a building permit to build your deck. If a permit is needed, there will be steps to take to obtain one before you can start building. If a permit is not needed you will be able to start building instantly. We can help you get all the necessary paperwork together to build your perfect deck.

2. Designing Your Perfect Deck

Having a design is essential when building anything even a deck. You may need a design to obtain a building permit, but you will especially need a design to tell the contractor what your perfect deck should look like in Minnesota. When designing your deck decide how big you want your deck. Make sure you include enough space for all your outdoor furniture, grill and enough room to move around comfortably. One our professionals at Intelligent Design can discuss with you all the details of your design.

3. Choosing the Perfect Decking Materials

Two main types of decking materials are wood and composite. If you choose wood as your deck material, you will have many different kinds of wood that you can choose from such as pine and redwood. The initial cost of wood may be less expensive than composite material, however, there is more upkeep with a wood deck. You will need to replace wood boards as they warp and rot. You will also have to treat the wood often to keep your deck in perfect shape for years to come.

Composite decking materials are a combination of wood and plastic fibers. Initially, the cost of this is very minimal. You will not need to replace or treat the composite material.

4. Build Your Perfect Deck

Now that you have the paperwork, plans, and type of deck materials in order, it is time to build the perfect deck for you to relax on and enjoy. Our professional contractors can build the deck for you and your family’s enjoyment. Our contractors know all the correct nails, screws and other hardware that will work best with the type of deck material that you chose.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Stan and Alex climb our home and do a very thorough inspection of the hail damage on the roof and steel siding.  They were honest and upfront and told me that we had little to no damage which was confirmed by the insurance adjuster.  I admire their integrity and value their professional approach.  They documented everything and left me a folder full of data to compare to if I was to get another storm.  I will be calling them once that happens!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I toured the Intelligent Design facility in Maple Grove, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Seeing their full operation, including the paint shop and cabinet shop, really highlights the quality and craftsmanship they pour into every detail. What truly sets them apart, though, is the team. I had the pleasure of speaking with Stan (who co-owns the business with his wife) and Val, one of the project managers. They are incredibly solid, professional, and genuine people who clearly take pride in their work. I would definitely use them for my own future projects and highly recommend them for yours as well. If you’re looking for a professional team that delivers top-tier results with a personal touch, this is the place!
