Deck Design — What to Consider Before You Build
Cover key planning decisions homeowners should think through before starting a deck project:
- Size & Layout—How will you use the space? Dining, lounging, entertaining?
- Material Selection—Composite vs. natural wood, railing styles, and finish options.
- Sun & Shade Exposure—Orientation affects comfort and material longevity.
- Local Permit Requirements — Most decks in Wichita require a building permit.
- Landscaping Integration — How the deck connects with your yard, garden, or pool area.
Composite vs. Wood Decking — Which Is Right for You?
A clear comparison of composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) vs. natural wood (cedar, redwood):
Composite Decking—Higher upfront cost, minimal maintenance, consistent appearance, longer warranty (typically 25–50 years). Best for a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Natural Wood—Lower upfront cost, natural beauty, requires periodic staining and sealing. Best for those who prefer a classic look and don't mind routine upkeep.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Wichita, KS?
Most decks do require a building permit in Wichita. We handle permit coordination as part of our process.
How long does deck construction take?
A typical residential deck can be completed in 1–2 weeks depending on size, complexity, and material availability.
What's the difference between composite and wood decking?
Composite requires less maintenance and offers a longer warranty, while natural wood offers a traditional look at a lower upfront cost. We'll help you weigh the trade-offs.
How do I maintain my deck after installation?
Composite decks need only occasional cleaning. Wood decks should be cleaned and resealed every 1–3 years to protect against weathering.

In many cases, yes. We'll assess the structural integrity of your existing deck and recommend the most cost-effective path forward.
