What deck builders on HeyAmigo can help with

A deck that's done right outlasts the people who built it; a deck that's done wrong is the source of every "don't step there" every summer. The deck builders on HeyAmigo handle pressure-treated builds (the budget standard, 15–20 years with maintenance), composite (Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon — 25+ years, no staining), and natural cedar or ipe for higher-end builds. They know the structural fundamentals most DIY guides understate: footings below frost line, ledger flashing that actually keeps water out of the house, joist-tape over framing where deck boards screw down, and the right joist hangers and hardware for ground contact and weather. They handle railings (cable, glass, wood, aluminum), built-in benches, pergolas, and the permitting and inspection process that any deck over a certain height requires by code.

Hiring a deck builder: what to know

A quick read so you know what to ask before you book.

When to hire a deck builder

Existing deck has soft spots underfoot, visible rot at the ledger, or posts that move when pushed. Structural failure on decks injures people every year — don't postpone.
Building new. Permits, footings, code, and ledger flashing are all jobs where DIY makes structural mistakes that surface 5 years in.
Wood deck has gone gray and splintery. Refinish (sand-stain-seal) for $1,500–$3,000 vs. replacing for $15,000+. Right call if framing is sound.
Composite upgrade from old wood. Strip the boards and re-board on the same framing if framing is in good shape — about half the cost of full rebuild.
Railings under 36" or with balusters more than 4" apart. Code violation, fail home inspection, dangerous for kids.

How to choose the right deck pro

Verify ledger flashing detail in writing. Joist tape on top of the ledger plus Z-flashing under siding. "We caulk it" is wrong; this is where deck-rot starts.
Confirm footing depth — below frost line in your climate (varies 24"–48"). Concrete piers without below-frost depth heave and fail.
Ask about hidden fastener systems for composite. Camo, Cortex, or manufacturer-specific clips. Face-screwing composite voids most warranties.
Get joist spacing right for the material. Composite usually needs 16" centers (some require 12" on diagonal). Wood is usually 16". Wider spacing creates spring underfoot and fails warranty.
Permit pulled before work starts. Decks over 30" off grade or attached to the house need permits in most municipalities; pros pull them.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a new deck cost on HeyAmigo?
Most new decks run $4,500–$28,000 depending on size and material. Pressure-treated wood $20–$35/sq ft installed; composite $30–$60/sq ft; ipe or cedar $40–$80/sq ft. Repairs and refinish $500–$3,500. Posting your job is free.
Composite or wood?
Composite if you don't want annual maintenance and plan to keep the home long-term — costs more upfront but no staining. Wood (cedar, pressure-treated) if budget matters and you don't mind staining every 2–3 years.
How long does a deck build take?
Small ground-level: 3–5 days. Standard 200 sq ft second-story: 7–10 days. Larger multi-level with pergola: 2–3 weeks. Concrete cure time and weather extend the schedule.
Do I need a permit?
Decks over 30" off grade or attached to the house need permits in most municipalities. Free-standing ground-level decks usually don't. Your builder will pull permits and schedule inspections.
How long does a deck last?
Pressure-treated: 15–20 years with refinishing every 2–3 years. Cedar: 15–25 years. Composite: 25–30+ years. Ipe: 25–40 years. Framing usually outlasts decking by 5–10 years; you can re-deck without rebuilding the whole structure.
Are HeyAmigo deck builders licensed and insured?
Yes. Every builder is verified for license (where required), insurance, and identity before they can quote. NADRA (North American Deck and Railing Association) certifications are listed on profiles when present.
Can I keep the framing and just replace the boards?
Yes if the framing is sound (no rot, joists straight, hardware intact). Saves about half the cost of full rebuild. Pros inspect framing first and recommend if rebuilding is the better long-term spend.
Is posting a job really free?
Yes. HeyAmigo is free for homeowners — no fees, no credit card. Builders pay HeyAmigo for the lead, not you.
