When selecting a material for your new deck, there are several criteria to consider. Ideally, your new deck should be durable, weather-resistant, stylish, and affordable. However, with such a wide range of material options, you’ll have to make some trade-offs and weigh the pros and cons to find a material suitable for your budget, needs, and aesthetic preferences.
Generally speaking, contractors agree that the best materials for a new deck include the following:
Although pressure-treated lumber offers more long-term resistance and durability, not all wood decks need to be pressure-treated. Pressure-treating is a process where chemical preservatives are forced deep into lumber using high pressure, making it more durable and resistant to pests, weather, and warping.
Although significantly more expensive, woods like cedar and redwood do not need to be pressure treated and have natural resistance that other types of lumber do not. Pressure-treated wood is usually a better investment, as it’s more affordable and only requires periodic maintenance to preserve and provide long-term support.

If you have a big backyard and want to optimize your landscape design, investing in a multi-level deck is an excellent solution. Our multi-level decks provide you with the space you need and can support cooking, lounging, and entertainment activities without making you or your guests feel crowded. Multi-level decks are also a great option for homeowners with sloping terrain or unfinished landscaping.
With decks that are more than one story, careful planning and site evaluations are necessary to ensure there is proper drainage, structural integrity, and compliance with local building codes. Our skilled builders account for load-bearing requirements and stair and railing placements and create robust support systems to ensure the elevated parts of your deck will be structurally sound for years to come.
Most local authorities require a permit when building a new deck, with exceptions for smaller ground-level decks. Most uncovered decks that exceed a certain height, around 24 inches, covered or roofed decks, and multi-level decks require approvals for construction and safety inspections to proceed with the project.
Permit requirements vary but exist to ensure that your deck meets structural and safety requirements and has proper features like footings, framing, stairs, and guardrails. Permits also verify zoning compliance and help ensure our deck builders deliver projects that are able to stand the test of time.
Whether they’re multi-level, rooftop, or ground level, new decks require several safety features to pass inspections and remain compliant with building codes. From gates with childproof latches to load-bearing framing and properly flashed and attached ledger boards, there are numerous considerations for our deck builders when creating a new project.
Some of the vital safety features that are required and recommended when building a new deck include the following:
