A raised deck is a different job
The higher a deck sits, the more its footings, posts, bracing and connection to the house matter. Railings stop being optional, stairs get longer, and the whole thing has to hold up to wind and storms. It's the kind of deck where you want the owner of the company on site.
- Decks off a raised first floor or second story
- Footings, posts and bracing sized for the height
- Stairs down to the yard, with landings where needed
- Railings on every open side
- Composite or pressure-treated boards
Use the space underneath
A raised deck creates a shaded spot below. Tell us how you'd like to use it, whether that's a patio, a place for the grill, or storage, and we'll plan the posts and stairs around it.
Stairs and railings on existing decks
Already have a deck? We also build new stairs and replace worn or loose railings on existing decks. See deck replacement & repair.
