Pressure-treated wood is an incredibly hardy wood that’s resistant to moisture, rot, mold, and termites. This makes it a fantastic, cost-effective decking material. Make sure you use Eden Prairie deck contractors who deeply understand how to utilize pressure-treated wood correctly.

Yes, you need a building permit to construct a new deck on a residential property in Eden Prairie. You can only get this permit in person at the City Center. It’s also important to remember that all deck construction must follow Minnesota residential code.

Absolutely, your deck significantly increases the value of your property. In fact, many deck owners recoup 100 percent or more of the cost of a new deck simply in property value. You should consult with your deck builders to discuss any concerns regarding property value.

Besides the physical differences between the two, natural wood provides an organic finish and appearance to your deck. Not only this, but prices are more beneficial to your wallet, averaging a lower cost than composite. While natural wood’s cost is unmatched alongside its looks, natural wood often requires a stain and sealant in order to boost its longevity.

Composite wood differs from natural wood in its durability, requiring little to no management, making it easy for those with busy lifestyles. Composite wood is made of both plastic and wood fibers that will mimic the fine grains of wood. While more durable than natural wood, composite is more often than not costly. Additionally, there are little variations in the gradient of colors you will see on a composite deck compared to the natural tone and gradient of natural wood.

For a long lasting deck, it is crucial to consider a deck stain and sealant in one that will allow your deck to survive the harsh weather.

Minnesota has one of the highest rates of failures for deck stain DIYers. The cause for this is the change in temperatures and how sensitive stains can be to both the cold and heat. Home Pro Decking ensures that the stain will be applied in the correct temperature to ensure the stain does not fade next season. Remember to contact a professional to apply these products to ensure it is done correctly.

A new deck should be purchased if you find the floorboards beginning to rot or lose their firmness, nails are starting to protrude, and support beams are losing their strength. If this is the situation, it is strongly recommended you consider purchasing a new deck for personal safety.

If your deck has considerably aged, but still retains its strength and properly serves its job, it is recommended to have a professional such as Home Pro Decking to apply a solid oil based stain to the wood to preserve it further.

In today’s world, many contractors will create a deck for their customers. While some may provide a perfect job, oftentimes the customer is left with just that, a deck.
