Outdoor Living Built for Your Yard

Custom deck construction services in Denver designed to match your home and outdoor needs.

If you live in Denver and your backyard gets used more for storing tools than hosting friends, a custom deck can change how you use the space during warmer months. Blanks Construction LLC builds decks that fit the layout of your yard and the style of your home, using materials chosen to hold up through freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal moisture common in Pennsylvania.

The process starts with understanding how you plan to use the space—whether you need a spot for grilling, enough room for seating, or a layout that works around mature trees or sloped ground. Each deck is built with attention to joinery, spacing, and attachment to your home's structure, and the materials are selected to resist warping and weathering over time.

What goes into building a deck that lasts

Your deck project in Denver begins with a site review that accounts for ground slope, drainage patterns, and how the structure will attach to your home. Posts are set below frost line, ledger boards are flashed and fastened to code, and framing is spaced to support decking without flexing or sagging. The materials you choose—whether treated lumber, composite, or cedar—affect appearance, maintenance needs, and how well the surface handles moisture over the years.

Once the deck is finished, you'll notice a stable walking surface with consistent board spacing, railings that feel solid when you lean on them, and a structure that doesn't shift or creak under normal use. Water sheds off the surface instead of pooling, and fasteners sit flush so they don't catch on bare feet.

The work also includes installing stairs if your yard requires them, along with railings that meet height and spacing requirements. Blanks Construction LLC handles projects across nearby communities in Lancaster County, adjusting the design to fit your lot and how you plan to use the space.

A few things homeowners usually want to know

Before starting a deck project, most people have practical questions about timing, materials, and what the finished structure will look and feel like once it's built.

What materials hold up best for decks in this area?
Pressure-treated lumber resists rot and is cost-effective, while composite decking reduces maintenance and doesn't splinter. Cedar offers natural resistance to moisture but requires periodic sealing to maintain color.
How long does it take to build a custom deck?
Most deck projects in Denver take one to two weeks depending on size, layout, and weather conditions. Blanks Construction LLC schedules around your timeline and keeps the site organized throughout the build.
What happens if my yard slopes or has drainage issues?
Sloped yards often require taller posts and additional bracing, and drainage is managed by grading around the deck footings so water moves away from your foundation. The design adjusts to fit the terrain without compromising stability.
Why do some decks feel bouncy when you walk on them?
That usually means joists are spaced too far apart or the wrong size for the span. Proper framing keeps the surface firm underfoot, even when multiple people are standing in one spot.
When is the best time to build a deck?
Spring through fall works best in Pennsylvania, as concrete footings cure more predictably and weather allows for steady progress. You can still plan a project over winter for installation once ground thaws.
