Decks & Patios FAQ

How long does a deck last?

Pressure-treated wood decks last 15–20 years with annual maintenance (staining/sealing). Composite decks last 25–30+ years with minimal maintenance — just occasional cleaning.

Do I need a permit to build a deck?

In most areas, yes. Any attached deck or deck higher than 30 inches above grade requires a building permit. Freestanding ground-level decks under 200 sq ft are exempt in many jurisdictions, but always check with your local building department.

Is a deck a good investment?

Yes. A wood deck addition recoups about 65% of its cost at resale according to the 2025 Cost vs. Value report. Composite decks return slightly less upfront but attract buyers who value low maintenance.

Should I choose wood or composite?

Wood is best for tight budgets and traditional aesthetics. Composite is better long-term value — no staining, no splinters, no rot. Over 20 years, composite often costs the same or less than wood when you factor in annual maintenance.
