Is it better to manage my own project or hire one company to do it all?

Kansas City, United States - April 22, 2021 / All Weather Decks /

Spring has sprung and now you’re warming to the idea of building a deck.  Fantastic!  However, you’re probably wondering how much money you’ll save by building it yourself.  While this may seem like a grand idea on the surface, you might be barking up the wrong tree if you’ve never built a deck before.  After all, deck construction requires more skill than knowing how to handle power tools and read a measuring tape.  To evade catastrophe, it’s best to hire one company to take the entire project from start to finish.

Avoid turning your dream deck into a DIY nightmare.

When undertaking a large home project on your own, numerous things can—and will—go wrong.  Building a deck is no different, which is why it’s important to understand the pitfalls early on.

Do you have a permit for that?  Building a deck requires permits before construction can begin.  To obtain permits, you must present detailed blueprints demonstrating without a doubt that the deck will be built according to code.  Once construction is complete, the deck will have to be inspected to make sure it’s in compliance with all codes and regulations.  When you hire one company to handle the deck building, they pull the permits and arrange the inspection process.  If something is not to up to code, it’s their responsibility to fix the issue, not yours.

Building a deck can be dangerous work!  Even when the day seems perfect because the sun is shining and the birds are singing, one slip of the saw or a miscalculated footstep can lead to a really bad day.  It’s best to steer clear of harm by hiring a professional company that has people who know what they’re doing.  If someone gets hurt on the job, the company is insured to deal with the medical bills and can continue with construction efforts by swiftly finding a replacement for the injured worker.  There’s only one you, so stick to what you know and leave deck construction to the experts.

A poorly built deck could hurt your home’s value.  While we all want to be proud of our handiwork, others aren’t always so appreciative.  If the deck is off-kilter or the design is not aesthetically pleasing, your home will be less marketable should you ever decide to sell.  By hiring a company to handle the project, you can even go with a more complicated deck design that incorporates the layout of your homes such as a two-story deck or an all-season room.  After all, building a deck that accentuates your home’s design and your yard’s natural beauty will raise your property’s value, which should be your goal from the very beginning.

When mistakes happen, they can be quite costly.  Nobody wants to think about mismeasuring posts or accidentally cutting a waterline, but these are very real blunders that can be expensive to repair.  Plus, construction efforts will slow to a crawl until corrections are complete.  Even deck-building experts can make mistakes occasionally, but these instances are rare and when they do happen, they know how to remedy the situation quickly and painlessly.

Sure, it’s possible for homeowners to save money by building the deck themselves, but this only happens if everything goes according to plan.  If you’re not willing to take this gamble, you’ve made a smart decision.  One of the most important skills of any do-it-yourselfer is to know when not to, and this absolutely applies to deck construction.  The best place for a homeowner is to stay safe on the sidelines watching their dream deck materialize before their very eyes with their peace of mind intact.
