How Our Process Works

You'll meet with a builder to discuss layout options, material choices, and how the deck will connect to your home's existing structure. In Rapid City, proper footings and drainage are critical to preventing frost heave and water pooling, so soil conditions are assessed before any posts are set. You'll receive a detailed plan that includes dimensions, railing height, stair placement, and material specifications.

Diamond Ridge Exteriors uses treated lumber or composite decking based on your maintenance preferences and budget. Each joist is secured to code, and railings are installed at safe heights with secure fasteners. You'll see the structure take shape quickly, with clean cuts, level surfaces, and attention to every corner and seam.

Final steps include sanding, sealing, or staining for wood decks, or capping and trim work for composite installations. Builders inspect every board, post, and rail connection to ensure stability and safety before the project is complete. You'll walk away with a deck that's ready for furniture, gatherings, and seasons of use without worry.

What's Included in This Service?

Homeowners planning a new deck or repairing an existing one often ask about materials, timelines, and what to expect during construction. Here are answers to the most common questions.

How long does it take to build a custom deck?
Most decks are completed in one to two weeks, depending on size, layout, and weather. You'll receive a timeline during your design consultation.
Should I choose wood or composite decking?
Wood offers a classic look and can be stained or painted, while composite requires less maintenance and resists moisture and fading. Both perform well in Rapid City's climate when installed correctly.
Can you repair sections of my existing deck?
Yes. Warped boards, loose railings, and weathered surfaces can be replaced or refinished without tearing down the entire structure.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Absolutely. All necessary permits are secured before construction begins, and final inspections ensure your deck meets local building codes.
Will my deck hold up during Rapid City winters?
Yes. Proper footings, treated materials, and secure fasteners ensure your deck withstands freeze-thaw cycles, snow load, and seasonal moisture without warping or shifting.

Your backyard deserves a deck that's safe, functional, and built to last through every season. With clean craftsmanship, quality materials, and attention to structural details, you'll enjoy outdoor living without constant repairs or safety concerns. Reach out today to plan your custom deck project.
