Unlock Your Home’s Potential With Our Custom Decks

Special Deck Materials We Use

At West Shire Decks, we offer a variety of decking materials to suit your needs:

Wood decking brings natural beauty to your outdoor space with its warm, classic look. You can paint or stain it any color you like to match your home perfectly. It’s a timeless choice that many homeowners love for its traditional charm.

Pressure-treated wood is regular wood that’s been made super strong to fight off bugs, rot, and weather damage. It costs less than other materials but still lasts for many years. This is a great choice if you want a quality deck without spending too much money.

Composite decking is made from recycled wood and plastic mixed together to create boards that look like real wood. You never have to paint, stain, or seal it – just wash it with soap and water! It lasts 25-50 years and comes in many beautiful colors.

PVC decking is made from 100% plastic, making it the toughest deck material you can buy. It won’t rot, crack, or get damaged by water, mold, or bugs ever! Perfect for pool decks and wet areas, PVC decking stays beautiful for decades with almost no care needed.

Our team of experts will ensure precise installation and attention to detail, helping you select the best decking material for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

Q: What decking materials do you offer?

A: We offer wood, pressure-treated wood, composite, PVC, and Trex decking.

Q: What services do you provide for deck installation?

A: We provide design consultation, foundation installation, deck construction, permit acquisition, and more.

Q: Do I need to clean my deck?

A: Yes, but it’s super easy! Just sweep off leaves and dirt regularly, and wash it once or twice a year with soap and water. Composite and PVC decks need even less care than wood decks. We’ll show you exactly how to keep your deck looking beautiful.

Q:Do you offer deck repair services?

A: Yes, we offer deck inspection, deck resurfacing, deck rehab, and deck addition.

Q: What happens if it rains during installation?

A little rain won’t stop us! We protect your home and work area with tarps and coverings. If there’s a big storm, we’ll pause and come back when it’s safe. Don’t worry – rain won’t damage the materials.

Q: Do you Offer Any Discounts or Warranties?

A: We offer discounts and warranties for our deck installation services. We provide a 5% veteran discount to show appreciation for those who have served our country. Additionally, we are proud to be a Trex Pro Platinum and TimberTech Platinum contractor, which allows us to offer their respective warranties. Depending on the board chosen, Trex and TimberTech offer a 25-50-year limited warranty for their decking products.

Q: How much weight can a deck hold?

Most decks can hold about 50 pounds per square foot, which means your deck is very strong! That’s enough for furniture, people, a grill, and even a hot tub if built specially for it. We make sure every deck we build is super safe and can hold whatever you need.

Q: Can you match my existing deck if I want to make it bigger?

Absolutely! We can add onto your current deck to make it larger.

Q: Do deck boards need to be replaced eventually?

Wood decks might need new boards after 15-20 years, but composite and PVC decks can last 25-50 years without replacing boards! Regular cleaning helps everything last longer.

West Shire just completed my deck replacement/upgrade project. I love the result. The composite materials are sleek and stylish. I'm very happy to now have a well-built, maintenance-free beautiful deck.

The West Shire team was extremely professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of the project. There were also excellent communications during the project. I was away during a week of the build and Justin provided routine text and photo updates to keep me informed.

I would highly recommend this team of decking professionals for your project.

Process was fast from the estimate to accepting the contract. The workers were there daily rain or shine to complete the job. The foreman was great and answered all our questions as the build progressed. They had some minor delays with a whole week of rain but finished the project timely. Great company to work with throughout the process. We are currently enjoying our deck with the new furniture.

West Shire Decks removed the old wooden steps and tiny platform from the side of my parents’ home, and replaced their stairs with beautiful maintenance-free TimberTech stairs. They replaced the tiny wooden platform at the top of the stairs with a TimberTech deck. My parents can now move their grill and some chairs onto the deck. They told me that WestShire craftsmen are perfectionists and did a beautiful job. My parents were thrilled with their work. They told me that Ron and Tom were amazingly talented. They asked me to thank everyone at WestShire Decks for their great work ethic.

My beautiful 10-year-old Trex deck with a contoured designer fence separating my townhouse property from those on either side collapsed due to a rotted frame! The entire deck of undamaged floorboards and the fence sections were carefully disassembled then reassembled after the rotted wood had been removed and replaced with a new quality treated wood frame. Looks like new, gang, thanks to Justin, Jason, and "the Boys from Brazil"!

There are no words to describe how happy and satisfied I am with my new deck and the craftmanship and service provided by WSD.

We hired West Shire Decks to build a 12'x16' ground-level composite deck including demolition and disposal of an existing pergola. We are very pleased with the result and with our experience working with the company. The crew's craftsmanship and quality of work is outstanding. They went the extra mile to make sure the job was done right such as jack hammering out the old pergola's concrete footers so that new ones could be correctly installed according to code.

The work started and ended on time. As with any project, there were a couple of minor communication issues which were resolved quickly and efficiently. The cost was in-line with other bids we received. There are a lot of fly-by-night operators in the deck business but it was nice to do business with true professionals.

Curt Genesse

Had a great experience with West Shire Decks. Best quote out of 5 companies to build a 2nd story Trex deck. Chad and team communicated throughout the process and built a beautiful deck in one day. All of the crew were very nice from Demo to construction - couldnt be happier with the team!

Ashley Miller

West Shire Decks not only provides wonderful service, but also provides wonderful people to perform the service. That is what is most important to me.

You can assure your deck will be done to the best standards out there, and you’ll enjoy the process if you choose West Shire Decks. Give them a call.

Daniel Popp

All staff were polite and very professional. The cost of the composite deck replacement was reasonable and West Shire carried out the project without any problems. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a new deck or replacement of an existing deck.

Edwina Reineberg

20:10 26 Apr 23

We had West Shire demolish our old wood deck as well as an unusable room attached to our basement, exposing a cement pad that we will use as additional outdoor space. The process went smoothly from start to finish. Dave was our salesperson and he worked with us to get what we wanted while staying close to budget. He explained the products that would be used and took his time to help us finalize decisions. They were here when they said they would be here and worked full days to get the job done in a reasonable amount of time for such a large project. Communication by phone, email and in person was always welcomed and responded to within a short period of time. The crew members that worked on our home were friendly, respectful and professional, helping us to understand the process. Our project foreman, Brandon, was very helpful in explaining the next steps of the demolition and the build. The clean up process went smoothly and now we can't wait to enjoy our new West Shire deck! We would recommend them any time.

Chad and team arrived after an attempted DIY deck renovation project got a little over-my-head. Chad was able to make use of existing material while also improving on the original plan. The result was better than I could have anticipated. Chad's eye to detail and his team's professionalism left me with no doubt I made a wise decision. Great experience and highly recommended!
