01

Initial Consultation & Site Assessment

We begin by meeting with you at your home to discuss your vision, needs, lifestyle, and budget. This is the time to explore ideas, ask questions, and establish the scope of your project. We also conduct a thorough site assessment to understand the existing conditions, identify any potential challenges, and ensure our recommendations are realistic and achievable.

02

Custom Design & Material Selection

Our design team works with you to create a detailed plan for your project. This includes layout reconfigurations, material selection, color coordination, and detailed renderings to help you visualize the final result. We visit our supplier showrooms together so you can see and feel the materials before making final decisions.

03

Selecting the right materials is one of the most important decisions in your deck builds project. The materials you choose affect the look, feel, durability, and long-term value of your finished space. Here is a guide to the premium materials we work with most frequently:

Composite Decking

Composite decking boards are made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastics, offering the look of natural wood without the ongoing maintenance. They resist fading, staining, mold, and scratching. Leading brands like Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon offer extensive color and texture options.

Pressure-Treated Lumber

Pressure-treated pine is the most common and affordable decking material. It is chemically treated to resist rot, decay, and insect damage. While it requires regular staining and sealing, pressure-treated lumber offers a classic look at a budget-friendly price.

Cedar and Redwood

Natural cedar and redwood are premium softwood choices that naturally resist rot and insects. They have a beautiful grain and warm color that many homeowners love. These woods do require periodic staining or sealing to maintain their appearance and longevity.

Aluminum Railing Systems

Aluminum railing systems offer a sleek, modern look with virtually zero maintenance. They are powder-coated for durability and available in a variety of colors and styles, from traditional to contemporary. Aluminum railings pair beautifully with both composite and natural wood decking.

Staying current with the latest design trends ensures that your deck builds project feels fresh, modern, and adds maximum value to your home. Here are the trends our Kansas clients are most excited about:

Outdoor Living Rooms

Decks are evolving from simple platforms into fully furnished outdoor living rooms. Homeowners are incorporating comfortable seating areas, outdoor rugs, fire features, and even televisions to create spaces that function as true extensions of the home during Kansas's warmer months.

Multi-Level Deck Designs

Multi-level decks create distinct zones for different activities — dining, lounging, grilling, and playing. Changes in elevation add visual interest and help manage grade changes on sloped lots. We design custom multi-level decks that flow naturally with your yard's terrain.

Integrated Outdoor Kitchens

Outdoor kitchens built into deck structures are a growing trend for homeowners who love to entertain. Features like built-in grills, sinks, refrigerators, countertop space, and bar seating turn your deck into the ultimate entertaining destination.

Understanding what drives the cost of a deck builds project helps you budget effectively and make informed decisions. Here are the key factors that influence the total cost of your project:

Decking Material

Material choice is the primary cost driver. Pressure-treated lumber is the most affordable, followed by natural hardwoods, with composite and PVC at the premium end. The long-term maintenance savings of composite often offset its higher upfront cost.

Deck Size and Height

Larger decks require more materials and labor. Elevated decks need additional structural support, posts, and often more complex railing systems, which increases the overall project cost.

Custom Features

Built-in features like benches, planters, pergolas, lighting, staircases, and outdoor kitchens add cost but also add significant functionality and value. These features make your deck a true outdoor living space.

Frequently Asked Questions About Deck Builds

We have compiled answers to the most common questions our Kansas clients ask about deck builds. Click any question below to reveal the answer.

Natural wood decking (such as cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated lumber) offers a classic look and lower upfront cost but requires regular staining, sealing, and maintenance. Composite decking is made from a blend of wood fibers and plastic polymers, offering superior resistance to fading, staining, scratching, and moisture. Composite decking requires virtually no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning and has a longer lifespan. We install both types and help you choose the best option for your lifestyle and budget.
A standard deck build typically takes 1 to 3 weeks from start to finish, depending on the size and complexity. Simple ground-level decks can be completed in about a week, while elevated, multi-level decks with built-in features like benches, pergolas, and lighting may take 3 to 4 weeks. We provide detailed timelines during the planning phase.
In most Kansas municipalities, yes, a building permit is required for new deck construction. The requirements vary by city and county, and factors like deck height, size, and attachment to the home influence the permitting requirements. As part of our full-service approach, SFT Remodeling handles all permitting and inspections, ensuring your new deck meets all local building codes.
Custom deck costs in Kansas typically range from $25 to $75 per square foot installed, depending on the materials, design complexity, and features included. A basic 300-square-foot pressure-treated wood deck might start around $8,000, while a premium composite deck with custom railings, lighting, and built-in seating could range from $20,000 to $50,000 or more. We provide detailed, no-obligation estimates.
Kansas weather can be tough on outdoor structures. For wood decks, we apply premium sealants and stains that protect against UV damage, moisture, and temperature extremes. For composite decking, we select products with advanced UV-resistant and moisture-resistant technology designed to withstand harsh climates. We also ensure proper drainage, ventilation, and structural support to maximize the longevity of your deck.
Absolutely. We specialize in custom deck features that enhance both function and ambiance. Popular additions include integrated LED lighting along stairs and railings, built-in bench seating with hidden storage, pergolas for shade, planter boxes, outdoor kitchens, and fire pit areas. Our design team works with you to incorporate features that match your outdoor living vision.
