Build the Deck This Fall and Be Ready for Spring

Spring is not the only time to build a deck in Roanoke. In fact, fall can be an excellent season to replace an aging deck or begin planning a completely new outdoor living space.

During summer, homeowners quickly discover what they wish their outdoor space had: more room for entertaining, better stairs, safer railings, more privacy or a layout that actually connects well with the house and yard.

Instead of waiting until everyone wants construction completed next spring, fall provides an opportunity to get ahead.

Blue Ridge Deck Crafters designs and builds custom decks for homeowners throughout the Roanoke Valley. Projects can range from straightforward replacement decks to larger outdoor spaces with multiple levels, stairs, rail systems and custom design details.

An older deck showing soft boards, movement, failing railings, loose stairs or deterioration around structural connections deserves more than cosmetic attention. These can be signs that repair or replacement should be considered.

A new deck should look good, but it also needs to be designed around how the family will actually use it.

Start planning during the cooler months, and your backyard could be ready when outdoor season returns.
