Build Outdoor Space You'll Actually Use

Plan Deck Design & Construction in Pittsburgh

Your backyard should be a place where you can relax, host gatherings, and enjoy the outdoors. If you're in Pittsburgh without a functional outdoor space, a custom deck can change how you use your property. Sturchios Residential Construction builds decks using high-quality lumber and composite materials that stand up to weather, foot traffic, and seasonal changes.

Pittsburgh neighborhoods are known for hilly terrain, which means grading, structural supports, and layout planning require careful evaluation. Bellevue and Brentwood homeowners benefit from custom designs that match yard size, home style, and personal preferences. Durable materials and proper safety standards ensure reliable performance in all seasons, whether you're dealing with summer heat or winter freeze-thaw cycles.

What's Included in This Service

The process begins with a site visit to assess your yard's grading, drainage, and access points. You'll review design options that fit your space, budget, and intended use. Pittsburgh properties with slopes or uneven terrain often require additional foundation work to ensure the deck is level and stable.

Sturchios Residential Construction uses durable materials like pressure-treated lumber and composite decking that resist rot, warping, and insect damage. Railings, stairs, and support posts are installed according to local safety codes. Each board is secured with corrosion-resistant fasteners, and final inspections confirm everything is level, secure, and ready for use.

Services are available for new deck builds, expansions, and repairs. Whether you're adding a small platform or a multi-level structure, the team handles everything from permits to finishing touches. A well-built deck design Pittsburgh project adds usable square footage, improves outdoor living, and increases home value.

How Our Process Works

Homeowners often ask about material longevity, permit requirements, and whether their yard can support a deck. These questions help clarify what's involved and ensure the project meets local regulations.

How long do composite decks last?
Composite materials typically last 25 to 30 years with minimal maintenance. They resist fading, staining, and moisture damage better than traditional wood.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes, permit applications and inspections are managed as part of the build. Local codes in Pittsburgh require approval for most deck projects.
Can you build on sloped or uneven yards?
Yes, hilly terrain is common in Pittsburgh. Additional foundation work and support posts are used to create a level, stable structure.
How long does a typical deck build take?
Most projects are completed in one to two weeks depending on size, design complexity, and weather. Larger multi-level decks may take longer.
Do you offer repairs for existing decks?
Yes, repairs include board replacement, railing fixes, and structural reinforcements. Inspections identify safety concerns and recommend necessary updates.

A custom deck expands your outdoor living space and adds value to your home, especially in neighborhoods where backyards are key to resale appeal. Contact us to discuss your design ideas and schedule a site visit.
