Deck & Patio Install – The Process
When hiring a contractor to build an outdoor space you typically want to follow these steps:
- Design and Planning
You will first want to discuss and draw what type of space you want, taking into consideration your wants, budget, and local building codes. You also want to discuss materials and durability that are ideal for the climate where you live. From there the site will need to be prepared by clearing and grading the space to remove obstacles and get the ground level. - Prepare the Foundation
The footings and posts will be dug out, forms set, concrete poured and now the foundation for your patio is set and ready to build on. - Framing
Once the lumber has arrived, the framing can commence. Decking material will be installed which could be pressure treated lumber, composite decking, or other materials of your choice. Decking is secured to the frame using appropriate fasteners and hardware and railings are installed for aesthetics and safety. - Sealing
Finally, the contractor will apply a sealant if using wood or any other kind of protectant to protect the wood from weather and moisture.
Deck & Patio Install – Safety and Stability
Throughout this process the contractor will take steps to provide safety and stability, including:
- Checking the site for levelness and stability.
- Using appropriate hardware and fasteners.
- Installing railings and other safety features.
- Following local building codes and regulations.
- Ensuring the deck or patio can support the weight of the people and furniture.
We at All Building Construction follow these steps to ensure all safety precautions are met and that our McMinnville clients’ needs and wants are completed with the utmost care.
