When it comes time to finally build that new deck you’ve always dreamed about, the list of things to get in order can be a bit overwhelming. Building codes, what type of material to use, and how to maintain the deck once it’s installed are just a few considerations before deciding to take the plunge. Here at WNC Deck Builders of Asheville, we always push our customers to first decide the most important part of getting a new deck – who you work with.
Hiring a professional team of experienced contractors will ensure all of those worries (and more) will be addressed right the first time.

So you’re not quite sold yet on why you should consider building a deck? As any of the Asheville deck builders will tell you, building a deck makes your home better.
Okay, let’s back up a bit. There are four primary ways that building decks can make your home better.
When it comes to your home value, adding a deck can immediately provide an increase in your asking price, as it counts as additional features of the home.
If you’re not thinking of selling, however, hiring deck builders in Asheville to add a new deck can still improve your house’s value. A deck effectively adds more square footage to your living space meaning you can now hold meals, parties, and more where before you would be regulated to space within your house.
Pressure-treated wood is lumber that has been infused with different chemical compounds to make it more resistant than its untreated counterpart. Pressure-treated wood decks have become a very popular choice as some variations can be treated to gain resistance to moisture, fungus, insects, or even fire! As it is a more resilient version of traditional wood, it does cost a bit more but its long-lasting appeal often offsets this increase.
Specifically, wood that is not treated shares the aesthetically pleasing aspects of pressure-treated wood but not the added benefits. Natural wood is far more cost-effective, however, which gives it a slight edge. The only downside is it will need to be maintained more regularly to ensure it retains its natural beauty.
Tropical hardwoods consist of different beautiful species of lumber including IPE, Cumaru, Tigerwood, Massaranduba, Garapa, Cambara, and lots more! These are often pressure-treated and are considered more of a luxury item. The biggest benefit you’ll see is a wide range of colors and hardness that can really elevate your next project.
Redwood and cedar are two of the most popular suggestions for decks as they both have great benefits without needing to be pressure-treated wood. Redwood, for example, has a natural resistance to wood-boring insects while cedar is very resistant to rot and decay, which extends its lifespan. Regardless of which of these you choose, they both will result in high-quality decks.

Trex is a type of composite decking material that is infused with stain and fade-resistant color to retain its beauty for years to come. As a composite deck material, it shares both its advantages and disadvantages. However, going with Trex Decking has proven to some of our customers to be a great long-term investment in their property.
As deck builders, we of course offer full deck installation. For our Asheville North Carolina homeowners and beyond, we’ll guide you through the entire process starting with obtaining permits all the way to laying down the decking itself. Our quality service will ensure any new decks installed are done right the first time.
If you have an existing wood deck in your outdoor living space that has started to wear down, don’t worry as WNC Deck Builders has your back. We specialize in deck repair and replacement and can take care of any home project even if it’s just a small part of the wood deck needing to be replaced. We guarantee your wood deck will be good as new once our team is through.
Similar to pergolas, sunrooms are popular options to turn your deck into a great place to hang out. Unlike a pergola, though, they are typically connected to the house in some way and feature multiple windows to really allow for a room more aligned with your outdoor space but still having the convenience of indoor amenities.
While decks are our bread and butter, we are also wooden patio builders! While wood decks are typically raised platforms that can extend from the home, wood patios are typically installed directly on the ground using a variety of different techniques. A wood patio is cheaper than a deck and adds a lot of curb appeal when done just right.
North Carolina is known for many things, including being home to a city that ranks high on the list of the nation’s worst mosquito issues. Yikes! Luckily, our team is ready to turn your porch into a screened porch at a very reasonable price. Once installed, these screens provide protection from most flying insects that may otherwise ruin a relaxing summer evening outside.

When it comes down to choosing wood for your deck, you should always speak with your contractor team and confirm what is right for your lifestyle. While natural wood looks great, it needs a lot of maintenance compared to the other types, so you may prefer to go with something like treated wood or composite materials if you don’t have the time to keep up with it.
We recommend first using a leaf blower (or broom) to remove any excess dirt or leaves on the surface. Next, you should use a pressure washer (or hose with attachment) to wash away any soaked in dirt. Finally use an off-the-shelf deck cleaner (be sure to follow the instructions) to really clean it well followed by a comprehensive seal.
Our tips for keeping wasps (and other insects) away from your wood deck is to make sure any food, trash, water, etc are removed from your deck as soon as they are done with. If you live in Asheville NC, especially, standing water can really invite the worst of flying insects as they all breed within it and have no problems ruining your next BBQ.
