Built to Last

The parts you don’t see decide how long a deck lasts. Here is what goes under and into a TC Decks build, and why.

Steel framing (Fortress Evolution)

Steel joists and beams won’t rot, warp or twist, and give a perfectly flat deck surface for decades.

Fully capped PVC boards absorb almost no water, so they hold up to Utah freeze-thaw cycles and stay cooler in the sun.

On wood-framed decks, flashing tape on top of every joist keeps water out of screw holes and slows rot.

Corrosion-resistant screws and connectors rated for treated lumber and outdoor exposure.

American Ground Screw footings install fast with no concrete cure time and hold firm in Utah soils.

Proper airflow under the deck and water management at the house keep moisture from causing damage.

Every deck is designed and inspected to local code, with framing sized for snow loads, hot tubs and roofs.

Ask us which of these fit your project and budget. Not every deck needs steel framing, but every deck gets built right.
