Outdoor Living FAQs
What's the best deck material for SC?
Composite decking is our top recommendation. It lasts 25+ years with minimal maintenance, handles humidity and temperature swings, and doesn't rot or warp. Pressure-treated wood is budget-friendly but requires sealing every 2–3 years.
How much does a deck cost?
Decks typically cost $30–$50 per square foot installed. A 12x16 pressure-treated deck runs $12,000–$15,000. Composite decks with stairs run $18,000–$28,000. Factors: materials, complexity, site access.
Do I need a permit for a deck?
Yes, decks over 18 inches high or larger than 200 sqft require permits in Simpsonville, Mauldin, Fountain Inn, and Woodruff. Permits ensure proper footings and code compliance. We handle permitting.
How long does a screened porch last?
Screened porches last 20–30 years if properly maintained. The roof and framing last the longest. Screens may need replacement every 10–15 years. Aluminum frames outlast wood.
Can I add a roof to my deck?
Yes! A covered deck (pergola or full roof) costs $55–$85 per sqft. A full roof protects against rain and adds HVAC-friendly space. Pergolas provide partial shade at lower cost ($35–$50/sqft).
