GUENTHER CONTRACTING

Choosing the right deck builder is a challenge. At Guenther Contracting we try to make that choice easier by being transparent about our process. Every custom deck build begins with a free, no-obligation estimate at your home.

 

We will take the time to listen to your needs and understand what you want to achieve with your deck area. Next, we’ll review all the ways we can bring your dream deck to life, including selecting the best material, incorporating your existing landscaping, and the architecture of your home. We’ll also go over any extra features you may want including planters, benches, and lighting, and go over options for railing styles.

​

You’ll receive a custom deck design and estimate for the project and we’ll give you time to review so you can make the right decision for your home and family. Once you’re happy with the design and the estimate, the next step of the process is to create blueprint drawings to submit with permit applications and order the materials. Once all the permits are arranged and the materials are in, we’ll begin construction on your new deck.

Deck & Railing Materials

 

Wood

Wood provides natural beauty to your outdoor space, but it does require periodic maintenance to ensure a long life. Choose from traditional pressure-treated pine and cedar or exotic hardwoods to achieve a natural, durable surface for your decks and railings.

​

​

Composite

Composite materials are long-lasting and maintenance free, and they are designed to look like natural materials. Choose from capped composites that are made from recycled materials or high-performance composite designed to resist fading and damage.

​

PVC

PVC products are another long-lasting, maintenance-free option that’s made to look like natural products. We offer several hardware types with PVC decking including a hidden fastener system for a smooth finish.

​

Metal

Metal provides a sleek, sophisticated finish with almost no maintenance needed. Frames are typically built from pressure-treated wood, but a steel frame can be built with added expense. Rail systems are custom made and can include a mix of materials. For example, choose cedar rails with aluminum balusters or composite rails with horizontal stainless steel cabling.
