Local decks

What we look for on Wayne decks

Wayne has big older lots and tighter streets near Lancaster Avenue. Here's what we check first.

  • Two views side by side: new deck framing and joists before the boards go down, and a finished grey composite deck with white and black railings

    Footings and frame

    Footings have to sit below the frost line, at the depth the township's code sets. A footing above it heaves every winter and takes the deck with it. On an older deck, that's the first thing we check.

  • Worn wood deck boards with peeling paint along the side of a house, tools lying on the boards

    Worn boards, sound frame

    If the joists, beams and footings are solid, new boards and railings usually do the job for a lot less than a new deck. If the frame is soft, new boards on top won't fix it, and we'll tell you.

  • Deck resurfaced with brown composite boards and new white railings

    Composite or wood

    Trex and TimberTech boards don't rot, splinter or need staining, and they cost more up front. Pressure-treated wood costs less and needs sealing every couple of years. Either way, the frame underneath is treated lumber built to code. We'll price both if you want to compare.

Frame first

Repair or replace? We look underneath first

Most tired decks don't need tearing out. We check the frame, the footings and where the deck attaches to the house. If those are sound, new boards and railings usually do the job for a lot less than a new deck. If the frame is rotten, new boards on top won't fix it, and we'll tell you.

How a Wayne deck job goes

  1. Free estimate

    We measure, look at what's there now, and check the frame and footings.

  2. Written estimate

    Boards, railings, framing and footings, each on paper, so you can see where the money goes.

  3. Permits

    We draw the site plan with setbacks, start with the grading permit if the deck adds hard surface, then verify requirements and handle permit filing where municipality rules allow, or guide you through local filing before work begins.

  4. The build

    Footings go below the frost line at the depth your township sets, the frame goes up to code in treated lumber, and then the boards, stairs and railings.

  • martin smithCheltenham, Pennsylvania

    I live in Cheltenham PA, and Dynasty Construction & Roofing recently installed my new roof. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with them! From start to finish, Jack keep me update with the pictures from the drone view and the entire team was professional, efficient, and completely transparent throughout the whole process. They took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered all of my questions, and made sure I knew exactly what to expect every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend Dynasty Construction & Roofing to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and reasonably priced roofing company. I couldn't be happier with the entire experience!

    Replacing a roof isn't something you do everyday. But in doing so you want to make sure you have someone knowledgeable, trustworthy, and efficient. When I met Rich and Jack from Dynasty Construction & Rofing they made me feel comfortable immediately. I knew they knew their stuff and they handled everything for me. I didn't have time to worry or doubt because their confidence and professionalism surpassed all my expectations. Jack walked me through everything step by step and answered any questions or concerns patiently. I definitely recommend them because they definitely have your best interest in mind.

  • Smokey IGoogle review

    I recently hired Dynasty Construction & Roofing to take care of some issues with my roof, including replacing missing shingles and recapping my chimney, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the start, they were responsive, professional, and easy to work with. They clearly explained the scope of work, provided a fair estimate, and showed up on time ready to get the job done. The quality of their workmanship really stood out and everything was completed with attention to detail, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. The new shingles blend in perfectly with the existing roof, and the chimney recap was done cleanly and securely. They also made sure to clean up thoroughly after the job, which I really appreciated.

Price

What a new deck costs in Wayne

We don't price decks over the phone. Composite costs more up front than wood, and a deck up on posts costs more than one near the ground. What moves the number is the size, the height, the boards you pick, the railings and stairs, and whether the frame underneath can stay.

Composite costs more on day one and a lot less every summer after. Wood costs less to build and needs sealing every couple of years. We'll price both if you want to compare.

Questions about decks in Wayne

Do I need a permit for a deck in Wayne?

In Radnor, yes. A wood deck is on the permit list, a deck that adds hard surface needs a grading permit from the township engineer first, and the site plan has to show setbacks from the property lines.

Is my Wayne house in Radnor?

Most of Wayne is Radnor Township in Delaware County, but parts are Tredyffrin in Chester County or Upper Merion in Montgomery County. Each has its own permit office. Give us the address and we'll check.

How deep do deck footings go?

Below the frost line, at the depth your township's code sets. A footing that sits above it moves every winter, and the deck moves with it.

Trex or TimberTech, which is better?

Both make good composite boards. The difference is mostly the color range, the board profiles and the price of the line you choose. We go through the options with you at the estimate.

Should I repair my deck or replace it?

Look underneath before you decide. If the frame and footings are sound, new boards and railings usually do the job for a lot less than a new deck. If the frame is rotten, new boards on top won't fix it.
