Pleasant Hill, CA – Our Decking Contractors Discuss the Composite Deck Process

When you hire a company or a contractor to perform a task, you want to believe they know what they are doing, and for the most part, they will. But sometimes you try to hire someone, and they do not know what they are doing. But you don’t know they are doing a bad job because you don’t understand the task. This fear is why you need to equip yourself with the necessary information to make sure when you hire someone, you know they are doing a good job or simply doing what they are supposed to do. It is sometimes tedious to look over others you hired to do a job for you, but understanding the process prevents you from being left with a bad product. We at Metamorphosis Construction believe it’s essential to have transparency, so we hope to share the process with you.

Below we will look into the composite deck process, giving you the necessary information the next time you hire a contractor.

The composite deck process

Here are some steps in the composite deck process.

1. An employee will look at the property, ask general questions to get a sense of what you are looking for and the type of materials you want to use, and answer any questions about the process.
2. An assessment gets conducted to gather all the necessary data, such as square footage, and to understand the product needed for the job.
3. Once all the proper information and materials have found their way, the workers will arrive, begin constructing the deck, and lay out all the items they have in place. The first few days may seem like things are going slow, but this is to ensure all the necessary items are available so they could conduct the project without further delay.
4. First, the foundation of the deck will take place with a perimeter built and concrete pouring underneath the area where the wood will get placed. Beams will then get attached along the base of the foundation.
5. Next is the deck frame, including the rim joist and the upper deck’s perimeter. You want to attach the rim joist to the beams you connected to the outskirts of the foundation.
6. Finally, we will begin to add boards and fasten the joist. The board will run parallel to the house, and they will start from the house to the other end of the frame. Then as they are laying the boards down, they will fasten the joist.
7. The last step will then be the trimming of the decking boards.

You should expect to see this process when our workers come on-site. Specific steps will get repeated, but these are the steps our workers will follow when putting your composite deck in place. The process should take anywhere from one to three weeks, often depending on weather, equipment availability, and some material used in the building may be more delicate. Hence, it requires more time to install.
