Our Services

Deck Construction

From ground-level platforms to elevated multi-level designs, we build decks that last. Shawnee homes often sit on spacious lots, giving room for both modest patios and grand entertaining spaces. We use pressure-treated lumber rated for Oklahoma weather and ensure handrails, stairs, and clearances meet city code.

Neighborhoods like Belmont Park and Northridge feature older ranch-style homes where deck additions feel natural. We design new decks to complement your existing siding and roofline.

Yes, any deck over 30 inches above grade requires a City of Shawnee building permit. We handle the application, plans, and inspection coordination for you.

What is the setback requirement for decks on my lot?

Shawnee zoning requires setbacks from property lines; decks can encroach 6 feet into the rear yard. We review your specific lot and confirm all setback rules during the site visit.

How deep should footings be for a deck in Oklahoma?

Footings must be set below frost line, typically 36–42 inches in Oklahoma. Proper depth prevents settling and freezing damage over multiple winters.
