The Deck Builder Indy Families Trust for Quality Craftsmanship

Most of the projects we build in the Indy area fall between $15,000 –$50,000.
Smaller, simpler decks start around $10,000–$15,000 while large multi‑level or “outdoor living room” builds with railings, lighting, and stairs can be $50,000+.

After a quick call and a few photos, we’ll give you a clear ballpark range before anyone comes to your home, so you can see if it fits your budget with zero pressure.

In simple terms: wood costs less upfront, composite costs less over time.

- Wood (pressure‑treated or cedar): lower initial price, needs staining/sealing every 12-24 months, typically lasts 15-20 years with good care.

Composite: higher upfront, no staining or sealing, resists warping and rot, and can last 25+ years with basic cleaning.

During your consultation, we’ll show you good / better / best options in both materials so you can see side‑by‑side how the look, maintenance, and price compare.

Our job is to make this simple:

1. Phone / virtual consult to talk through your ideas, budget, and timeline.

2. On‑site visit & measurements so we can design to your exact space.

3. Design & proposal with a clear scope, price, and options.

4. Permits & HOA approvals handled by our team.

5. Build phase where our crew completes the project and keeps your yard tidy.

6. Final walkthrough to make sure everything looks and functions exactly how you expected.

Most projects move from first call to completed deck in about 6-10 weeks, depending on design and permits.

In the Indy area, permits typically take about 1-4 weeks once plans are submitted. Some projects are faster, more complex designs can take a bit longer.

We handle all drawings, paperwork, and back‑and‑forth with the city/HOA for you, and we keep you updated so you’re never wondering where things stand. Once permits are approved, we schedule your start date and lock it in.
