DECKS
Azek (plastic PVC)
- The minimum Deck size we build is 120 sq. ft.
- Cortex Screws and Plugs with Azek Hidden fastening system: Included in Decking Square Footage Pricing
- Herringbone decking
- Angled decking
Our Azek deck includes a pressure treated frame built as described below:
- 2×8 floor joints 12” on center
- Double 2×10 beams carriage bolted to 6×6 post supports
- An additional beam also is installed 2′ in up against the house wall for added support of the ledger.
- Front and back of the beams can be wrapped in plastic.
- 6×6 Support beams can be wrapped in vinyl sleeves.
- 16” wide x 36” deep or 16” wide x 32” deep concrete footings.
Our railing options include:
- Our custom made SOLID plastic railings for our Old World and New England style rail with standard rail post caps
- Our wider and beefier 5×5” rail post offered in several dark colors with a more detailed intricate post cap and trim ring.
Steps include:
- Step railing
- Code required graspable handrail on one side of the step rail
If you have any more than 6 or 7 steps you should definitely break the run up with a 4×4 landing midway as the plastic tends to be a bit more flimsy than the old school old wood deck railings. So cutting a long set of steps up with a landing helps tremendously. So if you have a higher deck and want a set of steps don’t forget to figure in for the landing.
TEAR DOWN AND REMOVAL
One other thing you may need done is to tear down and remove your old deck (dumpster included).
EXTRAS
- To block those little critters from nesting under your deck, a standard cross buck lattice with access door can be installed. Additional types and styles are available at an additional cost.
- Make a more modern look by simply adding aluminum deckorator balusters (avail. in round or square and in white, black or bronze ) in place of the solid plastic balusters (Included in Decking Square Footage Pricing, including the designer connectors).
- Weed barrier and drainage stones are advised for decks low to the ground in wet areas. This helps with moisture, looks very nice, and clean under deck. There are a variety of stone and colors to choose from.
- We also offer Picture Frame accent decking around perimeter.
- Lattice can be installed including frame/trim.
- Deck Lighting has become popular for adding a feeling of warmth and coziness in those summer eves. We offer many options for deck lighting:
- Under railing lights
- Side mount rail post lights
- Post cap lights
- and more
LIGHTING
Lighting includes the wiring, timer/transformer, materials and labor. They add such a nice touch. But keep in mind, we are not using the prefabbed 8′ or 10′ rail sections as other deck builders do, With us, you will have a rail post every 4-5′ and our railings are solid. We build them for quality and strength using solid plastic not hollow so we use more posts than the average deck builder in our railings so please figure that in, when figuring out how many lights you may need/want. All is done perfectly symmetrical with whatever your railing sections measure.
Hopefully that pretty much covers what it may end up costing you for a new deck depending which features you would really like to have. And some you can add on at a later time! But please feel free to call or email and just ask anytime!
SCREEN PORCHES
Our beautiful, unique and cozy screen porches are one of a kind! This includes code required frame, beams, footings, 12” on center framing, Azek Harvest, Terra, Arbor, and Vintage collection decking installed with charcoal fiberglass screening under decking over joists so bugs can’t squeeze up through cracks., White vinyl wall posts, Charcoal fiberglass screening, Each section is done individually so it is extremely easy to replace a tear.

3. MATERIALS…THAT LAST A LIFETIME!
Many deck builders push materials that benefit them that install easily and are purchased at cheaper costs, which mean more profit for the builder. Get Decked is old school and pretty stubborn. For our Low Maintenance Decks, we will only use Azek PVC decking! We’ve done decades of research, trial and error over all of these years and quite frankly only one product has passed the test of time for us, Azek. There are plenty of products out there and we’ve tried and used them all. But a lot of them leave you disappointed in the long run and cost way more than others. When you build with Get Decked, you combine a professional journeyman carpenter’s expertise with a lifetime quality product backed by an outstanding warranty. In the end, that combination gives you a Deck that appreciates in value each year!
