What can I expect from a deck or porch installation from Ayars?
Quality designs

Whether you’re in need of a platform deck for your level lot or a raised or multilevel deck for your graded lot, we have the solution. For inspiration, check out our handy guide to deck design.
Quality materials
Many new products have been developed for the exterior of the home, but few have been as widely adopted as plastic decking products. Used heavily down the shore, they have long since become the staple for decking. These low-maintenance materials come in a wide array of colors and require no painting whatsoever, offering instant appeal upon installation.
Quality craftsmanship
The best decks and porches look like they belong — they’re natural extensions of the home. Whether you are looking to replace your deck or porch or starting fresh, you can rest assured Ayars’ experienced craftsmen will build it sturdily, beautifully, and compatibly with existing structures and surroundings.
Decks & Porches FAQs
Pressure-treated wood decks are typically less expensive by $10-15 per square foot. The look of the deck is not as refined as composite decks with vinyl or metal railings, but if utility is your primary concern, this is still a viable option.
Of course! For steeper grades, Ayars can construct a beautiful raised deck; for gradual slopes, you might invest in a multi-level deck that follows the lay of your land. Check our blog post on deck design for a fuller picture of what’s possible.
In many instances, we review an existing structure only to find that there are several failure points:
- The deck was not permitted and therefore not built to code or inspected.
- The attachment to the house is incorrect and creates catastrophic failure leading to injury or death.
- Incorrect footings (depth, circumference, attachment, or lack thereof)
- Undersized or wrong framing members used.
- Stairs and handrails are not up to code.
When any or all of the points of concern are identified, it is almost always recommended that we rebuild the entire structure.
Yes, anytime a structure is being built or modified, a building inspection is required to make sure that it meets all local and state codes. Ayars coordinates the submission, scheduling, and every aspect of the inspection process.
