Now I see what true worksmanship and quality really is — it’s not really the rush job, it’s the attention to detail. Even down to picking out the flooring for the deck, just making it two-tone and outlining the steps.
As of right now I can tell you, this is probably the best of the entire house. This is beyond our wildest imagination, we could not have really envisioned that it would turn out like this. It started with a dream of just expanding and repairing our deck, and we got a lot more.

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.
Such an excellent team. They are prompt, clean and do fabulous quality work. I could not be happier with them. I’ve already referred them to two of my friends who loved the work they did for me!
