Outdoor Living WORKs By JD
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to help you understand our process, services, and commitment before starting your WORKs project.
For decks, we often recommend high-quality composite decking (like Trex® or AZEK®) for its incredible durability, low maintenance, and resistance to rot and insects. For patios, natural stone and high-quality pavers offer timeless beauty and longevity. We guide you through the pros and cons of each option based on your home’s style and your budget.
We can build throughout the year, but the ideal seasons are typically spring, summer, and fall. The most important step is the planning, which can be done at any time. By finalizing your design in the winter, we can often schedule your project to begin as soon as the weather allows in the spring.
Most new decks and some larger patios do require a building permit to ensure they meet local safety and zoning codes. As part of our comprehensive service, we handle the entire permitting process for you, from submitting plans to scheduling inspections.
