Local Expertise
Decks Built For Lee’s Summit Yards
The deck out there now probably came with the house, which puts it past twenty years old. Cupped boards, a rail with some give in it, and a shape that had more to do with what was quick to frame in 1999 than with how anyone has used the yard since.
What we would rather talk through first is where the deck sits and what reaches it. Out toward the lakes there is nothing between the back of a house and the weather, so which way the boards run, where water leaves them and how much afternoon lands on the west corner all matter more here than any sample board does. We settle that, then draw it, file it and carry it through the inspections.
The Product
Choosing Between Composite And Lumber
Both materials build a good deck. The right answer depends on how much upkeep you want to sign up for and how long you plan to be in the house.
- Deckorators composite: capped, fade and stain resistant, effectively no maintenance
- Pressure-treated lumber: traditional look, lower initial cost, periodic sealing
- Matching rail systems, lighting and stair details either way
Lee’s Summit Specifics
Why These Deck Features Matter In Lee’s Summit
Footings in clay
Soil that swells and shrinks is hard on anything set shallow, which is why footing depth is not a place to economize here. We dig to what the ground actually needs, and it is one of the reasons a deck that was cheap to build ends up moving.
Two doors onto one deck
These plans often open onto the back yard twice, from the kitchen and from the great room. Which door leads where decides the shape of the whole deck: where the table goes, where the grill lives, and whether people walk through the middle of dinner.
The neighborhood gets a say
Most subdivisions here review deck plans, materials and sometimes the rail before anything is built, on top of the city permit. We put the package together for both, and we know what a committee here wants to see attached to it.

Testimonials
What Homeowners Say
My experience with Shinnova was great. I want to thank Jeremy Sweatman for convencing me to get it done. My house looks new again and it is much warmer inside. The workers were very professional. They cleaned up after themselves every night before they left. Thank you very much.
We are extremely impressed with the professionalism of everyone we worked with Jeremy the bomb in explaining sale of windows and the process, Butch for guiding the installation and Dan for all the follow up on progress with delivery. Would recommend hands down we are actually on our second order. The Murphys

Questions
Lee’s Summit Decks FAQ
How long does a deck build take?
Most residential decks take one to two weeks depending on size, height and rail system. Footings and inspections set the schedule more than the carpentry does.
Is composite worth the extra cost over lumber?
If you plan to stay more than a few years, usually yes: you stop paying for sealing and board replacement. If the budget is tight or the deck is small, treated lumber built well is still a good deck.
Can we reuse the existing footings?
Rarely, and not for anything you can see. A buried footing comes with no record: nobody knows what it was poured on, how it was formed or what it has been carrying for twenty years. We are not putting a new deck and a warranty on top of somebody else’s unknowns, so they come out and we start clean.
Will a new deck add value when we sell?
Some, and it is not the reason to build one. A deck that suits the house and the way you live in it is worth the money now. A deck built purely to impress a buyer in six years usually reads that way to the buyer.
