Decks Built For Shawnee Yards
The deck out back is usually attached to whatever part of the house was built last, and that is the first thing we look at. A ledger bolted to a rim joist that may or may not have been flashed, posts on pads sitting at grade, and boards gone soft where the gutter has been overflowing onto them for years.
A rebuild is the chance to get the deck the house never had planned for it. New footings, new framing, an honest decision about whether to fasten to the house or free-stand it, and a size that follows how you use the yard rather than the original drawing. Composite or wood, depending on what you want to spend your Saturdays doing.
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
Shawnee Specifics
Why These Deck Features Matter In Shawnee
Fastening into an addition
An addition’s rim joist is not always something a ledger should be bolted to, and that is worth knowing before a deck is standing on it. Where the structure is questionable we free-stand the frame, which makes a better deck rather than a compromise.
Shade, sap and what falls on it
The mature trees on these streets are the reason the deck is pleasant in July and the reason it needs attention. Board choice and spacing decide how much of your summer goes into cleaning it, so we talk that through before anyone picks a color.
The wall behind the old deck
Taking a deck off a Shawnee house usually reveals the wall it has been hiding, and sometimes that wall needs work before anything new goes back on. We look at it with you and price it plainly instead of building over 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
Shawnee 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.
Does Shawnee require a permit and inspection for a deck?
Yes. Decks are permitted and inspected, footings included. We prepare the drawings, file with the City of Shawnee and schedule both the footing inspection and the final.
Should the new deck go where the old one was?
Not always. The original was usually placed wherever the door landed, which is not necessarily where the shade, the view or the grill want to be. We will lay out both options on the estimate so you can see the difference before anything is dug.
