Decks That Sit Low In Florissant
Back yards in Florissant are flat, which sounds simple and is not. A deck here sits low, close to damp ground, and the old one has usually been fastened to a brick wall by somebody who treated masonry like framing. Soft boards at the back edge and a ledger nobody has looked at in thirty years are what we tend to find.
Rebuilding is where that gets fixed properly. New footings below frost depth, a frame that either anchors into masonry correctly or stands on its own, and enough clearance underneath for air to move. Then we size the deck to how you actually use the yard, in composite or in wood, depending on how much upkeep you want.
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
Florissant Specifics
Why These Deck Features Matter In Florissant
Fastening to a brick house
A ledger bolted into brick veneer is not carrying anything safely. Where the masonry cannot take it, we free-stand the frame on its own posts, which is a better structure rather than a workaround.
Low decks on flat ground
With no grade to work with, a deck sits close to the soil and stays damp underneath. Clearance, drainage and the right framing material are the difference between twelve years and thirty.
Getting to the back yard
Lots here are narrow with a fence and a neighbor close on both sides. We plan where the material is stacked, where the saw sits and how the debris leaves before the first day, so the week is predictable for you and for next door.

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
Florissant 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 Florissant require a permit and inspection for a deck?
Yes. Decks are permitted and inspected, footings included. We prepare the drawings, file them with the City of Florissant and schedule the footing inspection and the final.
Can the new deck attach where the old one did?
Only if the wall will take it, and on a brick house that is a real question rather than a formality. We will show you what is behind the old ledger and tell you honestly whether we are anchoring into it or standing the new frame on its own.
