Kansas City Composite & Wood Deck & Porch Builder

Transforming Outdoor Spaces in Kansas City for Over 25 Years

Deck Builders in Kansas City

Kansas City homeowners often call us after running into the same frustrations at the start of a deck project.

Estimates feel vague. Timelines shift. Crews change. Design details get missed once work begins. Communication slows, and no one seems clearly responsible for decisions or fixes.

What should feel straightforward quickly becomes stressful to manage.

At DW Elite Decks, we built our process around those exact concerns for Kansas City homeowners. We handle planning, scheduling, and oversight from start to finish so nothing gets missed and accountability stays clear. Our goal is to keep the scope defined, the work organized, and the finished deck aligned with what was promised from day one.

Our Services

We design and build outdoor living spaces that fit your home and how you actually use it. As a custom deck builder, DW Decks provides complete outdoor construction services for Kansas City homeowners.

Composite Deck Construction

Composite decks are built for durability and low maintenance. This option works well for homeowners who want a consistent appearance, resistance to moisture, and long-term performance with minimal upkeep.

Wood Deck Construction

Wood decks offer a traditional look and natural character. We build wood decks with proper structure and spacing to support strength, longevity, and everyday use.

Covered Decks

Covered decks add shade and weather protection. This option allows outdoor use during more of the year while protecting the deck surface below.

Pergolas

Pergolas define outdoor spaces without fully enclosing them. They add structure, visual interest, and partial shade while keeping the area open and inviting.

Screened Porches

Screened porches improve comfort by reducing insects while allowing airflow. These spaces extend seasonal use and create a protected area for relaxing or entertaining.

Stamped Concrete Patios

Stamped concrete patios provide a durable surface that integrates well with deck layouts. Patterns and textures are selected to complement the surrounding outdoor space.

Every project is planned individually. Materials, layout, and structural details are selected based on your home, your yard, and long-term performance.

Our Deck Building Process

A well-built deck starts with a structured process from an experienced deck builder.

Step 1. Consultation and Site Review
We review your property, discuss goals, and evaluate layout options. Material choices and use of space are addressed early.

Step 2. Design and Planning
Before construction begins, the scope, materials, and layout are clearly defined. This keeps the project on track and minimizes changes later.

Step 3. Construction
Work follows the approved plan with consistent crews and clear communication during the build.

Step 4. Final Walkthrough
The completed project is reviewed with you. Details are addressed before closeout.

This approach keeps timelines predictable and results consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much would a 20x20 deck cost to build?

A 20 ft × 20 ft composite deck (400 sq ft) typically costs between $30,000 and $40,000, depending on design complexity, materials, and labor factors. Contact us for a deck quote.

2. Is it cheaper to build or buy a deck?

It’s usually cheaper to build a deck yourself if you have the right skills and tools. However, hiring professional deck builders ensures the work meets local building codes and permit requirements, providing better safety and long-term durability.

3. What is the best time of year to build a deck?
Spring and fall offer the best conditions. Moderate temperatures allow longer workdays and reduce material issues like warping or expansion.
4. Does a deck increase your home value?
Yes. A deck typically returns about 76% of its cost at resale, which ranks among the highest returns for home improvements.
5. What decking material lasts the longest?
Composite decking lasts the longest. It resists rot, insects, and moisture while requiring far less maintenance than wood or metal options.
