Enjoy the Outdoors with Durability and Style in Kansas City

Composite Decks - DW Elite Decks

At DW Decks, we’ve seen a rising demand for composite decks among Kansas City homeowners. These decks offer a modern solution to traditional wood, combining the beauty of natural wood grain with the durability of advanced materials. With Kansas City’s ever-changing weather, composite decking is the ideal choice for a long-lasting, low-maintenance outdoor living space.

Composite decks are built to endure harsh elements while maintaining their vibrant appearance, making them the perfect addition to any home.

We’re Committed to Craftsmanship and Customer Experience

Composite decks have become a favorite among Kansas City residents due to their incredible durability and versatility. Whether you’re updating an existing structure or building a deck from scratch, composite decking ensures your investment will stand the test of time with minimal upkeep.

These decks resist rot, fading, and warping, making them a cost-effective solution over time. More homeowners are choosing composite decking not just for its practicality but also for its ability to enhance the aesthetic appeal and value of their homes.

Practical Designs Tailored to Your Lifestyle

At DW Decks, we understand that every home and homeowner is unique. That’s why we offer custom designs tailored to fit your space, style, and needs. Whether you’re looking for a multi-level deck, built-in seating, or integrated lighting, our team works closely with you to bring your vision to life.

We also incorporate thoughtful features like staircases, railings, and under-deck storage options to maximize your deck’s functionality while ensuring it blends seamlessly with your home’s architecture.

The Benefits of Composite Decks

Composite decks are more than just a beautiful addition to your home—they’re a smart investment. Here are the key benefits:

Low Maintenance: Say goodbye to sanding, staining, and sealing. Composite decks only require occasional cleaning to stay looking like new.
Weather Resistance: With superior resistance to moisture, rot, and fading, composite decks hold up against Kansas City’s fluctuating climate.
Eco-Friendly Materials: Many composite decking products are made from recycled materials, making them an environmentally responsible choice.
Custom Designs: Tailored to your specific preferences, composite decks enhance both the functionality and aesthetic of your outdoor space.
Long-Lasting Value: While the upfront cost may be higher than traditional wood, composite decks save money in the long run by reducing maintenance and replacement expenses.

Ready to Transform Your Outdoor Space?

DW Decks is here to help you create a stunning, durable, and functional outdoor living area with a composite deck. Whether you’re looking for a low-maintenance solution or a stylish retreat for entertaining, our team has the expertise to make it happen.

Dan and his team were amazing. They made it so easy to get our new screened in deck and our concrete driveway and patio replaced. They handled all the permits and planning with the city. We were always kept up to date with scheduling and there were no surprises. Dan answered all our questions through out the process and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. My only complaint is we didn’t do it sooner. I can’t recommend Dan and his crew enough.

Exceptional Service and Craftsmanship from DW Elite Decks

After researching several contractors for my deck replacement project, I am thoroughly impressed with the outstanding service and results delivered by DW Elite Decks. From the initial consultation through project completion, owner Dan demonstrated exceptional professionalism and attention to detail that set his company apart from other contractors.

During the preliminary phase, Dan distinguished himself through his comprehensive approach to project planning. While other companies provided basic assessments, Dan took the time to thoroughly understand my vision and requirements. His detailed bid reflected every aspect of our discussions, providing clarity and confidence in the project scope. The company's showroom proved invaluable in the decision-making process, allowing me to examine material options firsthand. Dan's expertise in material selection and ability to provide visual representations of the finished product helped ensure my complete satisfaction with the final design.

The construction phase exemplified DW Elite Decks' commitment to excellence. The crew demonstrated remarkable professionalism and skill throughout both the demolition and construction processes. Their superior workmanship is evident in every aspect of the completed deck, surpassing the quality I've experienced with other home improvement projects. The team maintained an immaculate job site, cleaning and organizing the area at the end of each workday.

Communication remained consistently strong throughout the project. Dan proactively provided updates on progress and timelines, ensuring I was well-informed at every stage. This level of engagement and transparency significantly enhanced my confidence in the project management.

Based on my exceptional experience with DW Elite Decks, I wholeheartedly recommend their services to family, friends, and neighbors. The company's combination of detailed planning, expert craftsmanship, and professional project management delivers outstanding value and results.

Dan provided a detailed, thorough plan and worked with us through questions and options so that we knew exactly what the end result would be. His attention to detail and commitment to quality is why we decided to go with DW. They did not disappoint. His crew, lead by Tim, executed the plan with extremely quality workmanship paying attention to details and building a deck that was not only beautiful, but extremely solid in every aspect. From start to finish DW was fantastic to work with. Thanks for helping make our dread project a reality!!

DW Elite exceeded our expectations! Dan responded quickly when we first reached out to contractors to bid removing our worn out deck and building a screened composite deck in its place. From start to finish, the process was smooth. Dan showed us finish options in his showroom, provided a detailed and fair bid, helped connect us with hot tub supplier, and his team got started on the project quickly. He and his team took care of all permits and worked with ancillary contractors for electrical and hot tub installation. Communication throughout project was great. Build quality is wonderful. Crew was friendly, hardworking, and respectful of our property. We LOVE our new space! We know we will enjoy it for many years to come!

Dan and his team did an absolutely incredible job with removing and replacing our deck. The finished product exceeded expectations. Dan and his crew demonstrated all the qualities you hope to find when you invest in work on your home: they are trustworthy, reliable, excellent communicators, skilled and knowledgeable, committed to high quality, and very respectful of us as customers. The job was done for precisely what we were quoted and within the estimated time frame. Dan made sure the correct permits and sign-offs were secured along the way. We were honestly nervous going in to a big home project like this, but Dan guided us through from start to finish, and we just couldn’t be more pleased. I recommend DW Elite Decks without hesitation for your project needs.

Valerie Wilson

We were extremely pleased with the work that Dan and his group did for us. They stabilized and leveled our two-story deck, installing several concrete footings and bolting the deck to our house. They listened to our concerns and were very clear in explaining what and why they were making certain recommendations. It was obvious they were knowledgeable and experienced. All the workmen were very polite, efficient, on-time, and did a good job of cleaning up after they finished the work. They were also careful with the plants and landscaping in the area. The pricing was in-line with the other three bids we obtained. We would highly recommended DW Elite Decks!

I asked for them to check out my deck & see if I needed any repairs to be safe( it’s a high deck) Since it wasn’t a new deck job, they told me they wouldn’t even consider my request. Good luck to people who have them do a new deck & need repairs someday !

Jessie C

1727286135

Highly recommend DW Elite Decks! Dan and his team were wonderful to work with. The deck looks fantastic and my family has really enjoyed spending time together on it. Dan was excellent at keeping open communication before and during the project. This made the whole process much easier and less stressful! During a few minor project bumps, Dan helped resolved the issues as quickly as possible and again was excellent at communication. The whole thing turned out great! The crew were professional, worked hard, showed up when expected and did quality work! We couldn't be happier with the finished product and process.

Daniel and his crew were very professional and we would recommend them to others looking to have their deck power washed, stained, railings replaced and new screens put in place as we did.

Matt Brown

1725150856

DW decks were great to work with. The deck looks fantastic. The best part was how good Dan was at communicating before and during the project. He always let me know what was going on with the project. When the demo crew was going to be there to remove the old deck., he let me know days beforehand. Then he kept it up throughout the entire project. I always felt like I knew what was happening during the project and what to expect next. There weren't any surprises.

Matthew Kalush

We tried to get DW Elite Decks to build our new deck last year but unfortunately they were booked up. We looked at several other companies, but decided to wait and try them again this year. It was well worth the wait!

Dan and his crew were professional, meticulous and very courteous and we couldn’t be more pleased with our new deck! Their attention to detail is second to none.

If you’re looking for a new deck, these are the guys you want to build it for you!

Janet Hutchings

1722282055

This is the 2nd time we have used DW Elite Decks and we weren’t disappointed. Amazing craftsmanship, quality construction and the price point is competitive with other companies. The construction workers are friendly, polite and professional. They removed all the furniture from our deck before they started and put it all back after they finished. We would recommend DW Elite Decks to anyone who wants to some flair to their house.

Now in 2024 it’s our 3rd time using DW Elite Decks ….. AMAZING!!

Allison Rose

Dan is meticulous in his work and follow up! He stands by his work! I'm so happy I was able to contract him to replace my home's original 20 year old deck. His expertise is unmatched and is an owner operator.

D Blu

We absolutely LOVE our screened in porch and wish we would’ve done it years ago! Dan and his team were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. Dan is honest and fair, and we appreciated all the thoughtful advice he provided. The crew was reliable and efficient, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our friends are all envious of our beautiful new space, and we would highlight recommend DW Elite Decks to anyone!

The deck project started on time and was finished on time. The project manager communicated throughout the whole project. The deck builders were very neat. They did not leave any trash or deck materials in the yard. The craftmanship is outstanding. I would highly recommend Elite Decks.

Rachel Haynes

1718993080

DW Elite did an amazing job. When we moved into our house we knew our deck was in need of a serious overhaul. After calling around and talking to others who would barely answer questions, we found Dan from DW Elite. He was so responsive and really asked questions to understand our needs and what we were looking for. The service from start to finish was great! The crew was professional and did quality work. I can’t wait to spend time outside enjoying our new deck. I would highly recommend DW Elite and use them again in the future.

Our experience with DW Elite Decks was above and beyond amazing. Dan is very easy to work with. He went over all of our options and answered any questions we had. During the whole process he always responded to our calls and emails. The crew that works for the company knows what they are doing. They arrived on time and when they left for the day they cleaned up. We are so happy with our deck and thankful to God that we found this company.

Karen Long

I am very pleased with Dan and DW Elite Decks. A friend recommended him and after seeing her finished deck, I decided to also contract him to replace my deck. My goal was to have a maintenance-free deck. Dan was very good about making suggestions to help me see the possibilities. His recommendations turned out better than I expected. The on-site team, led by Tim, did a super job. They were always polite, kept working even through some nasty cold weather and completed the job, including all the cleanup, well within the time they said it would be finished. Dan was very professional, easy to work with, and always available when I had questions. Overall, DW Elite Decks did a fantastic job and I would recommend them to anyone.

Elizabeth Oldroyd

1713295286

Great quality workmanship and transparent pricing. I contacted DW Elite decks to do some spindle repairs and restain a 5-year old deck that was never stained properly. (First stain job was by a house painter that claimed he did stain work, the second by a large deck-stain franchise. Neither job was done well nor lasted as long as it should.) The quality of the materials used and the workmanship from the carpenters for the repairs as well as the powerwash and staining was excellent. Dan offered us some different options for railing down the road and was very fair on pricing. Wouldn't hesitate to use them if I were to build new or if I needed more repairs. Will use again when we need to stain again.

Scott Bird

Working with DW Elite has been hands down the best experience I've ever had working with contractors/remodeling/builders etc. I cannot speak highly enough of Dan Milford and his team. Just some examples:

-Every decision and document has been clear and accurate
-His guys show up on time, great at keeping us informed, fast and talented at their work
-Dan holds his vendor and subcontractors accountable to very high standards
-There were never any delays waiting for material or inspections. As a project manager myself, I was very impressed!
-The very few minor problems have been resolved extremely quickly. Dan spots things before I do and fixes them before I even know they're an issue.
-Last, but most important, the porch is BEAUTIFUL!

Weston White

1710569040

Dan and his crew did an amazing job, we couldn’t be more satisfied with our decision to go with him. During the design process there was never any pressure to make higher priced selections, Dan only described the differences in materials, finishes and pro/cons. He listened to what we wanted and presented options for us to choose from. His crew has an incredible attention to detail, I can honestly say there is no imperfection. The job site was kept clean, everyday when they left it was as if they hadn’t been there. Waiting for warmer weather to paint is the only thing which remains.

Edit: Posted new photos of the deck totally finished now that the weather was nice enough to paint, stain the posts and install the stone.

Joe Lopez

1710526601

Dan was great to work with. Answered all questions and concerns quickly and efficiently. Crew was always hard at work and kept their work area picked up when done for the day. Great experience. Deck looks great and the wife is happy.

Belated review. Dw elite put in new deck with composite decking in 2018.. Competitive price and reasonable schedule. 6 years later looks great with no sign of wear or aging.

After interviewing 7 companies for our project, we hired DW Elite for our project and are thrilled with our choice. Dan was willing to take on our request for a Fortress steel frame deck with gable roof and that would support an outdoor kitchen. We loved that DW Elite employees completed the entire deck portion and gable roof without subcontractors. The team was respectful, neat and did perfect work with great attention to detail. They were meticulous carpenters, and worked every day that weather permitted. The design is seamlessly integrated with the existing house. Dan was responsive, patient with our questions, honest, and corrected anything we wanted changed. We feel confident that their work is of the highest quality and that no shortcuts were taken. DW did not perform the concrete or kitchen portion, but worked well with the landscape company we hired. Highly recommend and would hire again (though we probably won’t have to as this deck will last forever!)

DW Elite Decks built our screened-in covered deck in October 2023. I am delighted to say we made the right decision in choosing DW to do the work!

In working with Dan and the team there were no unwanted surprises. Everything was precisely as described. Dan kept us informed step by step and any questions were answered quickly. Dan has a wealth of knowledge and was able to assist us in making design choices. Tim and his build team are craftsmen. Their attention to detail is phenomenal.

If you want a worry-free job, look no further.

Our new deck has exceeded our expectations, and we currently enjoy the outdoor space. We went from a deck that we never used to one that we use every day. We enjoyed working with Dan on planning and designing our new deck. He listened to our ideas while offering suggestions. Tim supervised his team of very knowledgably and professional workers. The crew was reliable, meticulously clean, and wasted very little material. They arrived when they said they would, accomplished the job in a very timely manner, were very responsive to all questions, and again they were very professional. We highly recommend DW Elite Decks for your decking needs. We can’t say enough good things!!
Here is a picture of the deck before and after.

I highly recommend Dan and team at DW Elite Decks. This summer, we had our existing deck replaced with composite decking. The old deck was removed including footings, new footings poured, and a new structure was installed in a week, which was very quick for the size of our deck. Dan made sure we were satisfied with the purchase and worked with us to make sure our needs were being met. His crew was on-time each day, cleaned up the work site at the end of each day, and stayed on time and on budget. We're thrilled with our deck and look forward to spending time over the next years on it. Thanks DW!

Rachel Burghart

1696300041

My husband and I had our relatively large deck completed by DW Elite Decks this past summer. Not only do we love the finished product, but we were very pleased with the entire process of completing this project. Dan was informative and responsive in all of the planning ahead of time and during the project. The crew was top-notch! They were on-time every day that the weather allowed and worked nearly non-stop all day. From tear down to finish, the project was completed faster than we thought, while still maintaining excellent quality. Thanks for our beautiful deck that we enjoy using nearly every day now!

Chad Leslie

Project ended up being a little more work than we thought and they got it all done timely. It was during a nasty heat wave and the guys worked so hard!! Whole process was great - Good communication, great price and quality of work. Deck looks great!!

Patricio Parada

We hired DW decks to extend our deck and their work was superb. Great communication through the process, quality work and pricing according to the results.

Jeff Tamblyn

1684512660

This company replaced for us an old, beat-up, poorly designed legacy deck with a beautiful screened-in porch. It was a very positive experience. Pricing was competitive and the materials have proven to be excellent. This business has a single crew that does most of the work. (Electrical, roofing and painting are done by contractors with whom they have long-term relationships.) They only make decks and porches, and they’ve been doing it for decades. I found their judgement and attention to detail to be impeccable, communication was dependable, and there were no surprises or wasted time. It is rare to find contractors who provide such satisfactory results.

Matt Corbin

1683311175

Dan and his team were really easy to work with on our composite deck project. Dan is extremely professional and kept us updated and informed from start to finish. The deck looks fantastic and we’ve already had several compliments from our neighbors. I would definitely recommend DW Elite Decks to friends and family. M.C.

Chris Van Oosbree

We needed a few boards replaced on our deck, a power washing and new staining. DW Elite Decks was able to complete all the work when they said they would. Our deck looks brand new and we’re glad to get more life out of it.
