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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
