Engaging Articles About Decks, Porches, & Other Outdoor Living Areas

Our blog contains helpful information about the deck industry. We make every effort to update it as frequently as possible. In addition, writers make an effort to keep the topics local, following the Kansas City market trends. Weather, suppliers, and building products are more common topics we discuss.

The Kansas City deck industry constantly evolves. As a result, some of our research will reach out across the country, maybe even worldwide. That’s because we try to stay in tune with the latest building trends, codes, and products. However, please keep in mind that different regions may vary significantly in construction methods, IRC code adaptation, and types of building products.

"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!"

"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."

"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.

"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."

— Weston W.
