Custom Deck Projects
29 photosEnclosed Porch in Greystone Hoover
Greystone
An existing stamped-concrete patio on this single-story white brick home in the Greystone neighborhood of Hoover served as the foundation for a new enclosed porch addition. Structural wooden framing was erected directly over the patterned concrete surface, tying the new hip roof structure directly into the home's existing roofline. Large rough-openings were framed into the walls to accommodate future window installations. After sheathing the exterior in protective house wrap, a siding installation was completed to finish the outer walls. Additionally, a roof replacement utilized matching gray architectural shingles to seamlessly blend the new addition with the rest of the residence.

Smith Lake
This dark-gray, log-sided home at Smith Lake in Jasper was updated with a complete roof replacement and a new custom deck. The project featured the installation of gray metal roofing panels across the main home and the new porch roof. The elevated deck was constructed with a covered gable roof featuring an exposed wood truss system and a natural pine tongue-and-groove ceiling. Cable railings with wood top rails were installed around the perimeter of the deck to preserve the views of the surrounding trees. Cedar support beams and dark gray painted vertical columns securely anchored the timber structure.

Helena
A backyard access update in Helena's Riverwoods neighborhood replaced old staircases with newly constructed pressure-treated wood stairs. The project connected the existing dark-painted elevated deck safely to the concrete patio below. Thick southern yellow pine treads were installed over robust vertical stringers to provide long-term structural support. Handrails with matching square wooden balusters were secured on both sides of the run to ensure secure passage. This addition showcases how updates to custom decks can restore safe, functional transitions to steep backyard slopes.

Small Deck (10' x 12')
$3,500 – $6,500
Simple ground-level platform deck, perfect for townhomes or compact yards.

Key Factors That Influence Deck Construction Costs
Material Grade
Treated wood has lower upfront costs, while Trex® composite has zero painting costs, saving thousands in upkeep.
Deck Height & Soil
Elevated decks require larger structural posts, bracing, concrete footings, and structural building permits.
Railing Selection
Standard wood railings are cost-effective; powder-coated aluminum, cable railings, or glass panels increase cost.
Lighting & Custom Cuts
Low-voltage post cap lighting, curved board styles, custom wrap-around steps, and built-in benches add to the complexity.
