Standard Deck Design Elements

Although every Joshua Tree Deck is custom designed to suit your needs, there are certain elements that are essential to every deck, and we include them in every estimate:

No-Maintenance Decking.
A standard element of every Joshua Tree Deck is maintenance-free decking that we are willing to guarantee for a lifetime. No paint. No stain. Ever.

Joist Hangers & Hurricane Ties.
A Joshua Tree Deck comes with a lifetime warranty, so we build them to last. Every deck is built with construction-grade joist hangers and hurricane ties. We guarantee your deck will never sag or sway, even in the toughest weather conditions.

Mushroom Head Deck Screws.
Regular screws create a dimple in the decking that we feel is unnecessary and unsightly. Mushroom head screws are able to auto-trim the excess shavings that create these dimples. In addition, they are dual threaded, to clamp your decking tight to the joists and eliminate squeaks and soft spots.

Below Frost Footings
Even the smallest deck will heave and crack if its footings are not dug below the frost line. To ensure this will never happen, we dig our footings 36 inches below the surface and anchor the posts directly into the concrete with Simpson Connectors, which eliminates post rot and ensures maximum structural integrity.
