“This is a great company that has completed many projects at our home. They did a complete overhaul of our roof down to the plywood for a great price and the job was done on time. They also remodeled our kitchen and bathroom with great attention to detail and again the price was right. I recomend this company to anyone who's looking to have professional work done and still stay within your budget.

Here is just a few ways you can save a ton of money!

1. "Turnkey" price. This is the price 99.9% of all deck companies charge because they act as the

General Contractor by buying your materials and obtaining the Permit for you. You don't lift a finger in

this total service approach. We sell maybe 5%-10% of our decks with this "Turnkey" Service.

2. "Total Labor to Build Deck Completely + Materials" price. This is where you

(not the Deck Company) act as the General Contractor. You buy the materials (with our help) and you

obtain the Permit (with our help). And you save a bunch of money this way. How much? Typically

about 25% because, you see, 25% is a typical General Contractor profit. If you are the GC, you save the

GC's profit. You're doing his work, so you should save it. We do maybe 65% of our decks with this Service.

3. "Labor to Frame + Materials" price. This is where you act as the GC (like in #2 above), but you

also put a little sweat equity into your deck. We frame it (the hard part) ready for you to install the

decking and railings (the easy part). You save even more. How much? About 40% all together!

We do about 25% of our decks with this Service.

Whether you are building a new deck, replacing an old deck or interested in deck repair,

Bock Construction has the solution for you.

Pressure Treated Wood

Pressure treated wood is the most common wood decking material because it is cheapest and it last for

about 15 years. This economical wooden decking is typically made from pine and is easy to find at your

local lumber yard. The chemicals used to treat this wood makes it resistant to fungus, decay, rot and termites.

The wood can splinter if it is not maintained. It is recommended that stainless steel deck fasteners be used

because the chemicals used to treat the wood are highly corrosive. Because this treated wood contains such

toxic chemicals, contractors should use gloves and a mask when they are cutting and installing this material

and the remnants should never be burned. Pressure treated pine has a greenish tinge that goes to a

yellow-brown before weathering to gray. This decking can be painted or stained and sealed.

Cedar and Redwood Decking

Redwood and cedar decking are natural defenders against insects and rot. Sun fades untreated cedar and

redwood to a silver gray. To prevent the wood from fading the decking needs to be stained and sealed,

or just sealed with a sun blocking finish. This durable decking should last up to twenty years if it is

well cared for.

Mahogany and Ipé Decking

Mahogany and Ipé are expensive hardwoods that have a strong resistance to insects and rot. Untreated

these dark brown and amber to dark brown woods will also weather to gray. Sealing the wood is

recommended to preserve its color and natural beauty. These hardwoods are more difficult to install as

pre-drilling is required. These woods are graded according to their strength and appearance.

Composite Decking

Composite decking is comprised of plastic and wood fibers. Polyethylene plastic and wood fiber deck boards

are made up of half wood fibers, like sawdust, and half recycled polyethylene plastic. Polypropylene plastic

and wood fiber decking is composed of small particles of wood, almost like a flour and hard plastic. This

decking is low decking and slip resistant. Decks with composite decking can even be installed in a rounded

or curved pattern, which adds many design possibilities to a deck. Composite deck boards are generally

pressed with a pattern or a wood grain and come in a wide range of shades and colors.

There are a great number of manufactures of composite decking that have a number of lines to choose from.

These manufactures have made advances in their technology to minimize fading and molding.
