Deck Building in Dardenne Prairie, Missouri

Dardenne Prairie homes and this kind of project

A new deck in Dardenne Prairie means working in late 1990s to 2010s subdivision homes, so on our first visit we look at the house rim where the ledger attaches, the slope of the yard and any easement along the back.

The housing stock here: late 1990s to 2010s two-stories, ranches and villas in planned subdivisions with HOAs.

Builder decks on newer homes are minimal platforms that owners replace with something properly sized.

Lots, exteriors and approvals in Dardenne Prairie

HOA architectural committees are active. Composite decks with aluminum rail, pergolas and patio extensions are the common requests. Common ground and trail easements behind many lots affect how far a structure can extend.

New subdivisions in Dardenne Prairie mean open lots, no shade and a small patio or deck from the builder. Owners are adding the outdoor space the builder left out: larger decks, roofed patios and privacy from the neighbors behind. HOA approval comes first.

What is included

Our Dardenne Prairie deck projects include design drawings, the building permit, HOA submittal documents, utility locates, footings, framing, flashing, decking, stairs, railings, low-voltage lighting if wanted, and haul-off of the old deck.

We take on new deck work across Dardenne Prairie, from BaratHaven to neighborhoods along Feise Road and Highway N and Bryan Road corridor.

What we watch for

When we remove old decks in Dardenne Prairie we routinely find ledgers nailed through the siding with no flashing, and rot in the house rim behind them. We repair the rim before the new ledger goes on and show you photos of what was there.

Dardenne Prairie properties tend to be well-graded lots that often back to common ground or trails, and that affects how we stage materials, where a framing crew and a finish carpenter park and how debris leaves the site.

What moves the price in Dardenne Prairie

We price deck building in Dardenne Prairie from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Railing type, which can rival the decking in cost: wood, aluminum, cable or glass.
• Shape, levels, built-in seating, lighting and under-deck drainage.
