Harvester homes and this kind of project
Because Harvester is made up of 1970s to 1990s ranches and two-stories, the first thing we check for a composite deck here is joist spacing, ledger flashing and footing depth on any frame we might reuse.
The housing stock here: 1970s to 1990s ranches and two-stories in established subdivisions, with some newer infill.
Frames from the boom years are often at twenty-four-inch spacing and need added joists.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in Harvester
Mature trees and thirty-year-old decks go together. We replace many with composite and correct ledger flashing at the same time. Original wood siding and trim often need repair.
Builder decks in Harvester from these decades were minimal and are now at or past the end of their safe life. Replacement is a chance to correct ledger flashing, deepen footings and build something sized for how families use outdoor space today.
What is included
For Harvester composite decks we handle design, permit, frame construction or reinforcement, joist tape, hidden-fastener installation, picture framing, fascia, stairs, railing systems and optional low-voltage lighting.
We take on composite deck work across Harvester, from neighborhoods along Harvester Road and Caulks Hill Road to the Highway 94 and Jungermann Road area.
What we watch for
South and west exposures in Harvester get brutal afternoon sun. We steer those decks toward lighter colors and talk about shade structures at the same time.
Working on leafy, established subdivision lots, as we do in Harvester, we plan access for deck carpenters before the first delivery arrives.
Permits and approvals in Harvester
For a composite deck at a Harvester address, the paperwork goes to St. Charles County, because Harvester is unincorporated. Expect a permit and inspections when the frame, stairs or guards change.
Since this work shows from outside, also plan on subdivision trustees in some neighborhoods. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.
Schedule and getting to you
On site, a composite deck in Harvester generally runs one to three weeks.
Harvester is a little under half an hour by I-70 or Highway 364 from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.
What our composite & pvc decks looks like
Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near Harvester; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in Harvester
We price composite & pvc decks in Harvester from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Pattern complexity: borders, inlays, diagonal or herringbone layouts.
- Product line. Entry capped composite to premium PVC is a wide spread.
More detail
Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main composite & pvc decks page. More about the area is on our Harvester page.
Composite & PVC Decks in Harvester: common questions
How long does a composite deck take in Harvester?
One to three weeks. In Harvester, permit review by St. Charles County, because Harvester is unincorporated and material lead times affect the start date more than our calendar does.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a composite deck in Harvester?
Possibly. In Harvester you may be dealing with subdivision trustees in some neighborhoods. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
Does composite get too hot?
Dark colors in direct afternoon sun do. Lighter colors and PVC lines run cooler. Shade from a pergola or umbrella helps more than product choice.
