Ladue homes and this kind of project
A composite deck in Ladue means working in architect-designed houses from the 1920s to 1950s and newer estates, so on our first visit we look at joist spacing, ledger flashing and footing depth on any frame we might reuse.
The housing stock here: architect-designed homes from the 1920s to 1950s, mid-century ranches and new estates on large lots.
Composite can suit an old house if the color and rail are chosen with restraint.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in Ladue
Wood window and trim restoration, additions designed to be indistinguishable from the original, and terraces and porches. Architectural review is thorough.
A front porch is part of the architecture of an older Ladue house, and rebuilding one means matching column profiles, railing heights and beadboard ceilings, often under historic review. Rear decks and porches have more freedom, but we still design them to suit the house.
What is included
On Ladue resurfacing jobs we document the frame inspection with photos: footing depth where we can verify it, ledger attachment, joist condition and spacing. You see what we see before deciding.
We take on composite deck work in and around lanes off Ladue, Warson and Litzsinger roads.
What we watch for
Older Ladue deck frames were often built at twenty-four-inch joist spacing, which no composite manufacturer allows. Adding joists between the existing ones is routine for us.
Ladue properties tend to be large lots on winding private lanes, and that affects how we stage materials, where deck carpenters park and how debris leaves the site.
Permits and approvals in Ladue
Ladue's building department is where we file for a composite deck in Ladue, and the job will see a permit and inspections when the frame, stairs or guards change.
Exterior work in Ladue can also involve a thorough architectural review board, and we put that package together for you.
Schedule and getting to you
Plan on one to three weeks of site work for a composite deck in Ladue, once permits and materials are in hand.
Ladue sits toward the edge of our range: I-64 east past Lindbergh, a little over forty minutes in normal traffic. We group trade visits and deliveries carefully for projects at that distance, and we take them on when the scope justifies a dedicated crew.
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 Ladue; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in Ladue
We price composite & pvc decks in Ladue from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Railing system and linear footage.
- Pattern complexity: borders, inlays, diagonal or herringbone layouts.
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 Ladue page.
Composite & PVC Decks in Ladue: common questions
How long does a composite deck take in Ladue?
One to three weeks. For Ladue we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a composite deck in Ladue?
Possibly. In Ladue you may be dealing with a thorough architectural review board. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
Will it fade or stain?
Current capped products carry fade and stain warranties of twenty-five years or longer. Grease should still be cleaned promptly.
