Most average-sized decks take about 1–2 weeks to complete once materials are ready and permits are approved. Porches can take a bit longer since they often involve additional features like roofing, posts, or screening. If you’re adding custom touches like built-in seating, multi-level platforms, or outdoor kitchens, that may extend the timeline slightly. We’ll give you a clear schedule upfront so you know exactly what to expect, and we keep you updated throughout the project.
