Our expertise blends craftsmanship with premium materials, ensuring your deck will withstand the region’s climate while enhancing your outdoor living experience.
Precision Pool Deck Installation Tailored for Ankeny’s Climate and Lifestyle
Our pool deck installation begins with meticulous planning for structural integrity and material performance. We build decks that handle seasonal weather fluctuations—from intense summer heat to cold winters—while providing safe, comfortable surfaces around your pool or spa.
- Advanced Deck Framing Options: Choose from traditional wood framing for natural warmth or aluminum framing for unmatched strength, durability, and resistance to moisture and rot—ideal for wet pool environments.
- Secure Deck Footings: We use reinforced footings designed to withstand frost heave and ensure your deck stays level and stable for decades.
- Joist Tape for Longevity: Protective joist tape prevents moisture from damaging framing lumber, reducing rot and prolonging your deck’s life.
- Hide the Screws Technology: Our concealed fastener systems create clean, splinter-free surfaces without visible screws, enhancing both safety and aesthetics.
Premium Composite Decking Materials for Lasting Beauty and Performance
Our pool decks often feature high-performance composite decking from industry leaders like Trex and TimberTech/Azek, chosen for their superior resistance to moisture, fading, and wear.
- Trex Decking: Made with over 95% recycled content, Trex decking offers excellent slip resistance and color retention, perfect for poolside use where safety and low maintenance matter.
- TimberTech/Azek: These decking lines provide a blend of realistic wood grain textures with exceptional durability, engineered to resist stains, mold, and fading under Iowa’s sun and humidity.
Both brands provide decking options designed to stay cooler underfoot, prioritizing the pool deck’s barefoot comfort.
Swim Spa Decks Designed for Strength and Comfort
Building a deck around a swim spa demands extra attention to structural support and moisture management.
- Reinforced Framing: Using engineered lumber combined with steel or aluminum framing options, we ensure your swim spa deck safely supports the significant weight of the spa filled with water and users.
- Underdeck Drainage Systems: To protect your deck and the space beneath, we install advanced drainage systems that channel water away, preventing moisture buildup and maximizing usability of the area under your deck.
- Sloped Deck Surfaces: Gentle slopes ensure efficient water runoff, minimizing damage and reducing slip hazards around your swim spa.
Customizable Deck Features to Complete Your Outdoor Space
We offer a variety of thoughtful features designed to enhance your pool or swim spa deck’s functionality and visual appeal:
- Deck Railing Options: From classic wood railings to durable aluminum and sleek cable rail systems, we provide safety solutions that blend with your home’s style while ensuring unobstructed views of your pool or spa.
- Integrated Deck Lighting: Extend your poolside enjoyment into the evening with strategically placed LED deck lighting, step lights, and post caps that provide safety and ambiance.
