KD Fence did an absolutely amazing job installing a tall wood driveway fence gate. Their craftsmanship is incredible. They were able to install it in one day and cleaned up their work area, when the job was completed. Thank you very much KD fence, for your professionalism and workmanship. Cal C2024-10-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KD Fencing did an AWESOME job!! I needed my black iron porch railings to be replaced because my railings were rotted out on bottom and bulging out with heavy snow holding the roof up. I really need it done before winter. My deck floor was done a few years ago. It was so hard to find a contractor. One contractor refused because I have a roof over the porch. The other estimates were 2 to 3 times higher than KD Fencing. They are reasonably price and prompt. It took 1 day and half for the job. That was fast. I now have white vinyl post and railings with black spindles inside. It looks great. I will be using them again. Ryan White2024-10-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KD did a great job installing my fence/gate. Very professional & polite.

Frequently Asked Questions
Decks are frequently attached to the back entrance of a house and are either ground level or slightly elevated, whereas balconies are situated on the second floor or higher.
Decks offer an alternate living area between indoor and outdoor life and are reachable from the yard. These are expansive, open areas that, depending on their design, may or may not have railings.
Since balconies are raised buildings, they are typically inaccessible from the ground. Rather, balconies frequently have private entrances from a lobby or, in the case of a public area, a bedroom. They are contained by a railing, usually have a roof, and are smaller than decks.
One of the best options for second-story decks is composite decking due to its long lifespan, low maintenance requirements, and durability. It won’t rot, splinter, or draw insects like real wood does. It is also produced in a wide range of colors so that your style is represented, and it will give you the look of wood that is actually real.
Other good material options are pressure-treated wood, PVC, and aluminum.
Each one is different in terms of cost and maintenance. Choosing the material that suits your lifestyle needs is critical.
Having a deck gives you a lovely way to enjoy your house and spend more time outdoors. With the correct tools and assistance, some do-it-yourselfers can create a small deck or porch in a single weekend. Because of this height, though, in many scenarios a second-story deck comes out to be a bit more commitment and money than a first-story deck.
The cost of building a second-story deck generally falls between $40 and $80 per square foot. This means a 100-square-foot deck could range from $4,000 to $8,000. The total price can vary based on the deck’s size, the type of materials used, labor costs in your area, and additional features like stairs, railings, or lighting. Choosing composite materials or including stairs often increases the overall expense.
One of the best ways to increase the beauty and value of your house is to build an outside deck. Selecting the appropriate decking material is the first step.
This will make your outdoor living area warm, safe, and welcoming, appealing well into the future.
Decks made of PVC or composite materials often last the longest. These materials are significantly more durable than conventional wood because they are specifically designed to resist problems like rotting, insect damage, dampness, and fading. They can live anywhere from 25 to 50 years and are generally very low maintenance for that time, but can be pricey at the point of purchase. Wood decks, on the other hand, require more maintenance and usually only last between.
The ideal decking material should be more than just visually appealing. Additionally, it should free up more time for you to relax in your backyard rather than always maintaining it.
PVC is considered the top choice for a no-maintenance deck material. Since it’s made from 100% plastic, it won’t soak up water, rot, crack, splinter, or be affected by insects. It also doesn’t require any sealing, painting, or staining. PVC decking is ideal for anyone searching for a long-lasting, hassle-free outdoor space because it requires no maintenance, just the odd cleaning, and looks great for years.
Aluminum is the priciest material you can use to build a deck. Though more expensive than wood, composite, or PVC, it’s incredibly strong and stands up well against rust, rot, and insect damage. It also needs very little maintenance. Aluminum decks can last for many years without bending or splitting and are naturally resistant to fire and slipping, which adds to their appeal. It’s definitely going to break your bank in the beginning, but as it assures extended product life, the value remains high for its durability. They provide this cost comparison to give you an idea of how each of the decking materials stacks up against each other.
Decks can boost a home’s value by creating extra outdoor space that many buyers find appealing. A nicely designed and sturdy deck can enhance the home’s overall look and usability, which may raise its resale price. Homeowners often get a solid return on their investment, particularly if the deck is built with long-lasting, low-maintenance materials and matches the design of the house.
Decks that are well thought on and cared for make a home look nicer, make outdoor living relaxing, and attract buyers if you are intending to sell.
