Custom Decks FAQs

What makes a deck truly custom versus a standard deck build?
A custom deck is designed from scratch around your specific property, your home’s architecture, and how you use your outdoor space. No two Decks by Kiefer projects share the same layout, material combinations, or feature sets. The result is an outdoor space that looks and performs as if it were always part of your home, not something selected from a catalog.
Decks by Kiefer builds multi-level, raised, bi-level, curved, pool, and swim spa decks, along with single-level custom designs for properties where simplicity and precision matter most. Every deck type is designed to complement your home’s architecture and your property’s natural grade. The design process begins with a personal visit to your home so the layout reflects your specific site conditions.
What materials are available for a custom deck build?
Decks by Kiefer uses direct-imported Ipe hardwood, the decking material we recommend. We have also built with cedar, and premium composite products from TimberTech and AZEK. Ipe is the company’s specialty, and we offer access to premium-grade material at pricing no competitor can match. Every material recommendation is based on your priorities around appearance, durability, and long-term maintenance.
Yes, we manage the full permitting process for every project and coordinate with you on any required HOA approvals. Homeowners never need to navigate the permit office. All permitting is treated as part of the project scope, not an add-on service.
