Why Deck Framing Matters

The strength of your deck depends on its frame. At Custom Decks IA, we use pressure-treated lumber, joist tape, joist paint,and proven construction techniques to prevent rot, shifting, and sagging. A solid frame not only extends your deck’s life but also keeps your family safe for years to come.

Our Work in Action

Structural Deck Framing & Protection

“In Ankeny, IA, we rebuilt a 20-year-old deck that had unsafe framing. By using pressure-treated lumber and protective joist tape, the new frame is rot-resistant and designed to last for decades.”

Deck Footing FAQs

A properly built frame with moisture protection can last 25–30 years or more.

We do both. Our team can assess your current frame and recommend reinforcement or a complete rebuild depending on its condition.

Joist tape prevents water from seeping into screw holes and wood grain, protecting against rot and extending the life of the frame.
