DecksRXKC · Kansas City
Make the full project work together
DecksRXKC helps homeowners compare the structure, layout, material, access, and finish decisions that shape the final space.
Deck footprints planned around doors, grade, patios, views, and normal traffic
Composite or wood surfaces coordinated with stairs, railings, fascia, and trim
Options for future shade, screening, lighting, and outdoor-room upgrades
Plan the deck around real life
The right footprint depends on more than the available wall space. We look at how people will enter from the house, where furniture and a grill can sit, how guests reach the yard, and which views should stay open.
Dining and conversation zones
Door and stair circulation
Sun, shade, and privacy
Connection to patios and the yard
Make every visible detail belong together
Decking is one part of the finished composition. Railing color, fascia, stair edges, posts, lighting, and the relationship to the home all shape how intentional the deck feels.

Useful answers before you request a quote
What makes a deck custom?
A custom deck responds to the home, yard, grade, doors, furniture needs, material preferences, and access pattern instead of relying on a standard footprint.
Can a custom deck include both covered and open areas?
Yes. Many layouts pair an open area for sun or grilling with a covered zone for shade and more dependable everyday use.
Do you build both composite and wood decks?
Yes. DecksRXKC can compare wood with Trex and TimberTech composite options based on the project and maintenance goals.
Can stairs be placed somewhere different from the old deck?
Often, yes. The best location depends on grade, doors, patios, utilities, yard circulation, and the complete deck plan.
Can screening be added later?
Some decks can be planned for a future enclosure, but roof, structure, openings, and circulation are easier to coordinate before the initial build.
