Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about your outdoor living project.
How much does a custom deck cost?
Deck costs vary widely based on size, materials (wood vs. composite), elevation, and accessories like lighting or custom railings. We provide detailed, transparent quotes after a free on-site consultation to give you an accurate price.
Do you handle the permit process?
Yes. As a fully licensed and insured contractor, we handle all necessary building permits and inspections required by your city or county to ensure your project is up to code.
Composite vs. Wood: Which is better?
Composite decking (like Trex or TimberTech) costs more upfront but requires virtually no maintenance and lasts longer. Wood (like Cedar) offers natural beauty and a lower initial cost, but requires regular staining and sealing. We can help you decide based on your budget and lifestyle.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Once construction begins, most standard decks take about 3 to 7 days to complete. Larger or more complex projects with multiple levels, roofs, or extensive hardscaping can take several weeks.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Big Pine Decks is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. We prioritize safety and professionalism on every job site.
Do you build year-round?
We build for as much of the year as the Nebraska weather allows. While extreme winter conditions or heavy rain can cause delays, we frequently work through the colder months.
