Deck Builders in Midvale, UT

Our work as deck builders in Midvale looks different from a sprawling suburb. Midvale packs about 36,000 people into roughly 5.9 square miles, households average 2.30 people, and only about 43.4% of homes are owner-occupied, according to the Census. That means a lot of townhomes, condos, smaller lots and rental properties. The decks here are often compact, the railings get heavy use, and an HOA or property owner usually has a say.

Getting the most from a small yard

A narrow yard does not need a narrow idea. We often build a low deck that runs the width of the house, with a built-in step instead of a long stair, so the remaining lawn stays usable. For tight side yards, a small landing with a short stair to a paver path can work better than a full deck. Composite boards in a lighter color keep a small space from feeling heavy and need no staining.

Townhome and HOA decks

In attached housing, the deck may sit on a shared wall, the HOA may control colors and railing styles, and some associations handle the structure while owners handle the surface. Before we quote, we ask who owns what. We can provide drawings and material specs for your board approval, match existing railing designs in a row of units, and replace decking without altering the approved footprint.

For landlords and rental owners

With more than half of Midvale homes renter-occupied, many deck calls come from property owners. Loose railings, soft boards and wobbly stairs are tenant safety problems as well as eyesores. We repair or replace guards to current height and spacing rules, swap rotten boards and stair treads, and can quote a full resurface if the framing is still sound.

Bingham Junction and Jordan Bluffs

Midvale's western edge along the Jordan River was once the Sharon Steel slag site, used from 1871 to 1958. After cleanup it came off the National Priorities List in 2006 and has since become Bingham Junction, adding thousands of households. Next door, the 351-acre Jordan Bluffs area is in early redevelopment, with proposals for up to 3,500 more housing units. Newer buildings in these areas often have balconies or small private patios, and work on them typically goes through the property manager or HOA.

Older homes near Main Street

Midvale became a city in 1909, and some permanent homes date back to the 1850s. Historic downtown runs along 700 West and Main Street. Older homes on the east side can have unusual framing, lower foundations or additions that complicate a deck attachment. We check how the house is built before choosing between an attached and a freestanding deck.
