Deck Construction Glenpool

Deck Construction Services in Glenpool

Shepherd Construction designs and builds custom decks throughout Glenpool's and surrounding communities, creating outdoor living spaces that seamlessly extend your home's footprint. Oklahoma's climate presents unique challenges — from scorching summer heat to ice storms and 60+ mph straight-line winds — and our decks are engineered to handle all of it. We start with a thorough site evaluation, checking soil conditions (Glenpool's expansive clay soil requires specific footing depths and drainage considerations), existing drainage patterns, and your home's structural attachment points. Every deck we build meets or exceeds the International Residential Code (IRC) and Oklahoma building requirements, including proper ledger board attachment with flashing, minimum footing depths of 18 inches below grade, and engineered load calculations for your specific design. Our material options include pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine for budget-conscious builds, low-maintenance composite brands like Trex and TimberTech for long-term value, and exotic hardwoods like Ipe for premium installations. We handle permitting, HOA coordination, and utility locates (811) as part of every project. Whether you envision a simple platform deck off your back door, a wraparound porch with built-in seating, or a multi-level entertainment space with integrated lighting and built-in planters, our team brings decades of carpentry experience to every board and connection.
