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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new deck cost in Tulsa?
Deck costs in the Tulsa area typically range from $25-$45 per square foot for pressure-treated wood and $45-$75 per square foot for composite materials. A standard 12x16 deck runs approximately $5,000-$12,000 depending on materials, height, railing style, and features like stairs or built-in seating. We provide detailed, itemized estimates at no cost.
Do I need a permit for a deck in Oklahoma?
Yes, most Oklahoma municipalities require a building permit for deck construction, especially for attached decks or decks over 30 inches above grade. The permitting process typically takes 1-2 weeks. We handle the entire permit application, including structural drawings and load calculations, as part of our service.
What deck material lasts longest in Oklahoma weather?
Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) lasts 25-30+ years in Oklahoma's climate with virtually zero maintenance. Pressure-treated wood lasts 15-20 years but requires annual staining or sealing. For the ultimate in durability, Ipe hardwood can last 40+ years. Oklahoma's heat, ice, and humidity make composite the best value for most homeowners.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most residential decks take 5-10 business days from start to completion. Simple platform decks can be done in 3-5 days, while larger multi-level designs with custom features may take 2-3 weeks. Weather delays are possible during Oklahoma's spring storm season, but we communicate timeline adjustments proactively.
