Decks and Fences Built to Last

Built to Last: Why Deck Builders Bloomington Builds Fences and Decks That Stand the Test of Time

When you add a deck or fence to your home, you’re not just upgrading your outdoor space—you’re making an investment in your property’s value, beauty, and functionality. At Deck Builders Bloomington, we believe that every structure we build should do more than look great on day one—it should provide years of dependable service, standing strong against the elements and wear that comes with daily use.

So, how long should you expect your deck or fence to last? The answer depends on the materials used, the quality of craftsmanship, how well it’s maintained, and how it stands up to local conditions. Here in Bloomington, Indiana, our decks and fences are exposed to all four seasons—humid summers, freezing winters, rain, snow, and blazing sun. That’s why we build with longevity in mind, from the ground up.

Pressure-treated wood decks generally last between 15 and 20 years with routine upkeep. Composite decking, which is increasingly popular for its low-maintenance benefits, can last 25 to 30 years or more. When it comes to fencing, wood fences typically last around 15 to 20 years, while vinyl and metal fencing options can exceed 30 years when properly installed and maintained. No matter the material, a job well done from the start makes all the difference—and that’s exactly what we deliver.

At Deck Builders Bloomington, we pride ourselves on using premium-grade materials built to withstand the elements. We hand-select lumber and composites that are treated to resist rot, warping, UV damage, and pests. But quality materials are just the beginning. Our builders bring a level of craftsmanship that only comes with experience. Every post, board, and fastener is installed with precision and care to ensure structural integrity that holds up under pressure.

We also pay close attention to the parts of your project that you may never see—such as footings and drainage. A deck or fence is only as strong as its foundation, and we take the time to ensure your structure is properly anchored and protected against moisture intrusion, frost heave, and soil shifting. With strategic planning and execution, we set the stage for decades of reliable performance.

Of course, no outdoor structure is truly maintenance-free, but we set you up for success by using protective sealants, stains, and coatings that defend against the most common threats: moisture, sun exposure, and seasonal changes. We also provide expert guidance on care routines, helping you extend the life of your deck or fence with minimal effort.

Indiana weather can be unpredictable—but your deck or fence shouldn’t be. Whether it’s a summer cookout, a snowy winter evening, or a rainy spring weekend, we build outdoor structures that maintain their strength, beauty, and purpose through every season.

At the end of the day, your outdoor space should be something you enjoy—not something you have to worry about. When you choose Deck Builders Bloomington, you’re choosing a partner committed to quality, durability, and value. We don’t just build decks and fences—we build long-term solutions that enhance your lifestyle and protect your investment.
