A deck should feel like it always belonged there.
Not a platform bolted onto the house. A true extension of how you gather, relax, cook, and spend time outside.
We design custom wood and composite decks around the architecture, grade, traffic flow, views, and maintenance expectations of your home. Structure comes first; proportion, details, and finish make it feel complete.

“We were in a bind with our insurance company and Standard Exterior were willing, competent, and reasonably priced to handle our needs. After dealing with many different home exterior companies I feel like I’ve found a local person I can trust to communicate with and get the job done right the first time.”

Common questions
Plan with clarity.
Straight answers to the questions homeowners usually have before starting a deck or exterior project.
How much does a new deck cost in Southern Indiana?
The investment depends on size, height, site access, structure, stairs, railing, and whether you choose pressure-treated wood or composite. We develop a project-specific scope after learning what you want the deck to do—not from a one-size-fits-all square-foot number.
Should I choose pressure-treated wood or composite decking?
Pressure-treated wood usually offers a lower starting investment and a traditional look, but it requires ongoing maintenance. Composite costs more up front, offers consistent color and lower maintenance, and can be a strong long-term choice. We help you compare the real tradeoffs for your home and budget.
Do I need a permit for my deck or exterior project?
Requirements vary by address and project scope. We identify the applicable requirements during planning and make sure permitting responsibilities are clear before construction begins.
Can my existing deck be repaired or resurfaced?
Sometimes. The answer depends on the visible condition, age, framing, ledger connection, footings, and whether the existing structure appears suitable for the new finish. We review what is there and recommend repair, resurfacing, replacement, or a formal evaluation when appropriate—not a cosmetic cover-up.
How long will my project take?
The timeline depends on design decisions, material lead times, permitting, weather, and project complexity. Before work begins, you receive a clear schedule and proactive updates if conditions change.
