Carpenter Heritage
Brian's grandfather and father were carpenters — generations of woodworking knowledge.
Custom Deck Construction Across the KC Metro
Your deck is where summer cookouts happen, where kids play, where neighbors gather. Staunch Properties has built hundreds of custom decks across the Kansas City metro since 2016 — from simple ground-level platforms to elevated multi-level masterpieces with pergolas and built-in seating. Brian Imes and his crew bring carpenter-by-heritage craftsmanship to every joist, every railing, every stair tread.
We work in cedar, pressure-treated pine, Cedartone PTP, and premium composites (Trex, TimberTech). Every deck is built to code, properly permitted, and backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Deck Building FAQ
How much does a deck cost in Kansas City?
Custom decks in Kansas City range from $8,000 to $45,000+ depending on size, materials, and elevation. Pressure-treated decks (200 sq ft) start around $8,000-$15,000. Composite decks of the same size run $18,000-$28,000. Multi-level or elevated decks with pergolas often range $25,000-$45,000+.
What is the best decking material for Kansas City weather?
Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) is the most durable for KC weather — it resists freeze-thaw damage and UV fading with virtually zero maintenance. Cedar offers natural beauty and 15-25 year lifespan. Pressure-treated pine is the most affordable and lasts 15-20 years with regular sealing.
How long does it take to build a deck in Kansas City?
Most decks take 1-4 weeks to complete. Simple ground-level decks finish in 7-10 days. Elevated, multi-level, or decks with pergolas and built-in features typically take 2-4 weeks. Weather, permits, and material availability can affect timeline.
Do I need a permit for a new deck in Kansas City?
Yes — most Kansas City municipalities require permits for any deck attached to a house or any deck more than 30 inches above grade. Staunch Properties handles all permit research and pulls required permits on your behalf.
