Deck building and repair, structure first
Imperial Finishes provides deck building and repair in Overland Park, KS and across the Kansas City metro area. We build new decks, repair existing ones and upgrade boards, railings and stairs, starting with the structure.
A deck lives outdoors all year, so framing, connections and drainage matter more than the surface you see.

What deck service includes
Planning and site evaluation
We look at the yard or the existing deck, measure, and talk through how you will use it.
Deck structure evaluation
On an existing deck we check posts, beams, joists, the connection to the house, railings and stairs.
Framing and structural repairs
Failed material is removed. Footings, posts, beams and joists are built or repaired; rotted framing is replaced, not covered.
Decking, railings and stairs
Deck boards, guardrails and stairs are installed following local code requirements.
Exterior surface preparation
Wood is cleaned and prepared for stain or sealer.
Cleanup and final walkthrough
The site is cleaned and we walk the finished deck with you.
Signs a deck needs repair
Check your deck for these at least once a year:
- Soft, spongy or splintering boards
- Railings or stairs that move when you lean on them
- Dark stains or rot where the deck meets the house or the ground
- Posts that lean, or a deck that bounces or sways
Repair or replace a deck?
Repair makes sense when the framing is sound and the damage is limited to boards, railings, stairs or fasteners.
Replacement is the safer choice when rot has reached posts, beams, joists or the connection to the house.

Deck Building & Repair FAQ
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
Permit requirements vary by city. Many cities in the Kansas City metro require one for a new deck, often depending on its height and whether it attaches to the house. Check with the building department of your city.
Should I choose wood or composite decking?
Pressure-treated wood needs regular cleaning and sealing or staining. Composite boards need less upkeep, but the framing under them is still wood. The choice depends on how much maintenance you want to do.
How much does a deck cost?
It depends on the size and height of the deck, the decking and railing materials, stairs, and the condition of the site or the existing structure. We look at it and give you a free estimate.
How do I keep a deck in good shape?
Keep it clean, and reseal or restain wood when water stops beading on the surface. Look over railings, stairs and fasteners each spring, and deal with soft spots before rot spreads.
