Decks in Murray, Utah

Murray sits near the center of Salt Lake County and has some of the older housing in the south valley. Many streets near Murray Park and the historic downtown along State Street are lined with brick bungalows, post-war cottages and 1950s through 1970s ramblers. Lots are often flat with mature trees, and some backyards still have original concrete patios or older decks that are ready for replacement. Decks in Murray are frequently about updating that space so it works for how you live now. Our team helps you plan the project, and our crew builds decks throughout Murray.

If you are replacing an older deck, start by looking closely at what is there. Soft boards, wobbly railings, rusted hardware or a ledger board attached without flashing are all reasons to talk with us about a full rebuild instead of a surface refresh. Mature trees near Murray Park and around Wheeler Historic Farm are a plus for shade, but roots and overhanging limbs affect where footings can go and how much debris lands on the surface. Note any trees, sheds and fences in your yard before our crew comes out. Measure the door threshold height and think about where stairs should land.

Murray's location near the Fashion Place Mall area, Intermountain Medical Center and the I-15 and I-215 interchange means some homes sit close to busy roads. A privacy screen, built-in planters or a pergola can make a backyard deck feel more tucked away. Climate still drives the material choice. Snow load, freeze-thaw cycles and high-altitude UV all wear on outdoor surfaces, and dry summers can split untreated wood. Composite decking and metal railings need less upkeep, while pressure-treated lumber or cedar can work well if you are willing to seal it every few years. We'll explain how each choice holds up in Utah conditions over time.

Most of Murray's established neighborhoods have no HOA, which gives you more freedom, but city setback and permit rules still apply. Raised or attached decks generally need a building permit, and the city will want to see how the deck connects to the house. With older homes, we also check whether the rim joist and siding are in good enough shape to support a new ledger. SLC Deck Builders is a locally owned and operated deck contractor. We help homeowners plan decks in Murray, then come out for an on-site look and an estimate, and we stand behind our work.
