A multi-level deck offers distinct zones for relaxation, dining, or entertainment, making it the ideal choice for homeowners who want to maximize their outdoor space. Whether working with a sloped yard, adding a pool, or designing a modern outdoor living area, multi-level decks bring versatility and structure to your backyard. Premier Deck Builders specializes in creating multi-level decks carefully designed to complement your home, with precision and high-quality materials to ensure longevity and performance.
From composite decks to deck railings, fireplaces, and underdeck waterproofing, we integrate every component to make your outdoor space fully functional and ready for year-round use.
Why Choose a Multi-Level Deck?
A multi-level deck can significantly improve your backyard’s flow and functionality by providing distinct areas for different activities. Here’s why you should consider it:
Maximized Usability
A multi-level deck creates designated dining, lounging, and relaxation zones, making the space more organized and accessible. Multiple levels can turn an ordinary deck into an elevated outdoor experience, offering different sections for unique activities.
- Upper level: Perfect for dining or grilling.
- Mid-level: Ideal for a shaded lounge area or a quiet reading nook.
- Lower level: Create a fire pit area, hot tub, or private retreat for ultimate relaxation.
Ideal for Sloped Yards
If your home sits on a sloped yard, a multi-level deck eliminates the need for expensive excavation and retaining walls. Instead, it uses the natural grade of the land, resulting in a more cost-effective and visually appealing design.
Increased Privacy & Better Views
A multi-level deck also provides better privacy and more spectacular views. Elevated sections give you clear sightlines of your backyard, while lower levels offer a private space to relax away from the main area.
Premium Materials for Multi-Level Decks
We build our multi-level decks using high-quality materials designed for performance, durability, and minimal maintenance:
Composite Decking
We use composite decking from trusted brands like TimberTech/Azek, which offer all the aesthetic appeal of wood without the maintenance. These materials are resistant to fading, rot, and mold, ensuring your deck looks great year after year.
- TimberTech/Azek composite decking: Fade-resistant and incredibly durable.
- Westbury Railings: Powder-coated aluminum railings that offer low maintenance and high strength.
Steel Framing
For a solid foundation, we use steel framing, which outperforms wood framing in terms of strength and resistance to environmental elements. Steel framing eliminates warping, sagging, and damage that can happen over time with wood.
Must-Have Features for Your Multi-Level Deck
A multi-level deck should offer more than just multiple levels; it should be packed with functional and stylish features that increase usability. Here’s how we can make your deck work even harder:
Deck Lighting
Lighting is not just for ambiance; it’s crucial for safety and usability. We install various deck lighting solutions that will illuminate your multi-level deck beautifully and safely:
- Post cap lights: Low-glare lighting on top of your railing posts.
- Recessed stair riser lights: Ideal for stairs to prevent missteps and provide visibility.
- Under-rail LEDs: Add soft lighting along the perimeter of your deck, enhancing both form and function.
Deck Railings
Your deck railing system should provide safety, support, and design harmony with your deck. We offer a variety of railing materials to match the aesthetic and functional needs of your deck:
- Aluminum railings: Rust-resistant and low-maintenance, ideal for modern designs.
- Cable railings: Stainless steel cables that allow unobstructed views while maintaining safety.
- Composite railings: Built to integrate with composite decks for a consistent, low-maintenance look.
Fireplaces & Firepits
Nothing adds warmth and atmosphere to your deck like a fire feature. Whether it’s a fire pit for casual gatherings or a more formal built-in fireplace, we offer custom-designed fire features that suit your deck layout.
- Gas firepits: Clean-burning and easy to use, perfect for cozy evenings.
- Wood-burning fireboxes: Classic and rustic, great for providing traditional warmth.
- Custom fireplace walls: Framed and designed to match your deck’s aesthetic, providing functionality and a focal point for your outdoor space.
Underdeck Waterproofing
Install underdeck waterproofing systems like DrySpace to use the space beneath your multi-level deck. These systems prevent water damage and create a dry, functional area for storage or additional outdoor living space.
