Why Professional Deck Building Matters: The BRI Difference in Westmoreland County

Your deck is more than just an outdoor space—it's an investment in your home's value, your family's safety, and your quality of life. Yet many homeowners don't realize that not all decks are created equal. The difference between a deck that lasts 20+ years and one that deteriorates in just a few years often comes down to one critical factor: professional construction.

The Foundation of Quality: Engineering That Lasts

At Bocan Residential Improvements, we don't just build decks—we engineer them. Our construction process follows the International Residential Code standards, ensuring your deck is not only beautiful but structurally sound and safe for your family.

Here's what sets our deck construction apart:

• 6x6 Posts Set 3 Feet Deep: Our support system uses 6x6 posts anchored three feet into concrete.

• Galvanized Bolts & Lateral Tension Connectors: Every connection is secured with galvanized hardware and professional-grade connectors that tie the entire structure together.

• Hurricane Ties & Structural Screws: Your frame is reinforced with hurricane ties, exterior structural screws, heavy-duty corner brackets, and joist hangers.

• Protective Flashing & Joist Tape: We use flashing on ledger boards and joist tape on every joist to prevent deterioration and rotting—a practice some deck companies skip.

  
  

Owner-Led Construction: Your Peace of Mind

When you hire Bocan Residential Improvements, you're not just hiring a contractor—you're hiring the owners. Tucker and Trent Bocan personally oversee every project from start to finish. This means the same people who quote your project are the ones building it. You meet them, discuss your vision, and then watch them execute it with precision.

This level of accountability and personal investment is rare in the construction industry. It's why our customers consistently rate us 5 stars and why they trust us with their most important home improvement projects.

Permits & Code Compliance: Protecting Your Investment

Permits might seem like an unnecessary expense, but they're actually one of the best investments you can make. Permits ensure your deck meets building codes, protects your home's insurance coverage, and adds documented value to your property. When you sell your home, future buyers will see that your deck was built to code by licensed professionals.

At BRI, we handle all permit requirements and ensure strict compliance with the Uniform Construction Code (UCC) and International Residential Code standards—regardless of your municipality's specific requirements.
