Explore the materials, layouts and construction details in our local work.
Fiberon Cottage composite deck with wood accents
This Blue Springs deck in the Brittany Place subdivision features Fiberon composite decking in the Cottage color with black face-mounted aluminum balusters. The homeowner selected pressure-treated posts, rails and a wide wood drink rail to preserve the warm, traditional character of wood while gaining the easier maintenance of composite decking. The gray decking, natural wood and black aluminum create a balanced mixed-material design.
Elevated pressure treated wood deck with solar lighting
This elevated wood deck in Creek Side Estates is built with pressure-treated lumber and black face-mounted aluminum balusters. A wide wood drink rail provides a practical top surface while maintaining a traditional wood-deck appearance. Solar post-cap lights were installed at the deck and stair corners to improve visibility after dark and shield the tops of those posts from direct water exposure.
Multilevel composite deck with a wood privacy screen
This Waterfield North project combines brown composite decking with pressure-treated wood rails, black face-mounted aluminum balusters and solar post-cap lights. The connected deck levels create separate areas for relaxing and entertaining, while the full-height wood privacy screen helps shield the upper seating area. A wide wood drink rail adds usable surface space and continues the project’s mixed-material appearance.
Low Fiberon Cabana deck with composite skirting
This low deck in Ridgewood Place at Chapman Farms features Fiberon composite decking in the Cabana color. Because the deck surface sits approximately 26 inches above grade, a full perimeter guardrail was not required for this project. A short black aluminum rail was installed along the steps to provide a secure handhold and complement the home’s darker exterior accents. Coordinating horizontal composite skirting conceals the framing and gives the deck a more finished appearance.
Fiberon Beach House deck with a wood top rail
This elevated deck in the Stonebridge subdivision features Fiberon composite decking in the Beach House color. The homeowner selected pressure-treated wood posts, rails and a wide wood top rail to add natural warmth and character to the gray composite decking. Black face-mounted aluminum balusters create a clean contrast and preserve an open view from the deck. Solar post-cap lights improve visibility around the deck and stairway after dark.
Let’s plan your deck project.
Tell us about your yard, your priorities and the way you want to use your outdoor space.
Make it your own
Deck options for the way you live
Start with how you want to spend time outside. Then compare the look, upkeep and practical details of the materials and features that will make that space work for you.
Less routine finishing
Fiberon composite decking
A good fit when you want a finished-looking surface with less ongoing work. Compare the grain, texture and color in real samples alongside your siding and railing.
Plan for: Composite still needs cleaning. Compare product lines and the full installed quote; the board price alone leaves out framing, stairs and railing. Sun exposure matters when choosing a color.
In our local work: Brittany Place, Ridgewood Place at Chapman Farms and Stonebridge feature confirmed Fiberon colors: Cottage, Cabana and Beach House. Composite decking offers an easier-maintenance surface without routine staining.
Natural wood character
Pressure-treated wood
A good fit when you enjoy real wood grain and are comfortable with regular care. Pressure-treated decking is often a lower initial material cost than composite.
Plan for: Budget time and money for cleaning and renewed stain or finish. Wood moves and weathers outdoors. THFD does not provide staining; wood must be stained within the first year for full workmanship-warranty coverage.
In our local work: Creek Side Estates shows the natural character of a traditional elevated wood deck. Wood needs cleaning, staining and ongoing maintenance.
A warm, open railing
Mixed-material railing
Combine the look of wood posts and a broad drink rail with slimmer aluminum balusters. The top rail gives you a convenient ledge while keeping the yard visible.
Plan for: The wood portions still need staining and care, even with composite deck boards. Compare a mixed railing with an all-aluminum system when deciding how much upkeep you want.
In our local work: Brittany Place and Stonebridge pair composite decking with pressure-treated posts, rails and wide wood drink rails. Black aluminum balusters preserve an open view.
A more private place to sit
Privacy screens
A screen can shelter a seating area from a nearby window or neighboring yard. Placement matters: start with the view you want to screen and where your chairs will actually sit.
Plan for: Screen height and spacing affect privacy, daylight and airflow. A solid screen also catches wind, so the framing and connections need to be planned with the deck.
In our local work: The full-height wood screen at Waterfield North adds privacy on one side of the upper seating area.
A finished edge at ground level
Composite skirting
Skirting conceals the view of the framing beneath a low deck and can tie its appearance to the house. Horizontal boards create a different look from open lattice.
Plan for: Leave room for drainage, ventilation and access where needed. Skirting does not make the space beneath a deck a dry storage area.
In our local work: At Ridgewood Place, horizontal composite skirting conceals the framing and finishes the edge of the low deck.
Light around the deck edges
Solar post-cap lighting
Post-cap lights add a softer glow at deck corners and stair posts. They can make the space more inviting after dusk without putting a bright fixture in the seating area.
Plan for: Solar performance depends on sunlight, season and battery condition. Discuss dedicated stair or path lighting wherever dependable light for walking is important.
In our local work: Creek Side Estates and Stonebridge use solar lighting at deck and stair corners for nighttime visibility and coverage over the post tops.
How much sun does the deck get? Where will you eat, sit and walk to the yard? How much upkeep do you want? These answers help us compare the options within your budget. All decking can get hot in direct sun; compare samples and shade options for your space.

Deck permits and building requirements in Blue Springs
Total Home Fence and Deck handles required city permitting for our deck projects. We review the property and proposed design so permit requirements are part of the plan from the beginning.
When a permit is needed
Deck height and the proposed design affect permit requirements in Blue Springs. The city has adopted newer codes since its 2023 home-improvement pamphlet, so we confirm the current requirements with Codes Administration before relying on a low-deck exemption.
How your property affects the plans
We review the property lines, required setbacks and easements before placing the deck and stairs. A setback is the space the city requires between a structure and a property or right-of-way line. Corner lots and covered decks can need a different layout.
We also plan for footings, framing, the house connection, guards, stair handrails and any electrical work the design needs. Required city inspections are part of the construction process.
HOA approval is separate from city permitting. Bring any HOA guidelines and available property documents to the estimate so we can account for them while planning your deck.
Diagrams, detailed requirements, common questions and official city sources.

In our own words
Our Five-Year Warranty Changed the Way We Build
Why we stand behind our work for five years, and what it has taught us about building.
When we started our company, there was one thing we wanted our customers to know from the beginning:
When we finish your project and shake your hand, that shouldn’t be the end of our relationship.
If you need us, we want to be there.
In the home-improvement industry, one-year workmanship warranties are common. We never believed that was enough. We wanted to build a company that stood behind its work for much longer than that.
That’s why we offer a five-year workmanship warranty.
We’ve had employees, customers and even others in the industry ask us the same question:
“Why offer five years when almost nobody else does?”
The answer is simple.
Because we can. And because we believe we should.
A warranty is only as good as the company behind it
Putting a five-year warranty on paper is easy.
Standing behind it years later is what matters.
Some of the best feedback we’ve received has come from customers after we’ve performed warranty service. We’ve had homeowners tell us they loved the idea of our five-year warranty when they hired us, but weren’t completely sure whether we’d really come back two, three or four years later if they needed us.
Then they called.
And we showed up.
That’s what we want our warranty to mean.
But there’s another benefit to our five-year warranty that most homeowners will never see.
It has made us better builders.
Continue reading our story ↓
It forces us to think beyond the day we finish
When you’re responsible for your workmanship for five years, you start looking at construction differently.
It’s no longer enough to ask:
“Does this look good and work properly today?”
We also have to ask:
“How is this going to perform years from now?”
That question has changed the way we build.
A great example: our fence gates
Years ago, we noticed we were receiving occasional service calls involving wood fence gates.
We could go out, make an adjustment and take care of the customer. But after seeing the same type of issue more than once, we started asking a different question:
Why does this keep happening, and how can we prevent it?
Unlike a standard section of fence, a gate is supported by hinges on only one side. That means the gate post and hinges are constantly carrying the weight of the gate. Over time, that added stress, along with the natural movement of wood, can cause a gate to sag, twist or stop operating properly.
Instead of accepting that as a normal part of owning a wood fence, we decided to find a better way to build it.
We began incorporating metal into our gate and post construction to create a stronger, more stable system.
The result?
Our gate-related service calls dropped dramatically.
Had we not been standing behind our work for five years, we may never have recognized the pattern. We might never have had a reason to redesign the way we built them.
Our warranty helped make our fences better.
We’ve learned the same lessons from our decks
A newly completed deck can feel extremely strong.
But we’re not building only for the day the project is finished.
We’re thinking about what happens after years of weather, movement and everyday use.
Through years of building, servicing and evaluating our own projects, we’ve continued improving the way we brace, block and reinforce critical areas of our decks.
We’ve had inspectors look at our construction and tell us:
“You guys overbuild these things.”
We’re perfectly comfortable with that.
Because we’re not trying to build something that’s simply strong enough to pass an inspection today.
We’re building with the next 10 or 15 years in mind.
The greatest benefit of our five-year warranty
The biggest benefit of our warranty isn’t actually the repairs we’ve made.
It’s what those service calls have taught us.
Every time we’ve returned to one of our projects, we’ve had the opportunity to see how our workmanship performs in the real world.
And when we find something that could be better, we don’t want to simply repair it and move on.
We ask:
Why did it happen?
Could we build it differently?
How do we keep it from happening to another customer?
Those questions have led to real changes in the way we build our fences and decks.
And that process never stops.
We’re not claiming that nothing will ever go wrong. That’s exactly why warranties exist.
What we’re saying is something different:
If something can be built better, we want to know about it. And when we learn a better way, we change the way we build.
Wood projects require proper care
There is one important requirement to our five-year warranty when it comes to wood fences and wood decks:
The wood must be stained within the first year.
We didn’t add this requirement as a way to avoid standing behind our work. In fact, it’s just the opposite.
We added it because we want your fence or deck to last.
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear in our industry is that a new wood fence or deck doesn’t need to be stained. We’ve met countless homeowners who were told exactly that.
We strongly disagree.
Exterior wood needs to be maintained.
From the day your fence or deck is built, it’s exposed to sunlight, rain, moisture, temperature changes and the elements. Over time, that exposure can dry the wood, discolor it, contribute to cracking and checking, and shorten its useful life.
We sometimes compare it to taking care of your skin.
You use sunscreen to help protect your skin from the sun, and moisturizer to help keep it from drying out. Exterior wood needs protection for many of the same reasons. A quality stain helps protect the wood from UV exposure and moisture while helping it maintain its appearance and performance.
That’s why our five-year workmanship warranty on wood projects requires the fence or deck to be stained within the first year.
We believe there’s a shared responsibility when it comes to making a wood project last.
Our responsibility is to build it correctly and stand behind our workmanship. Your responsibility is to properly maintain the wood after we leave.
When we both do our part, we’re giving your fence or deck the best opportunity to perform the way it should for years to come.
And we’d rather be completely upfront about that requirement than tell a homeowner that exterior wood requires no maintenance.
We care about how your project looks and performs years from now. Not just how it looks the day we finish it.
More than a warranty
Our five-year warranty gives our customers peace of mind knowing that we’re going to stand behind our workmanship.
But to us, it represents something bigger.
It’s accountability.
It gives us the opportunity to learn from the projects we’ve built, improve our construction methods and continue raising our own standards.
Our warranty has helped us identify things that could be improved, make changes to the way we build and reduce the likelihood that the same issue will happen to another customer.
That’s something we’re proud of.
Our five-year warranty doesn’t just protect our customers. It has helped make us a better company.
And when your project is finished, we shake hands and our trucks pull away, we want you to know one thing:
If you need us, we’re still your contractor.

We love our new deck and have gotten many compliments on it. They did such a nice job, we're going to do another one!
“Great work would definitely use them again.”
The Total Home Fence and Deck crew did a great job in a timely manner facing multiple rain days and the heat. They built a set of stairs from my existing deck and screened in our porch. Great work would definitely use them again.
“Courteous and very knowledgeable”
Brian from Total Home & Deck came out on time and was very helpful to our needs. He was courteous and very knowledgeable about the process. I would definitely encourage others to reach out to this company.
