Patios and Decks Built Around How You Use Your Yard
A new custom deck from Strategic Remodel is a smart investment in your home. It will enhance your home’s exterior, provide additional space for entertaining and add value to future buyers if you decide to sell. Choose from treated lumber, cedar, or maintenance-free composite decking. Finish options include painting or staining.
Add a custom pergola to your deck to provide light shade and create space for hanging lights or plants. Choose decorative elements such as lighting, built-in benches, and metal balusters to add interest and functionality.

Why make do with the small, standard-size concrete patio that was poured with your home was built? Strategic Remodel designs beautiful and functional custom patios that will add life to your back yard. Choose stamped or stained concrete to complement your home’s exterior. Sweeping, curved edges will create a more natural feel.

Covered Decks and Patios
Enjoy shade and shelter with a covered deck or patio. We’ll design and build a custom roof for your deck or patio, extending your living area outdoors. The roof can be either attached or detached from your home. Lighting and fans can be added for additional comfort.
Take it one step further with a screened-in deck or porch, and enjoy outdoor living free of mosquitoes, flies, and other pests.
Garden Trellis
An architectural element, such as a garden trellis, is a functional way to add interest, privacy and shade to your back yard. They can be used to provide shade for garden plants and a foundation for climbing vines. A trellis can hide unsightly elements such as electrical transformer boxes and trash cans. Many homeowners use a trellis to separate their outdoor living space into different areas or help block the Kansas wind.
Strategic Remodel can design and build a custom garden trellis to suit your property’s unique needs.

Outdoor Living Spaces FAQs
How much does it cost to build a deck in Wichita?
It depends on size, materials, and complexity.
A basic pressure-treated wood deck costs less than composite with built-in lighting and custom railings. An elevated deck with stairs requires more materials and labor than a ground-level platform. Features like pergolas or multi-level designs increase cost.
We price each project based on what it takes to deliver the results you’re after. When you schedule a consultation, we’ll assess your space and provide a detailed breakdown – no vague estimates.
Should I build my own deck or hire a contractor?
It depends on your skill level, your timeline, and how much risk you’re willing to take on.
Building a deck involves structural load calculations, proper footing depth, ledger board attachment, joist spacing, code compliance, and drainage. If any of that’s done wrong, you end up with a deck that sags, shifts, or fails inspection – and fixing it costs more than hiring a pro in the first place.
When you hire a licensed contractor like us, they pull the permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver a deck that’s built to code. You get it done right the first time. If you’re not confident handling all of that, hire a contractor.
What is the best decking material - wood or composite?
It depends on your budget, your maintenance tolerance, and how long you plan to stay.
Pressure-treated wood costs less upfront but requires regular staining, sealing, and board replacement. Composite costs more upfront but requires almost no maintenance – no staining, no sealing, no warping. It holds up better in Wichita’s weather and appeals to buyers who don’t want the upkeep.
We’ll walk you through both options during your consultation so you can make the decision that fits your budget and timeline.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most deck projects take 1–3 weeks, depending on size and complexity.
A simple ground-level deck goes faster. Elevated decks with stairs, railings, and custom features take longer. Permitting adds time on the front end – we build that into the schedule. Weather can impact the timeline, especially for footings or materials that need dry conditions.
Before we start, we’ll walk you through a detailed timeline so you know when work begins, when inspections happen, and when your deck will be ready.
