Custom Deck & Pergola Builder in Kansas City

Cedar and composite decks, handcrafted pergolas, and covered outdoor rooms built for Kansas City's entertaining season.

Est. 2020 · Harrisonville, Missouri · Serving the Kansas City Metro

The best room in a Kansas City home from April to October isn't inside the house. We design and build outdoor living spaces that earn their keep all season long.

JD Build's outdoor work runs from expansive lakeside composite decks to handcrafted cedar pergolas with lattice privacy screens, covered decks with skylights and tongue-and-groove ceilings, and deck-and-patio combinations that tie the whole backyard together. We design for how you'll actually use the space — morning coffee, game-day crowds, quiet evenings on the water — and build it to stand up to Missouri weather.

Based in Harrisonville, we build decks and pergolas across the metro, with regular projects in Lee's Summit, Raymore, Belton, and Grandview. Every build gets owner-led attention on site, structural work that's done right under the boards, and finish details that make the difference between a deck and an outdoor room.

What Does a Deck or Pergola Cost?

Size, materials, and elevation drive the number — honest pricing starts with your yard and your plans.

A ground-level cedar deck and an elevated composite build with custom railing are very different investments. After your free consultation you'll get a detailed, line-item proposal — no vague allowances, no surprises.

We're rarely the lowest bid — we are the one you won't have to call back.

Common Questions

Deck & Pergola FAQs

How much does a deck cost?

Deck costs depend on size, materials, elevation, and custom features like built-in seating, lighting, or multi-level layouts. A straightforward ground-level deck with pressure-treated lumber is a very different investment than an elevated composite deck designed for Kansas City's outdoor entertaining season. We'll walk through your options and provide a detailed estimate during a free consultation.

Cedar or composite — which decking should I choose?

We build with both, and the right answer depends on how you'll use the space. Cedar offers natural warmth and a lower upfront cost, but needs regular sealing or staining to stand up to Kansas City's freeze-thaw seasons. Composite costs more up front but holds its color and resists moisture with almost no maintenance. We'll show you samples of each and talk honestly about the long-term trade-offs for your project.

What's your availability like?

Our schedule fills up fast, especially heading into Kansas City's peak building season in spring and summer. We typically book projects a few weeks out, so the sooner you reach out, the sooner we can get you on the calendar. Contact us to discuss your timeline and we'll give you an honest read on current availability.
