Higher Standard.
My name is Pete Welch. For three decades, I’ve turned structural challenges into outdoor oases. But I know that high-end craftsmanship means nothing without trust.
As a husband of 17 years and a father of four, I believe the core principles of family—honesty and respect—should be reflected in every deck we build. We don’t just build for your home; we build for the memories your family will make there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clarity is the foundation of every great build. Find answers to our most frequent inquiries regarding structural design, material longevity, and the Welch Standard of construction.
How long does the typical transformation take?
Most of our custom deck transformations in Lawrence are completed within 2 weeks once construction begins. We prioritize a "clean site" policy, meaning we minimize the impact on your daily life and yard while our master craftsmen are on-site.
Do you handle the permits and HOA approvals?
Absolutely. Part of the professional service at Welch Contracting is handling the "heavy lifting" behind the scenes. We manage all city permitting and provide the necessary architectural documentation for HOA approvals, ensuring your project is 100% compliant and stress-free.
What is the actual lifespan of Performance Composite vs. Traditional Wood?
Traditional pressure-treated wood is beautiful but requires annual staining and typically lasts 10–15 years. Our Performance Composite and PVC options (sourced from KC Deck Supply) come with 25-year to limited lifetime warranties against fading, staining, and rot, making them the superior choice for long-term home value.
How far out is your build calendar?
Because we focus on quality over quantity and maintain a small, highly skilled team, our calendar typically stays booked 2 to 3 months in advance. We recommend starting your consultation today to secure a spot for the upcoming season.
