Our Services in Shawnee
Custom Deck Building & Replacement
Older Shawnee homes frequently have decks that were added twenty or thirty years ago and no longer match how the home is used, or current building code. We replace them outright: full tear-out, then a new custom deck engineered for your yard’s slope and your family’s habits, in wood or low-maintenance composite with lumber from Owen Lumber. On newer west-side homes, we design and build first decks that make the backyard the best room in the house. Explore deck building.


Exterior Painting
Mature trees are gorgeous, but shade and moisture are tough on paint and wood siding. Our exterior work starts with honest surface assessment and serious prep, then premium Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore coatings. Details at exterior painting.
Interior Painting
Updating a mid-century interior or repainting after a remodel? Our interior painting crews deliver crisp results with eco-friendly low- and zero-VOC paint options.


Wood Rot Repair
This one matters in Shawnee. Older homes plus shade plus Kansas humidity equals rot in fascia, window sills, and trim. Painting over it just hides the problem for a season. We remove the compromised wood, rebuild with materials from Schutte Lumber, and finish it to match. See wood rot repair.
Concrete
Settled walkways and cracked driveways are common on older lots. Our concrete team pours new patios, walkways, and driveways with proper drainage and base work.

Why Shawnee homeowners choose Gladiator
Established homes deserve contractors who respect them. Our estimators check the structure behind the surface, like the framing under a deck plan and the wood under the paint, so the quote you get reflects what your Shawnee home actually needs. That honesty is a big part of a 4.9★ Google rating built across 1,000+ metro projects, every one backed by our 1-year workmanship guarantee. Read more about our team.
Helpful Answers for Shawnee Homeowners
Shawnee FAQs
In case you missed anything and had some more questions.
Who pulls the deck permit in Shawnee?
We do. Deck construction in Shawnee requires a building permit, and we manage the full process with the City of Shawnee: drawings, submission, and inspections included.
Can you replace a deck and fix rotted siding in one project?
Yes, and it’s often the smart way to do it. The crews coordinate, and you deal with one schedule and one point of contact instead of two contractors.
Is composite decking overkill for an older home?
Not at all. Composite pairs well with established homes because it eliminates the staining cycle, and today’s boards come in woodgrain tones that suit mature, tree-lined lots. We’ll show you samples of both at your estimate.
How long will my Shawnee deck project take?
Plan on one to two weeks of construction after the permit is approved. If wood rot repair or painting is bundled in, we sequence the trades so the total timeline stays tight.
