Tallgrass in Alma
Alma sits in Wabaunsee County. City building departments and county building divisions run different permitting processes, and which one applies to a given project depends on the property's address rather than on the kind of work being done. We confirm the right office before work starts, then manage the full permitting process ourselves from that point forward.
Alma is one of our named service areas, not a stop we only make on our way to somewhere else. The same crews who build decks and pergolas in Manhattan work on projects here, and the estimate is free in Alma the same as it is anywhere else in our service area. If you know Tallgrass mainly for decks, that is only part of what we actually do in this town.
We also install residential siding in Alma: vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood, including LP SmartSide, the engineered-wood line we are a certified installer on. Each material trades off differently on upfront cost, upkeep, and how well it holds up through hot, humid Kansas summers, sudden storms, recurring hail, and a freeze-and-thaw winter. The full siding line is available here, the same as it is anywhere else we build.
What we build in Alma
Decks
New deck construction in composite or pressure-treated lumber, plus deck refurbishment when the existing frame and footings are sound enough to build on. Railing options are part of every build.
Deck covers and screened porches
Roof covers built over a new deck or added onto one you already have, plus full screened porch conversions. All three add a space you can use through more of the year.
Pergolas
Heartland Pergolas PVC and custom cedar pergolas, built freestanding or attached over an existing deck. Both hold up well with very little upkeep.
Residential siding
We install vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood siding, each suited to a different combination of budget, upkeep, and how well it stands up to Kansas weather. The full lineup is available on every job in Alma, the same as anywhere else we build.
LP SmartSide
LP SmartSide is the engineered-wood siding line we're a certified installer on, one of the manufacturer credentials we bring to a siding job. It's part of the same siding lineup listed above.
Room additions
Stick-built room additions with real windows, built as a permanent part of the house rather than a separate structure. We handle the framing, siding match, and finish work as one project.
Why homeowners in Alma work with us
A company with a history you can check.
Tallgrass Construction has been building in this area since 2015. We're family and locally owned, licensed and insured, with over two decades of combined trade experience among our crews.
Permitting handled, whichever office it goes through.
City and county permitting are two different processes, and we confirm which one your project falls under before we start. From there, we manage the paperwork so you don't have to.
Manufacturer credentials that back up the work.
We're a certified LP SmartSide installer, a Heartland Pergolas dealer, and we build decks with TimberTech composite decking.
Built for the weather it will actually sit in.
Hot, humid summers, storms that move in fast, recurring hail, and winters that freeze and thaw all take a toll on a house's exterior. We choose materials and methods, on decks and on siding, built to handle it.

Common questions from Alma homeowners
Yes, we build decks in Alma. It's one of our named service areas, and the same crews who build in Manhattan work here too. Estimates are free everywhere we serve, including Alma, so there's no cost to find out what a project would look like on your property.
Yes, we install siding in Alma, including vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood. We're a certified LP SmartSide installer as well, so the engineered-wood option comes with that credential behind it. If you want to compare materials in more depth, our residential siding and LP SmartSide pages walk through how each one holds up.
It depends on your address. City building departments and county building divisions handle permits differently, so we check which one your project falls under before any work starts. Either way, we manage the entire permitting process ourselves, so it's never something you have to sort out on your own.
Yes. Beyond decks and siding, we also build deck covers and screened porches, pergolas, LP SmartSide siding installations, and full stick-built room additions with real windows. All six services are available in Alma, the same as they are everywhere else we work.
Cracking, bubbling, soft or spongy spots, visible warping, discoloration, gaps at the seams, or paint that won't hold anymore are all signs siding may need replacing. Any one of them is worth a closer look. Our residential siding page and our blog post on failing-siding signs cover the full diagnostic.

A deck project and a siding project can land at very different price points, so we ask for a general budget range instead of guessing at either one. That range lets us walk into the first visit with the right options already in mind, rather than pricing three different jobs blind. There's no obligation either way.
