Custom Deck Design

Every great deck begins with a great plan. Our custom design process includes site analysis and material consultation.

Composite Deck Installation

Composite materials offer a sleek, modern appearance and impressive longevity. These environmentally friendly materials combine recycled wood fibers with durable polymers, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional lumber. Available in multiple colors and finishes, composite decks require no staining or sealing, keeping your outdoor space looking pristine year-round with minimal upkeep

Pressure-Treated Wood Decks

Traditional and budget-friendly, pressure-treated decks offer strength and visual appeal. Pressure-treated wood is ideal for homeowners seeking a classic, natural wood appearance at a reasonable price. We apply high-quality sealants and finishes that enhance durability and extend the life of your deck, making it a reliable option for many years with proper maintenance.

Staining and Water Sealant

Applying a water sealant is key to protecting your deck from moisture, UV rays, and long-term wear. Sealant helps prevent cracking, warping, and rot while preserving the deck’s natural beauty. We recommend sealing your deck every 1–2 years to extend its lifespan and keep it looking great. Our team uses high-quality, weather-resistant sealants for lasting results. Regular maintenance now helps you avoid costly repairs down the road—schedule your sealing service today.

We also offer design updates that modernize outdated decks, giving you the benefits of a new structure while preserving much of your original investment.

ADA-Compliant and Accessible Decks

We specialize in building ramps, wide steps, and barrier-free access for families needing wheelchair-friendly decks.

Our goal is to create inclusive environments where everyone can comfortably enjoy outdoor living regardless of mobility.
