Decks built on a structure that lasts
Wood and composite decks with framing, railings, and stairs detailed for outdoor exposure rather than assembled to look right on day one.
Overview
Outdoor space built on a structure that stays solid, with the framing and connections detailed to last outdoors.
What deck construction involves
A deck is a structure first and a surface second. Footings, framing, and the connection to the house determine whether it stays solid; the decking is what you walk on and look at.
The ledger connection where the deck meets the house deserves particular attention, because poor flashing there causes problems inside the wall long before anything looks wrong outside.

What you get
Structure before surface
Footings, framing, and connections are what determine whether a deck stays solid. The decking on top is the part you see, not the part that holds it up.
Wood or composite, chosen honestly
We will talk through the real trade-offs in cost, appearance, and maintenance instead of steering you to one material.
Railings and stairs detailed properly
Stairs and railings take the most load and the most wear, so they are built and fixed accordingly.
Before & after
Completed deck construction projects will be documented here with same-angle before-and-after photography.
Project photography is being prepared. In the meantime, see our before & after comparisons and recent projects.
