You’ll finally have that outdoor space where weekend barbecues feel effortless and evening conversations stretch late into the night. No more crowded indoor gatherings or wishing you had somewhere comfortable to enjoy your morning coffee outside.
Your new deck becomes the natural gathering spot where memories happen. Whether it’s birthday parties, quiet reading time, or just watching the kids play safely in a defined outdoor area, you’ll wonder how you lived without it.
The right deck doesn’t just add square footage – it changes how you use your entire property. Suddenly your backyard isn’t just grass to mow, it’s an extension of your home that actually gets used.
We’ve been serving Babylon and Suffolk County families since 2002. We’re not the guys who show up, build something quick, and disappear – we’re the local company your neighbors recommend because we’re still here when you need us.
We’ve built decks through every type of Long Island weather, from coastal storms to blazing summers. That experience shows in how we select materials, plan drainage, and handle the details that keep your deck looking great for decades.
Being family-owned means we treat your property like our own. When we’re working in your backyard, we’re representing our reputation in the community where we live and work.
We start with a free consultation at your home where we discuss your vision, measure the space, and explain your options. No pressure, no sales pitch – just honest advice about what works best for your situation and budget.
Next comes the design phase where we create detailed plans that meet Babylon’s building codes and permit requirements. We handle all the paperwork and permits so you don’t have to navigate Town Hall bureaucracy.
Construction begins with proper foundation work – the part you don’t see but determines how long your deck lasts. We build the frame, install decking boards, add railings and stairs, then clean up completely. Most deck projects are finished within a few days, weather permitting.

Composite decking has become the smart choice for Babylon homeowners who want the look of wood without constant maintenance. These materials resist fading, scratching, and staining – crucial for decks that face salt air and intense summer sun.
Pressure-treated lumber remains popular for budget-conscious projects, especially when properly maintained. We also install premium hardwoods like Ipe for clients who want natural beauty and don’t mind the upkeep.
PVC decking offers the ultimate low-maintenance solution. It never needs staining or sealing, resists mold and mildew, and comes with warranties that give you peace of mind. For Babylon’s coastal climate, it’s often the most practical long-term investment.
Yes, Babylon requires building permits for most deck projects. Any deck higher than 18 inches off the ground needs a permit and must meet specific setback requirements from property lines.
The permit process ensures your deck meets safety codes and won’t cause issues when you sell your home. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service, so you don’t have to deal with Town Hall paperwork.
Permits typically take 2-3 weeks to process, but we can often start foundation work while waiting for final approval. This keeps your project on schedule without cutting corners on compliance.
Composite decking typically costs 50-75% more upfront than pressure-treated lumber, but the total cost over 20 years often favors composite due to maintenance savings.
Wood decks need staining or sealing every 2-3 years, plus board replacement as they weather. Composite decks need only occasional cleaning with soap and water – no staining, sealing, or board replacement for decades.
For most Babylon homeowners, composite pays for itself within 10 years through avoided maintenance costs and time savings. It’s especially valuable if you’re not planning to move soon and want to enjoy your deck rather than maintain it.
Most residential decks take 2-4 days to complete once construction begins, depending on size and complexity. Simple ground-level decks often finish in 2 days, while elevated decks with stairs and railings may take 3-4 days.
Weather is the biggest variable in timing. We don’t work in rain or high winds for safety reasons, and some materials shouldn’t be installed in extreme temperatures.
The permit process adds 2-3 weeks before construction starts, but we use this time for material ordering and scheduling. Once we break ground, you’ll see steady daily progress until completion.
Composite and PVC decking perform best in Long Island’s salt air and temperature swings. These materials resist moisture, don’t expand and contract like wood, and maintain their appearance despite coastal conditions.
If you prefer natural wood, cedar and pressure-treated pine handle coastal weather better than untreated lumber. However, they still require regular maintenance to prevent salt damage and UV fading.
The key is choosing materials rated for marine environments and ensuring proper drainage and ventilation. We’ve seen too many decks fail early because the wrong materials were used for our climate.
Yes, we specialize in pool decks that meet Babylon’s safety requirements for pool areas. Pool decks must have slip-resistant surfaces and proper drainage to prevent water accumulation.
We use materials specifically rated for pool environments that resist chlorine exposure and provide safe footing when wet. Composite and PVC decking work particularly well around pools because they don’t splinter or become slippery like some wood options.
Pool deck projects also require coordination with pool equipment, lighting, and fencing requirements. We handle all these details to ensure your pool deck is both beautiful and compliant with local safety codes.
Absolutely. We repair and restore existing decks throughout Babylon, from simple board replacement to complete structural rebuilds.
Common repairs include replacing weathered boards, fixing loose railings, reinforcing sagging frames, and updating stairs that no longer meet current codes. Sometimes partial replacement is more cost-effective than full reconstruction.
We’ll assess your existing deck honestly and explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation and budget. Many deck problems can be fixed affordably if caught early, but some structural issues require complete rebuilding for safety.
