Picture stepping out your back door onto a beautiful deck that actually adds value to your home. No more cramped indoor gatherings or wasted backyard potential.
Your new deck becomes the place where morning coffee tastes better, weekend barbecues feel more spacious, and property values climb. Whether you choose low-maintenance composite or classic wood construction, you get a space designed for Long Island’s coastal climate.
The right deck doesn’t just expand your square footage. It expands how you live, entertain, and enjoy your Brookhaven home year-round.
We understand what works in Brookhaven’s coastal environment. We’ve been serving Long Island homeowners who need decking solutions that handle salty air, seasonal weather changes, and the demands of year-round outdoor living.
Our team knows local building codes, permit requirements, and the materials that perform best in Suffolk County’s climate. From composite decking that never needs staining to pressure-treated wood that stands up to coastal conditions, we match the right solution to your specific needs.
When you work with us, you’re working with contractors who’ve built hundreds of decks across Brookhaven and understand exactly what it takes to create outdoor spaces that last.
We start with a site visit to your Brookhaven property to discuss your vision, measure your space, and assess any site-specific considerations like drainage, access, or existing structures.
Next, we handle the permit process with the Town of Brookhaven Building Division, ensuring your deck meets all local codes and setback requirements. Our team prepares detailed plans that satisfy building inspectors while bringing your design ideas to life.
Construction begins with proper foundation work and framing, followed by decking installation, railings, and any custom features you’ve requested. We clean up daily and complete most deck projects within the scheduled timeframe, so you can start enjoying your new outdoor space as quickly as possible.

Brookhaven’s location near the coast means your deck faces unique challenges. Salt air, humidity, and temperature fluctuations can damage inferior materials, but the right decking choices thrive in these conditions.
Composite decking offers the look of natural wood without the constant maintenance demands. These materials resist rot, insects, and weather damage while maintaining their appearance for decades. Popular brands like Trex and TimberTech are made from recycled materials, giving you an eco-friendly option that performs beautifully.
For homeowners who prefer natural wood, we recommend pressure-treated lumber or cedar that’s specifically suited for Long Island’s climate. These materials offer classic beauty with proper treatment and maintenance schedules designed for coastal environments.
Yes, most deck construction in Brookhaven requires a building permit. The Town of Brookhaven requires permits for decks over 8 inches in height, and decks over 4 feet above grade must maintain specific setback requirements.
The permit process involves submitting detailed construction plans, property surveys, and ensuring compliance with the New York State Building Code. We handle the permit application process, including preparing the required documentation and coordinating with building inspectors.
Skipping the permit process can result in fines and complications when selling your home, so it’s always worth doing things properly from the start.
Composite decking combines wood fibers with plastic to create boards that look like wood but require virtually no maintenance. You’ll never need to stain, seal, or refinish composite materials, and they resist rot, insects, and weather damage that can affect traditional wood.
Wood decking offers natural beauty and can be more cost-effective initially, but requires regular maintenance including cleaning, staining, and sealing every few years. In Brookhaven’s coastal environment, this maintenance becomes even more critical due to salt air and humidity.
Both materials can create beautiful decks, but composite typically offers better long-term value for homeowners who want to minimize ongoing maintenance while maximizing durability in coastal conditions.
Most residential deck installations in Brookhaven take between 3-7 days, depending on the size, complexity, and materials chosen. Simple rectangular decks with standard railings typically complete faster, while multi-level designs or decks with built-in features require additional time.
Weather can affect the timeline, especially during Long Island’s winter months or during heavy rain periods. We schedule projects with realistic timelines and communicate any delays immediately.
The permit approval process adds time before construction begins, typically 2-3 weeks for standard residential decks. We coordinate this process to minimize delays and keep your project moving forward efficiently.
Brookhaven’s coastal location means your deck faces salt air, humidity, and temperature fluctuations that can damage some materials. Composite decking performs exceptionally well because it won’t rot, warp, or require regular refinishing despite these challenging conditions.
For wood options, pressure-treated lumber and cedar offer good performance with proper maintenance. These materials resist moisture and insect damage when maintained according to manufacturer recommendations, which includes regular cleaning and periodic sealing.
We avoid materials that don’t handle coastal conditions well, and we’ll recommend specific products based on your budget, maintenance preferences, and the specific microclimate around your Brookhaven property.
Yes, we regularly design and build decks around existing pools, mature landscaping, and other backyard features in Brookhaven. These projects require careful planning to protect existing elements while creating seamless integration with your new deck.
Pool decks require specific materials and construction techniques to handle moisture and meet safety codes. We use slip-resistant materials and ensure proper drainage to prevent water accumulation around pool areas.
Working around established landscaping involves protecting root systems, adjusting foundation placement, and sometimes modifying deck designs to preserve mature trees or garden areas that add value to your property.
Deck installation costs in Brookhaven vary based on size, materials, complexity, and site conditions. Basic pressure-treated wood decks typically cost less initially, while composite materials require higher upfront investment but offer long-term savings through reduced maintenance.
We provide detailed estimates that include all materials, labor, permits, and any site preparation required for your specific project. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden fees or surprise charges after work begins.
The best approach is scheduling a free consultation where we can assess your specific needs, discuss material options, and provide an accurate estimate based on your actual project requirements rather than generic pricing.
