You’re tired of looking at that unused backyard. You want a deck that becomes the center of family barbecues, quiet morning coffee, and evening conversations. Not just another wooden platform that warps and splinters after two seasons.
Our East Patchogue deck installations give you exactly that. A custom outdoor space designed for your family’s needs, built with materials that laugh at Long Island’s salty air and changing seasons. You get more usable square footage, a significant boost to your home’s value, and the peace of mind that comes from working with contractors who’ve been doing this right for over 20 years.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been building decks across Suffolk County since 2001. We’re the contractors your neighbors call when they want it done right the first time.
We understand what East Patchogue weather does to outdoor structures. The freeze-thaw cycles, the coastal moisture, the summer heat that can warp inferior materials. That’s why we only use premium decking materials from trusted manufacturers like Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK. Your deck isn’t just another job to us – it’s an investment in your family’s outdoor living experience.
First, we visit your property to understand exactly what you want and assess your space. We handle all permit applications and building code requirements – you don’t need to spend hours at the town building department.
Next comes the design phase where we create a deck that fits your lifestyle and budget. Whether you want a simple platform for grilling or a multi-level entertainment space, we map out every detail before we break ground.
Construction happens efficiently with our experienced crew. We protect your property, work cleanly, and keep you informed every step of the way. Once we’re done, you’ll have a deck that’s ready for decades of family memories.

We install both composite and traditional wood decking, but we’ll be straight with you about what works best in East Patchogue. Composite materials like Trex and TimberTech cost more upfront but save you thousands in maintenance over the years. No staining, no sealing, no replacing warped boards.
For homeowners who prefer natural wood, we use pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and premium hardwoods. Each has its place, and we’ll explain the real-world maintenance requirements so you can make an informed decision.
East Patchogue’s coastal location means your deck faces unique challenges. Salt air accelerates deterioration of inferior materials, and our freeze-thaw cycles can destroy improperly installed decking. We’ve seen too many decks built by inexperienced contractors fail within five years. Our installations are designed to handle everything Long Island weather throws at them.
Deck costs in East Patchogue typically range from $25-30 per square foot for pressure-treated wood to $49-60 per square foot for composite materials. A standard 12×16 deck runs between $4,800-11,520 depending on materials and features.
The final price depends on your deck size, material choice, site conditions, and any custom features like built-in seating or lighting. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Yes, most deck projects in East Patchogue require building permits, especially for decks over 30 inches high or attached to your home. Each Suffolk County town has specific requirements for setbacks, height restrictions, and structural specifications.
We handle the entire permit process for you. Our team knows the local building codes and has established relationships with East Patchogue building departments. We submit all necessary paperwork, schedule inspections, and ensure your deck meets every requirement. This saves you time and prevents costly code violations down the road.
Composite decking is made from recycled wood fibers and plastic, creating a low-maintenance material that won’t rot, warp, or splinter. It costs more initially but requires only occasional cleaning with soap and water. Most composite decking comes with 25-year warranties.
Wood decking offers natural beauty and lower upfront costs but requires annual staining and sealing to prevent deterioration. In East Patchogue’s coastal climate, untreated wood can gray, split, and become unsafe within just a few seasons. We recommend composite for most homeowners who want long-term value and minimal maintenance.
Most standard deck installations take 3-7 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Simple ground-level decks can often be completed in 2-3 days, while multi-level designs with custom features may take up to two weeks.
Weather can affect timing, especially during Long Island’s wet seasons. We schedule projects realistically and keep you informed of any delays. Our crews work efficiently while maintaining the quality standards that have kept us in business for over 20 years. Rush jobs often mean corner-cutting, and that’s not how we operate.
We evaluate every deck individually to determine if repair makes financial sense. Minor issues like loose boards, failing railings, or surface staining can often be repaired cost-effectively. However, structural problems, extensive rot, or widespread board failure usually require full replacement.
During our free inspection, we’ll give you an honest assessment of your deck’s condition. Sometimes spending money on repairs just delays the inevitable replacement by a year or two. We’ll explain your options and help you make the decision that’s best for your budget and safety.
Maintenance requirements depend entirely on your material choice. Composite decks need only occasional cleaning with soap and water – no staining, sealing, or special treatments required. Most manufacturers recommend power washing once or twice per year to remove dirt and debris.
Wood decks require more attention. Pressure-treated lumber needs annual staining and sealing to maintain protection against moisture and UV damage. Without proper maintenance, wood decks in East Patchogue’s climate will deteriorate rapidly. We provide detailed care instructions with every installation and can handle ongoing maintenance if you prefer professional service.
