Hear from Our Customers
You get an outdoor space that actually gets used. No more staring at an empty yard wondering what could be. Instead, you have a deck that draws your family outside for morning coffee, evening dinners, and weekend gatherings that your neighbors will notice.
The right deck doesn’t just add square footage. It creates the space where your best memories happen. Summer barbecues become easier to host. Your property value jumps significantly. And you finally have that outdoor room you’ve been picturing for years.
Most homeowners see substantial returns on their deck investment, but more importantly, you get a space that changes how you live in your home.
We’ve been East Setauket’s trusted deck contractor for over 20 years. We’ve seen every type of Long Island property, from waterfront homes dealing with salt air to inland properties managing heavy snow loads.
What makes us different is simple: we’re not just deck builders. We’re roofing and home improvement specialists who understand how every part of your home works together. That means your deck gets built with the same structural expertise we bring to roofing projects.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and we guarantee to beat any written quote you receive. When you work with us, you’re working with Long Island locals who’ve built hundreds of decks in your neighborhood.
First, we meet at your property to discuss your vision, measure the space, and assess any specific challenges your yard presents. East Setauket properties often have unique considerations – from soil conditions to local building requirements – that we factor into every design.
Next, we walk you through material options. Pressure-treated wood offers affordability and traditional appeal but requires annual maintenance. Composite decking costs more upfront but lasts 25+ years with minimal care. We’ll explain the real costs and benefits so you can make the right choice for your situation.
Then we handle permits, order materials, and schedule construction. Our crews arrive on time, work efficiently, and clean up completely each day. Most deck projects complete within a few days, depending on size and complexity. You’ll have a finished deck that’s ready for your first barbecue.

Long Island weather tests every outdoor structure. Your deck needs to handle everything from summer humidity to winter freeze-thaw cycles, plus the occasional nor’easter. We only work with materials proven to perform in our climate.
Pressure-treated lumber remains popular because it’s affordable, strong, and comfortable underfoot. It requires yearly staining or sealing but can last 15+ years with proper maintenance. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects while offering beautiful grain patterns, though it commands a higher price point.
Composite decking has become increasingly popular in East Setauket because it eliminates annual maintenance while providing 25+ year lifespans. Modern composites resist fading, staining, and scratching while maintaining authentic wood appearance. PVC decking offers the longest warranties – often 30+ years – with zero maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.
We help you choose based on your budget, maintenance preferences, and how you plan to use the space. Every material we install comes with manufacturer warranties and our commitment to proper installation.
The best material depends on your budget and maintenance preferences. Pressure-treated wood costs least upfront but requires yearly staining and sealing to last 15+ years. Composite decking costs more initially but eliminates annual maintenance while lasting 25+ years.
Cedar offers natural beauty and rot resistance but requires occasional maintenance and costs more than pressure-treated options. PVC decking provides the longest warranties and zero maintenance but represents the highest upfront investment.
Most East Setauket homeowners choose either pressure-treated wood for budget-conscious projects or composite for low-maintenance solutions. We’ll walk through real costs including long-term maintenance so you can make the right choice for your situation.
Most residential decks complete within 3-5 days, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. Simple ground-level decks might finish in 2-3 days, while multi-level designs or decks requiring extensive structural work can take a week or more.
Weather affects timing, especially during Long Island’s unpredictable spring and fall seasons. We don’t pour concrete footings in freezing temperatures or install decking in heavy rain, as this compromises structural integrity.
We provide realistic timelines during your initial consultation and keep you updated if conditions change. Our crews work efficiently while maintaining quality standards, and we clean up completely each day so your property stays neat throughout construction.
Yes, most deck projects in East Setauket require building permits, especially for elevated decks or structures over certain square footage. The Town of Brookhaven, which includes East Setauket, has specific requirements for deck construction including setback distances, height restrictions, and structural specifications.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. This ensures your deck meets local building codes and won’t create issues when you sell your home. Permit requirements can seem complex, but we navigate this process regularly and know exactly what inspectors expect.
Attempting to build without permits creates serious problems down the road, from safety issues to difficulties selling your property. Working with licensed contractors who pull proper permits protects your investment and ensures code-compliant construction from the start.
Maintenance requirements depend entirely on your material choice. Pressure-treated wood decks need yearly cleaning and staining or sealing to prevent moisture damage and maintain appearance. This typically involves power washing, light sanding, and applying quality deck stain or sealer.
Composite decking requires minimal maintenance – just occasional cleaning with soap and water to remove dirt and prevent mildew buildup. Most composite manufacturers recommend yearly cleaning, but many homeowners find twice-yearly cleaning sufficient depending on exposure and use patterns.
Cedar decks need periodic cleaning and staining to maintain their natural beauty, though they’re naturally resistant to rot and insects. PVC decking needs only occasional cleaning and carries the longest warranties with virtually no maintenance requirements beyond keeping it clean.
Well-built decks typically return 60-80% of their construction cost in added home value, with some premium installations returning even more. In East Setauket’s competitive real estate market, outdoor living spaces are highly valued by buyers who want move-in ready properties.
The actual value increase depends on deck size, materials, design quality, and how well it integrates with your home’s architecture. Custom decks using quality materials and professional installation command higher returns than basic DIY projects.
Beyond immediate resale value, decks provide lifestyle benefits that many homeowners find invaluable. The ability to entertain outdoors, enjoy morning coffee in private space, or host family gatherings often justifies the investment regardless of strict financial returns. Most of our clients tell us their deck quickly becomes their favorite part of their home.
We bring over 20 years of Long Island experience plus expertise from roofing and home improvement projects that most deck-only contractors lack. This means we understand structural requirements, local building codes, and weather challenges that affect long-term performance.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured, which protects you throughout the project. We guarantee to beat any written quote you receive, and we provide 24/7 availability for questions or concerns. Our crews are employees, not subcontractors, so you get consistent quality and accountability.
Most importantly, we’ve built hundreds of decks in East Setauket and surrounding areas. We know which materials perform best in Long Island conditions, which designs work with different property types, and how to navigate local permit requirements efficiently. You get experienced professionals who stand behind their work with comprehensive warranties.
