Your deck should work as hard as you do. Not just look pretty for the first season, then become a maintenance headache you avoid.
When we build your deck in Eastport, you get outdoor space that handles everything—kids tracking sand from the beach, summer cookouts that run late, and those unpredictable Long Island storms. You get a structure that adds real value to your property, not just square footage on paper.
Most importantly, you get outdoor living space you’ll use. Morning coffee without fighting bugs. Evening dinners without crowding your kitchen. A safe place where kids can play while you actually relax. That’s what proper deck installation delivers.
Since 2001, Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been solving Long Island’s deck challenges. We’ve seen what works and what fails when salt air meets poor construction. We’ve learned which materials actually last and which ones look good in the showroom but disappoint after two seasons.
You’re not getting the new contractor trying to figure out coastal construction on your dime. You’re working with licensed, bonded, and insured professionals who’ve built hundreds of decks that still look great decades later.
When your neighbors recommend a deck contractor, they mention us because we show up when promised, work within agreed budgets, and handle problems before they become your problems.
We start with a free consultation at your property. No sales pressure—just honest assessment of what’s possible with your space, your needs, and your budget. We measure, evaluate site conditions, and discuss material options that make sense for your situation.
Once you’re ready to proceed, we handle permits and create detailed construction plans. You don’t deal with building departments or code requirements—we manage all approvals and inspections. We source quality materials and schedule construction to minimize disruption to your routine.
Construction happens efficiently with daily cleanup and clear communication about progress. Our crews arrive on schedule, work professionally, and complete thorough final inspections. We walk through everything with you, explain maintenance requirements, and ensure you’re completely satisfied before considering the job finished.

We specialize in deck construction using materials proven to perform in Long Island’s coastal environment. Composite decking that won’t warp in humidity. PVC materials that resist salt air damage. Pressure-treated lumber properly sealed for maximum longevity.
Our services include complete deck installation, structural repairs, railing replacement, and refinishing projects. We handle pool decks, multi-level designs, and custom features like built-in seating or storage. Every project includes proper foundation work, code-compliant construction, and professional finishing details.
For Eastport homeowners, we understand coastal construction challenges other contractors miss. Salt air corrodes hardware faster. Humidity affects wood differently. Seasonal temperature swings stress materials in specific ways. We’ve been solving these problems for over two decades, so your deck performs properly year after year.
Composite and PVC decking materials excel in Eastport’s coastal climate because they resist salt air corrosion, moisture damage, and temperature fluctuations that destroy traditional wood over time. These materials maintain appearance without annual staining, won’t splinter with bare feet, and handle humidity without warping.
Many homeowners still prefer natural wood’s appearance. If you choose wood decking, we recommend pressure-treated pine or cedar with marine-grade sealers applied regularly. The key is understanding maintenance requirements upfront and budgeting accordingly.
During your consultation, we’ll show material samples and explain realistic performance expectations for each option. You’ll make informed decisions based on your priorities—appearance, maintenance, longevity, and budget.
Most residential deck installations in Eastport take 4-7 working days, depending on size, complexity, and site conditions. A standard 12×16 deck typically requires 4-5 days, while larger multi-level decks or those requiring extensive site preparation may take a full week.
Long Island weather affects timing, especially during spring and fall. We build realistic schedules with buffer time and communicate clearly about any delays. Quality work can’t be rushed, but we work efficiently without sacrificing important details.
We obtain all permits before starting construction, eliminating delays waiting for approvals. Our crews arrive punctually, work systematically, and maintain clean job sites. You’ll know exactly what to expect and when to expect it.
Yes, most deck installations in Eastport require building permits, particularly for decks over 30 inches high or attached to your home. Permits ensure your deck meets Suffolk County building codes for structural safety and proper construction methods.
We handle all permit applications, plan submissions, and inspection scheduling as part of our service. You don’t navigate building department requirements or coordinate with inspectors—we manage the entire approval process professionally.
Permit processing typically takes 2-3 weeks, which we factor into project timelines. Proper permits protect you legally, ensure code compliance, and maintain your home’s insurability and resale value.
We provide comprehensive warranty protection including our workmanship guarantee plus full manufacturer warranties on all materials. Our labor warranty covers installation quality, structural integrity, and code compliance for a minimum of two years from completion.
Material warranties vary by product type—composite decking typically includes 25-50 year coverage against fading, staining, and structural defects. Traditional lumber comes with manufacturer defect protection. We honor all warranties and handle claims directly.
When warranty issues arise, we respond quickly to assess and resolve problems at no cost. Our reputation depends on long-term customer satisfaction, not just initial project completion.
Absolutely. We handle everything from minor repairs like replacing damaged boards or securing loose railings to major renovations including structural reinforcement, deck expansions, and complete surface replacement.
Before recommending repairs versus full replacement, we thoroughly inspect your deck’s foundation, framing, and overall structural condition. Sometimes strategic repairs and updates make more financial sense than starting over, especially when underlying structure remains sound.
For deck expansions, we ensure new construction integrates seamlessly with existing work while meeting current building codes. We can also modernize older decks with composite surfaces, updated railing systems, or improved lighting and electrical features.
Deck installation costs depend on size, materials, design complexity, and site conditions. Basic pressure-treated wood decks typically start around $30-40 per square foot installed, while premium composite or PVC decking ranges from $45-70 per square foot.
Additional factors affecting cost include railing style, built-in features, site preparation needs, and permit fees. Multi-level decks, custom designs, or challenging access situations increase labor requirements and overall investment.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down all costs clearly—no hidden fees or surprise charges. We’ll beat any comparable written quote from licensed, insured contractors while maintaining our quality standards and warranty coverage.
