We’ve been serving Elmont and Long Island families for over 22 years. As a family-owned, fully licensed and insured contractor, we understand what works in our climate and what doesn’t.

Long Island’s humid summers and freezing winters demand materials that won’t fail when the weather gets rough. Composite decking like Trex and TimberTech resists rot, insects, and weathering while maintaining its appearance for decades. These materials don’t require annual staining or sealing like traditional wood.
For homeowners who prefer natural wood, pressure-treated lumber and cedar offer classic beauty with proper weather resistance. The 2024 building code updates require all deck components to use pressure-treated wood or durable species like redwood and cedar, ensuring your investment meets current safety standards.
In Elmont’s climate, choosing the right materials upfront saves you thousands in maintenance costs over the years. Whether you choose composite for minimal upkeep or wood for traditional appeal, proper installation techniques ensure your deck handles everything from summer storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Deck costs in Nassau County typically range from $15 to $35 per square foot, depending on materials and design complexity. A standard 12×24 foot deck generally costs between $4,200 and $9,800 for materials and installation.
Composite decking like Trex or TimberTech costs more upfront but saves money long-term through reduced maintenance. Pressure-treated wood offers lower initial costs but requires regular staining and sealing. The investment pays back through increased home value, with most homeowners seeing up to 80% return when they sell.
Your final cost depends on deck size, material choice, railing style, and any custom features like built-in seating or lighting. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re investing in.
Yes, deck construction in Nassau County requires permits to ensure safety and code compliance. The permit process involves submitting plans that show structural details, setback requirements, and material specifications.
Building without permits can create problems when you sell your home and may require expensive corrections to meet code. Permitted decks actually increase your home’s resale value because buyers know the work was done properly and inspected.
We handle all permit applications and ensure your deck meets current building codes, including the 2024 IRC updates that specify approved materials and construction methods. We work with local inspectors throughout the process so you don’t have to navigate the requirements yourself.
Composite decking performs better in Long Island’s humid climate because it resists rot, insect damage, and weathering that commonly affect wood decks. Materials like Trex and TimberTech won’t split, warp, or fade, and they don’t require annual staining or sealing.
Wood decking offers natural beauty and lower upfront costs, but it needs regular maintenance in our climate. Pressure-treated lumber and cedar provide good weather resistance, but you’ll spend time and money on staining, sealing, and occasional board replacement.
For most Elmont homeowners, composite decking makes sense because it handles our weather extremes without ongoing maintenance. You pay more initially but save significantly over the deck’s lifetime while enjoying consistent appearance and performance year after year.
Most deck projects in Elmont take about three weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect the timeline, but we work steadily through each phase of construction.
The process includes permit approval time, which varies by Nassau County’s current workload. Once permits are approved, actual construction moves quickly because we focus on one project at a time rather than juggling multiple jobs.
Complex designs with multiple levels, built-in features, or challenging site conditions may take longer. Simple deck replacements often finish faster. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated on progress throughout the project.
Many deck problems can be repaired if caught early, but waiting too long often means full replacement becomes more cost-effective. Common repairable issues include loose boards, failing railings, or minor structural problems.
Signs you need replacement include widespread rot, structural instability, or decks that don’t meet current building codes. Decks over 15-20 years old often benefit from replacement with modern materials and updated safety features.
We inspect your existing deck thoroughly and explain your options honestly. If repair makes sense, we’ll fix the problems properly. If replacement is better long-term, we’ll show you why and help you choose materials that will last decades in Long Island’s climate.
Composite decking requires minimal maintenance in Long Island’s climate – just occasional washing with soap and water to remove dirt and pollen. No staining, sealing, or special treatments needed, even through harsh winters and humid summers.
Wood decking needs annual inspection and cleaning, with staining or sealing every 2-3 years depending on weather exposure. Check for loose boards, protruding nails, and signs of rot or insect damage, especially after severe weather.
All decks benefit from keeping drainage clear and removing debris that can trap moisture. Trim vegetation that grows too close to deck boards and ensure proper airflow underneath. Regular maintenance extends your deck’s life and preserves your investment’s value.
