You’re tired of looking at that empty backyard space, knowing it could be so much more. A properly built deck changes everything. Suddenly you have room for morning coffee, weekend BBQs, and those family moments that matter most.
No more cramped indoor entertaining. No more wishing you had somewhere decent to sit outside. Just a beautiful, functional space that makes your home feel bigger and your lifestyle better.
The best part? A well-built deck pays you back. Most homeowners recoup around 75% of their investment in increased home value, making this one of the smartest improvements you can make.
We’ve been building decks for Farmingville homeowners who want quality work without the runaround. We understand Long Island’s weather challenges—the humid summers, harsh winters, and everything in between.
That’s why we focus on materials and construction methods that actually hold up here. While other contractors cut corners, we build decks that last decades, not just a few seasons.
Our local knowledge matters. We know Brookhaven’s permit requirements, the soil conditions in this area, and which materials perform best in our climate. When you work with us, you’re getting contractors who understand what works in Farmingville specifically.
First, we come out to see your space and understand what you want. We’ll discuss materials, size, and features while explaining what works best for your specific situation and budget.
Next, we handle the permits and planning. Brookhaven requires permits for decks over 100 square feet or 30 inches high, and we take care of all that paperwork so you don’t have to navigate town hall.
Then we build. Our crew shows up when promised, works efficiently, and cleans up each day. We use proper footings, quality materials, and construction methods that meet or exceed local building codes.
Finally, we walk through everything with you to make sure you’re completely satisfied. You get a deck that’s built right, looks great, and will serve your family for decades to come.

We work with both composite and wood decking, and we’ll help you choose what’s right for your situation. Composite costs more upfront but requires virtually no maintenance—no staining, sealing, or replacing boards that rot or warp.
Wood decking gives you that classic look at a lower initial cost, but you’ll spend time and money on maintenance every few years. For busy Farmingville families, composite often makes more sense long-term.
Either way, we use materials designed for our climate. Long Island’s humidity and temperature swings are tough on outdoor structures, so we stick with proven options that won’t let you down. The last thing you want is a deck that looks great for two years, then starts falling apart.
Yes, Brookhaven requires building permits for any deck larger than 100 square feet or higher than 30 inches above ground level. This covers most decks people actually want to build.
The permit process involves submitting detailed plans, paying fees, and having the work inspected. We handle all of this for you, including the paperwork and dealing with the building department. It typically takes 2-4 weeks to get permits approved, depending on the complexity of your project.
Don’t skip the permit. Building without one can result in fines, having to tear down your deck, and problems when you try to sell your home. It’s not worth the risk when we can handle the permit process as part of your project.
Most deck projects in our area run between $3,000 and $15,000, depending on size, materials, and features. A basic 12×16 pressure-treated wood deck might cost around $4,000-6,000, while a larger composite deck with railings and stairs could run $10,000-15,000.
The biggest cost factors are size and materials. Composite decking costs more upfront but saves money long-term because it doesn’t need regular maintenance. Wood is cheaper initially but requires staining and sealing every few years.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees. Just honest pricing for quality work that adds real value to your home.
Composite decking performs better in Long Island’s climate. Our humid summers and freeze-thaw cycles are tough on wood, leading to warping, splitting, and rot over time. Composite materials resist these problems and maintain their appearance year after year.
Wood decking can work well here, but it requires consistent maintenance. You’ll need to clean, stain, and seal it regularly to prevent moisture damage and UV fading. Miss a year or two of maintenance, and you’ll start seeing problems.
If you want something that looks good with minimal upkeep, composite is worth the extra cost. If you don’t mind regular maintenance and prefer the natural wood look, quality pressure-treated lumber or cedar can work well with proper care.
Most decks take 3-7 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. A simple rectangular deck might be done in 2-3 days, while a multi-level deck with custom features could take a week or more.
Weather can affect timing, especially during concrete work for footings. We need dry conditions for proper curing, so rain might add a day or two to the schedule. We’ll keep you updated if weather causes delays.
The permit process adds 2-4 weeks before we can start construction. We recommend starting the permit application early, especially during busy spring and summer months when everyone wants their deck built. Planning ahead helps ensure your project stays on schedule.
Yes, we warranty our workmanship and many of the materials we install come with manufacturer warranties. Our installation work is guaranteed against defects for two years from completion.
Composite materials typically come with 25-50 year warranties against fading, staining, and structural issues. Wood materials have shorter warranties, but we use quality lumber that’s designed to last when properly maintained.
We also provide 24/7 emergency service if something unexpected happens. While deck emergencies are rare, we’re available if you need us. Our goal is your complete satisfaction with a deck that serves your family well for decades.
Absolutely. We handle everything from replacing a few damaged boards to complete deck rebuilds. Often, the structure is still solid but the decking boards need replacement, which costs much less than starting over.
We’ll inspect your existing deck and give you honest advice about what needs attention. Sometimes it’s just cleaning and re-staining. Other times, structural repairs are needed for safety. We’ll explain your options and help you make the most cost-effective decision.
If your deck is beyond repair, we can often reuse the existing footings and some framing, which saves time and money. Every situation is different, but we’ll find the most practical solution for your specific needs and budget.
