You know that feeling when you step outside and actually want to stay there? That’s what happens when your deck is built right.
No more avoiding your backyard because the old deck feels unsafe or looks tired. No more canceling barbecues because you don’t have the space. When we’re done, you’ll have a deck that handles everything from quiet morning coffee to weekend gatherings with extended family.
Your new deck becomes the place everyone gravitates toward. The spot where conversations happen naturally and kids actually want to spend time outside instead of glued to screens.
We’ve been serving Gordon Heights homeowners for over 20 years. We understand what works in this community and what doesn’t.
We’ve built decks for families in the wooded neighborhoods off Middle Country Road and the larger properties that make Gordon Heights unique. We know the local building codes, the soil conditions, and how Long Island’s coastal weather affects outdoor structures.
Most of our business comes from neighbors recommending us to neighbors. That happens when you show up on time, do what you say you’ll do, and stand behind your work with real warranties.
First, we come to your property and listen. What do you want this deck to do for your family? How do you plan to use it? We measure everything and check for any issues that could affect the project.
Next, we handle all the permits and paperwork. Gordon Heights has specific requirements, and we know exactly what’s needed to keep your project moving smoothly. No surprises, no delays because someone forgot to file the right forms.
Then our crew gets to work. We protect your landscaping, keep the job site clean, and build your deck with materials that will handle everything Long Island weather throws at it. When we’re finished, you get a deck that’s built to last and a warranty that backs it up.

We work with wood, composite, and PVC decking materials. Each has its place, depending on your budget, maintenance preferences, and how you plan to use your deck.
Composite decking is popular in Gordon Heights because it handles our coastal humidity and temperature swings without the constant staining and sealing that wood requires. PVC decking costs more upfront but can last 50 years with virtually no maintenance.
For families who love the natural look and don’t mind some upkeep, pressure-treated wood still makes sense. We use proper fasteners and techniques that prevent the warping and splitting that plague cheaper installations. The key is matching the right material to your specific situation and budget.
Most deck projects in Gordon Heights take 3-5 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Weather can add a day or two, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine.
We start with demolition if you’re replacing an existing deck, then move to framing, decking installation, and railings. Simple rectangular decks go faster than multi-level designs with built-in features.
The permit process adds about a week before we start construction, but we handle all of that paperwork for you. Once we begin building, you’ll see steady progress every day we’re on site.
Composite and PVC decking perform exceptionally well in our Long Island climate. They resist the moisture, salt air, and temperature fluctuations that can damage traditional wood decking over time.
Composite decking offers the best balance of appearance, durability, and cost for most Gordon Heights homeowners. It looks like natural wood but won’t crack, splinter, or require annual staining. PVC decking costs more initially but offers the longest lifespan with minimal maintenance.
Pressure-treated wood remains a solid choice if you prefer the natural look and don’t mind periodic maintenance. The key is proper installation with appropriate fasteners and drainage to prevent premature failure.
Yes, most deck projects in Gordon Heights require building permits, especially if the deck is attached to your house or elevated more than 30 inches off the ground. The permit process ensures your deck meets safety codes and structural requirements.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. This includes submitting proper plans, scheduling required inspections, and ensuring everything meets local building codes. Trying to skip permits can create problems when you sell your home.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, but it protects you by ensuring the work is done correctly and safely. It’s also required for insurance coverage if something goes wrong.
Deck costs in Gordon Heights typically range from $25-60 per square foot, depending on materials, design complexity, and site conditions. A basic 12×16 pressure-treated wood deck might cost $5,000-8,000, while a premium composite deck of the same size could run $8,000-15,000.
Factors that affect cost include material choice, railing style, built-in features like benches or planters, and site preparation requirements. Multi-level decks or those requiring significant structural work cost more than simple rectangular platforms.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. We also guarantee to beat any written quote from a licensed, insured competitor for the same scope of work.
Maintenance requirements depend entirely on your decking material. Composite and PVC decking need only occasional cleaning with soap and water, plus periodic inspection of fasteners and railings.
Wood decking requires more attention. Plan to clean and re-stain or seal your wood deck every 2-3 years, depending on sun exposure and weather conditions. Regular cleaning prevents mold and mildew buildup that can cause premature deterioration.
Regardless of material, inspect your deck annually for loose railings, protruding fasteners, or signs of structural issues. Address small problems quickly before they become expensive repairs. We provide maintenance guidelines specific to your decking material and offer ongoing service if needed.
Often, yes. Many deck problems can be addressed with targeted repairs rather than complete replacement. We can replace damaged boards, reinforce sagging joists, update railings to current codes, or resurface an existing frame with new decking material.
The decision depends on the condition of your deck’s structural frame. If the joists and support posts are solid, we can often give you a like-new deck by replacing just the surface boards and railings. This approach costs significantly less than starting from scratch.
We’ll inspect your existing deck and give you honest advice about repair versus replacement. Sometimes spending money on repairs just delays the inevitable, but other times it’s the smart financial choice that gives you many more years of safe use.
