We offer composite decking for homeowners who want the look of wood without the maintenance headaches. These materials resist fading, staining, and splintering while handling Long Island’s weather extremes.
For those preferring natural materials, we work with pressure-treated lumber and premium hardwoods. We’ll explain the maintenance requirements upfront so you can make an informed decision.
PVC decking provides the ultimate in durability and stays cooler underfoot during hot summers. Whatever material you choose, we source from manufacturers we trust and install according to their specifications, protecting your warranty and investment.
Most residential deck installations take 2-4 days, depending on the size and complexity of your project. A standard 12×16 deck typically takes 2-3 days from start to finish.
Weather can affect timing, especially during winter months when we need consecutive dry days for proper installation. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated if conditions require adjustments.
Our goal is to complete your project efficiently while maintaining the quality standards we’re known for. We’d rather take an extra day to do it right than rush and compromise the result.
Composite decking costs more upfront but requires virtually no maintenance—no staining, sealing, or replacing rotted boards. It’s made from recycled wood fibers and plastic, creating a surface that resists moisture, insects, and fading.
Wood decking, particularly pressure-treated lumber, costs less initially but requires annual maintenance. You’ll need to clean, stain, and seal it regularly, plus replace boards that split or rot over time.
For Long Island’s coastal climate with high humidity and salt air, composite often proves more cost-effective long-term. However, some homeowners prefer the natural look and feel of real wood despite the maintenance requirements.
Yes, most deck installations in Suffolk County require building permits, especially for decks attached to your home or elevated more than 30 inches above ground level.
We handle the entire permit process for you, including submitting plans, coordinating inspections, and ensuring compliance with local building codes. This protects you from potential issues when selling your home or filing insurance claims.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, which we factor into your project timeline. Having proper permits also ensures your deck is built to current safety standards and won’t create liability issues.
Maintenance depends on your decking material. Composite decking needs only periodic cleaning with soap and water, plus occasional power washing to remove dirt and debris buildup.
Wood decks require more attention. Clean them annually, inspect for loose fasteners or damaged boards, and apply stain or sealant every 2-3 years depending on exposure and wear.
Regardless of material, keep gutters clean to prevent water overflow onto your deck, trim vegetation to ensure good air circulation, and address any issues promptly before they become bigger problems.
Deck costs vary significantly based on size, materials, and complexity. A basic pressure-treated wood deck might start around $15-25 per square foot, while premium composite or PVC decking ranges from $25-45 per square foot.
Additional features like built-in seating, multiple levels, or custom railings increase costs but also add functionality and value. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Remember that a quality deck installation is a long-term investment. Choosing durable materials and professional installation often costs less over time than repeatedly repairing cheaper alternatives.
We can install decks year-round, but winter installations require more careful planning around weather conditions. We need consecutive days without precipitation for concrete footings to cure properly and materials to acclimate.
Composite and PVC materials can become brittle in extremely cold temperatures, so we store them in heated areas before installation. Wood installations are generally less weather-sensitive but still require dry conditions.
Winter installations often mean better scheduling availability and sometimes better pricing on materials. We’ll assess conditions for your specific project and recommend the best timing for optimal results.
