Imagine a deck that doesn’t warp after one winter. Materials that don’t fade in summer sun or crack from salt air exposure. Construction that accounts for the wind patterns and moisture challenges specific to Hampton Bays.
That’s what 22 years of coastal building experience delivers. We know which composite decking brands actually perform here, why stainless steel hardware matters, and how to handle the drainage issues that come with Long Island’s clay soil.
Your deck becomes the space you actually want to use – not something you’re constantly fixing or worrying about.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has built hundreds of decks across Hampton Bays and Suffolk County since 2001. We’re the fully licensed, bonded, and insured company locals call when they want it done right the first time.
We’ve watched other contractors use materials that fail in salt air within three years. We’ve repaired decks that started sagging because the original builder didn’t understand coastal foundation requirements. These experiences taught us what works and what doesn’t in Hampton Bays’ specific conditions.
Local homeowners trust us because we live here too. We understand the seasonal weather patterns, the soil conditions, and how to integrate new construction with the established landscapes that make Hampton Bays properties special.
We start by understanding your property’s specific challenges. Drainage patterns, wind exposure, existing structures, and how you actually plan to use the space. This isn’t just about measurements – it’s about building something that works with your lifestyle.
Permits get handled while we finalize materials and design details. Most Hampton Bays deck projects take 1-2 weeks, but we build weather delays into the schedule because you can’t control Long Island’s spring storms or winter freezes.
Construction begins with foundation work designed for coastal conditions. We use composite materials rated for salt air, stainless steel hardware that won’t corrode, and installation techniques that account for the seasonal expansion and contraction your deck will experience over decades of use.

Hampton Bays decks need materials specifically rated for coastal environments. We use Trex and TimberTech composite decking that resists fading, warping, and salt damage while requiring minimal maintenance. These aren’t the cheapest options, but they’re the ones that perform year after year.
For homeowners preferring natural materials, we source pressure-treated lumber from suppliers who understand coastal applications. PVC decking offers the ultimate in salt and moisture resistance for properties closest to the water.
Hardware selection matters as much as decking material. Stainless steel fasteners cost more than regular screws, but they won’t rust out in Hampton Bays’ salt air. We’ve seen too many beautiful decks compromised by corroded hardware that should have lasted decades.
A properly built deck with coastal-rated materials should last 20-25 years in Hampton Bays. Composite decking typically outlasts wood in salt air conditions, often reaching 30 years with minimal maintenance.
The difference comes down to material selection and installation quality. We’ve repaired decks that failed within five years because contractors used untreated lumber or regular hardware that corroded in salt air.
Our composite installations from the early 2000s still look great today. The key is using materials specifically engineered for coastal environments and installation techniques that account for seasonal weather changes Hampton Bays experiences.
Composite decking performs best in Hampton Bays’ salt air environment. Trex and TimberTech products resist UV damage, moisture absorption, and the fading that destroys cheaper materials within a few seasons.
PVC decking like AZEK offers even greater resistance to salt and moisture – it’s completely impervious to the conditions that damage other materials. For natural wood lovers, properly maintained pressure-treated lumber works well with annual sealing.
We avoid cedar and untreated woods that look beautiful initially but deteriorate rapidly in coastal conditions. The extra cost of quality materials pays for itself through reduced maintenance and longer lifespan.
Hampton Bays deck installation typically costs $30-50 per square foot, depending on materials and site complexity. Coastal construction requires specific materials and techniques that affect pricing, but prevent expensive repairs later.
Composite decking costs more upfront than pressure-treated lumber but saves money long-term through reduced maintenance. Most Hampton Bays homeowners find the investment worthwhile considering property values and the deck’s lifespan.
We provide detailed estimates breaking down material and labor costs. Every project is different based on site conditions, but we guarantee our pricing and never surprise you with hidden costs during construction.
Yes, we regularly integrate new decks with existing patios, walkways, and pool areas in Hampton Bays. Many properties have established landscaping and hardscaping that new construction should complement, not compete with.
Integration requires careful planning for proper drainage and structural connections. We often design custom railings or transition features that create seamless flow between different outdoor areas and elevation changes.
The key is understanding how different materials age and weather together. We match new construction to existing features while ensuring everything meets current building codes and safety standards.
We handle all permit applications and approvals for your Hampton Bays deck project. Local building codes have specific requirements for coastal construction, including wind load calculations and foundation specifications we know well.
The permit process typically adds one week to project timeline, but we manage this while finalizing your design details. Our experience with Hampton Bays building department streamlines approvals and avoids common delays.
We ensure your deck meets all current codes including railing heights, stair specifications, and structural requirements. This protects you during future home sales and ensures your family’s safety for years to come.
Maintenance depends on your material choice. Composite decking needs occasional cleaning with soap and water – usually twice yearly. Wood decks require annual cleaning and staining or sealing to protect against salt air damage.
Salt air accelerates wear on all materials, so we recommend inspecting fasteners and connections every six months. Catching small issues early prevents major repairs later.
We provide specific maintenance schedules for your chosen materials and offer ongoing service to keep your deck performing its best. Proper care extends lifespan significantly and protects your investment in Hampton Bays’ competitive real estate market.
