You get a deck that actually works for your life. Not just something that looks good for a few months, but a solid outdoor space where your family gathers for years to come.
Your property value goes up. Your entertaining options expand. You finally have that outdoor space you’ve been thinking about—built to handle everything from summer barbecues to quiet morning coffee.
The right deck changes how you use your home. It gives you room to breathe, space to host, and a reason to spend more time outside instead of cramped indoors.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been serving Huntington homeowners with quality construction for years. We know the local building codes, understand how Long Island weather affects outdoor structures, and have built decks that are still solid decades later.
You’re not getting a fly-by-night crew or someone learning on your project. We’re a local company with roots in the community and a reputation that depends on doing the job right the first time.
We’ve seen what works in Huntington’s climate and what doesn’t. That experience shows in every deck we build.
First, we come out to look at your space and talk through what you want. No pressure, just honest conversation about what’s possible and what it’ll cost.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the permits and planning. You don’t have to figure out building codes or worry about inspections—we take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to.
Then we build your deck. Clean work site, professional crew, and we clean up when we’re done. You get updates along the way so you know exactly where things stand.

You get options that make sense for Long Island living. Pressure-treated lumber that handles moisture and temperature swings. Composite decking that looks great without the constant maintenance. PVC materials that won’t warp, crack, or need annual staining.
Huntington’s weather is tough on outdoor structures. Harsh winters, humid summers, and everything in between. The materials we use are chosen specifically because they hold up to what this area throws at them.
Every deck includes proper drainage, appropriate spacing, and structural support that exceeds local requirements. You’re not getting the minimum—you’re getting a deck built to last.
Most residential decks take 3-5 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. Weather can add a day or two, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine.
The timeline includes everything from initial framing to final railings and cleanup. Larger decks or those with custom features like built-in seating or multi-levels may take up to a week.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. No surprises, no dragging projects out longer than necessary.
Wood decking costs less upfront but requires regular maintenance—staining, sealing, and eventual board replacement. Pressure-treated lumber is the most common choice and handles Long Island weather well with proper care.
Composite decking costs more initially but needs almost no maintenance. It won’t splinter, warp, or need staining. It’s made from recycled wood fibers and plastic, so it looks like wood but performs better long-term.
For most Huntington homeowners, composite pays for itself within 5-7 years when you factor in maintenance costs and time saved. Wood makes sense if you’re on a tight budget or prefer the natural look.
Yes, most deck projects in Huntington require permits, especially if the deck is attached to your house or over a certain height. The permit process ensures your deck meets local building codes for safety and structural integrity.
Expressway handles all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. We know exactly what Huntington requires and have relationships with local inspectors that keep things moving smoothly.
Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it can cause major problems when you sell your home or if there’s ever an insurance claim. Better to do it right from the start.
Deck costs vary based on size, materials, and complexity, but most Huntington homeowners spend between $15,000-$35,000 for a quality deck. Basic pressure-treated wood decks start around $12,000, while premium composite decks can reach $40,000 or more.
The investment typically returns 60-80% of the cost in added home value, plus you get immediate enjoyment and expanded living space. Higher-end materials cost more but often provide better long-term value through reduced maintenance.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you know exactly where your money goes. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
Wood decks in Huntington need annual inspection and cleaning, plus staining or sealing every 2-3 years. You’ll also need to check for loose boards, protruding nails, and signs of rot or insect damage.
Composite decks require much less maintenance—mainly periodic cleaning with soap and water. No staining, sealing, or worry about splinters. They handle freeze-thaw cycles better than wood.
Both types benefit from keeping debris cleared and ensuring proper drainage. Long Island’s humidity and winter weather can be tough on any outdoor structure, but proper maintenance keeps your deck safe and attractive for decades.
Many deck problems can be repaired if caught early—loose railings, damaged boards, or minor structural issues. If the frame and support posts are solid, deck repair often makes financial sense.
However, if you’re seeing widespread rot, structural sagging, or foundation problems, replacement is usually the safer and more cost-effective option. Trying to patch major structural issues often leads to ongoing problems.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of your deck’s condition and explain your options. Sometimes a partial rebuild—keeping good structure while replacing damaged sections—splits the difference between repair and full replacement.
