We install both composite and wood decking, depending on your preferences and budget. Composite materials like Trex and TimberTech resist fading, scratching, and moisture damage—perfect for Mecox’s coastal environment.
For traditional wood lovers, we use pressure-treated lumber and cedar that’s properly sealed for marine conditions. All fasteners are stainless steel or coated to prevent rust and corrosion.
Local building codes require specific foundation depths and railing heights. We ensure your deck meets all Nassau County requirements, including proper drainage and structural support. This isn’t just about passing inspection—it’s about building something that lasts decades.
Deck costs in Mecox typically range from $25-$80 per square foot, depending on materials and complexity. A standard 12×16 composite deck with railings usually runs $12,000-$24,000 installed.
Wood decking costs less upfront but requires ongoing maintenance. Composite costs more initially but saves money long-term through reduced upkeep and longer lifespan.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs. No hidden fees or surprise charges—you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Yes, Nassau County requires permits for most deck installations. The permit process ensures your deck meets structural and safety requirements.
We handle all permit applications, including submitting plans and scheduling required inspections. This includes foundation inspection before pouring concrete, framing inspection before installing decking, and final inspection.
Permit costs typically run $200-$500 depending on deck size and complexity. It’s worth it for the legal protection and peace of mind that your deck is built to code.
Composite decking performs best in Mecox’s coastal environment. Materials like Trex and TimberTech resist salt air, moisture, and UV damage without requiring annual staining or sealing.
For wood options, pressure-treated lumber and cedar work well when properly maintained. However, they require regular cleaning, staining, and sealing to prevent rot and weathering.
PVC decking offers the highest durability but costs more upfront. We’ll recommend the best option based on your budget, maintenance preferences, and aesthetic goals.
Most residential deck installations take 3-7 days, depending on size and complexity. Weather can extend timelines, especially during winter months.
The permit process adds 2-3 weeks before construction begins. We submit applications early to minimize delays and keep you informed throughout the approval process.
Complex designs with multiple levels, built-in features, or challenging access may take longer. We provide realistic timelines upfront and communicate any changes immediately.
A professionally installed deck typically adds 65-75% of its cost to your home’s value. In Mecox’s market, quality outdoor living spaces are highly desirable.
The key is professional installation with proper permits and quality materials. DIY decks or unpermitted work can actually hurt property values and create liability issues.
Composite decking tends to provide better return on investment than wood due to its low maintenance requirements and longer lifespan. Buyers appreciate outdoor spaces they won’t need to replace or extensively maintain.
Composite decking in Mecox requires minimal maintenance—mainly periodic cleaning with soap and water. No staining, sealing, or painting needed.
Salt air can leave deposits that should be rinsed off occasionally. Power washing once or twice yearly keeps the deck looking new. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the surface.
Most composite manufacturers offer 25-year warranties covering fading and staining. This makes composite an excellent long-term investment for coastal properties where maintenance access can be challenging.
