You want a deck that actually lasts in Montauk’s coastal environment. Not one that warps after two seasons or needs constant repairs because the contractor cut corners.
When your deck is properly built with the right materials, you get years of worry-free entertaining, family dinners, and quiet mornings with coffee. No splinters, no rotting boards, no safety concerns with loose railings.
The difference is in the details—marine-grade hardware, proper drainage, materials designed for salt air exposure. Your deck becomes the space you actually use, not the project you regret.
We’ve been building decks across Long Island since 2002. We’re a family-owned company that understands what Montauk’s weather does to outdoor structures.
We’ve seen plenty of deck failures from contractors who don’t understand coastal conditions. Salt air isn’t just salty—it’s corrosive. Wind doesn’t just blow—it carries sand that acts like sandpaper on your deck surface.
That’s why we use marine-grade fasteners, proper flashing, and materials specifically chosen for coastal environments. Your neighbors trust us because we do the job right the first time.
First, we assess your space and discuss what you want from your deck. Entertainment space? Quiet retreat? Pool access? Your lifestyle drives the design.
Next, we handle permits and plan the structure. Proper foundation work matters in coastal areas—we account for soil conditions, drainage, and wind loads that many contractors ignore.
Installation typically takes a week for most decks. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and keep you informed throughout the process. When we’re done, you have a deck that’s ready for decades of use, not just the next season.

Montauk’s location means your deck faces unique challenges. Salt air accelerates corrosion. High humidity promotes mold and rot. Strong coastal winds test every connection.
We install Trex composite decking, PVC materials like AZEK, and properly treated wood options. Composite decking made from 95% recycled materials gives you the wood look without the maintenance—no annual staining, no splinters, no rot.
For traditional wood lovers, we use marine-grade hardware and proper sealing techniques. Every material choice considers Montauk’s specific environmental conditions, from the foundation up to the railings.
Composite decking like Trex and PVC materials like AZEK perform exceptionally well in coastal areas. They resist salt air corrosion, won’t rot from humidity, and don’t require annual maintenance like traditional wood.
If you prefer wood, we recommend pressure-treated lumber with marine-grade hardware and proper sealing. The key is using materials specifically designed to handle moisture, salt exposure, and UV damage from constant sun reflection off the water.
We avoid untreated wood and standard hardware in coastal installations. The extra cost for proper materials pays for itself by eliminating premature replacement and constant repairs.
Most deck installations take 5-7 days, depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect timing—we don’t install during storms or when high winds make work unsafe.
The process includes foundation work, framing, decking installation, and railing completion. We handle permit applications beforehand, which typically take 2-3 weeks for approval in Montauk.
Complex designs with multiple levels, built-in features, or challenging access may take longer. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed of any changes due to weather or unforeseen conditions.
Composite decks require minimal maintenance, not zero maintenance. You’ll need to clean them annually with soap and water to remove dirt, pollen, and salt residue that accumulates in coastal areas.
Unlike wood decks, you won’t need to sand, stain, seal, or replace rotted boards. No splinters to worry about, no annual refinishing projects. The biggest maintenance task is keeping drainage clear and occasionally tightening hardware.
In Montauk’s environment, this represents huge time and cost savings compared to wood decks that need power washing, sanding, and restaining every 2-3 years.
Composite materials cost more upfront—typically $15-30 per square foot for materials versus $4-9 for cedar. However, the lifetime cost often favors composite due to eliminated maintenance expenses.
Wood decks require staining every 2-3 years, power washing, and eventual board replacement. These costs add up significantly over a deck’s lifetime. Composite decks avoid these ongoing expenses.
Factor in your time value too. Composite decks let you enjoy your deck instead of maintaining it. For most Montauk homeowners, the convenience and long-term savings make composite worth the initial investment.
We install decks from early spring through late fall, typically March through November. Winter installations are possible during mild weather windows but not ideal due to material handling and curing requirements.
Spring and fall offer the best installation conditions—moderate temperatures, lower humidity, and fewer weather delays. Summer installations work well but require scheduling around high-demand periods.
We recommend planning your deck project in winter for spring installation. This gives time for design, permits, and material ordering while ensuring completion before peak outdoor season.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required for deck construction in Montauk. Building permits are required for most deck projects, and we’re familiar with local requirements.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks and requires detailed construction drawings showing foundation, framing, and safety features. We prepare all documentation and coordinate with town inspectors.
Some smaller, ground-level decks may not require permits, but it’s better to check beforehand. We evaluate your project during the initial consultation and advise on permit requirements specific to your situation.
