Picture stepping out onto a deck that’s built to handle everything North Hempstead weather throws at it. No warping boards, no constant maintenance headaches, no safety concerns keeping you awake at night.
You get a space where your family actually wants to spend time. Where morning coffee tastes better and weekend BBQs become the highlight of your neighbors’ calendars. Where you can finally use that outdoor furniture you bought years ago.
The right deck doesn’t just add square footage to your home. It adds value, curb appeal, and those moments that make homeownership worth it.
Since 2000, we’ve been the contractor North Hempstead homeowners call when they want their deck built right. We’re not the guys who show up, slap some boards together, and disappear when the first winter hits.
We’re BBB Accredited with an A+ rating because we understand what matters to you. Your deck needs to handle Long Island’s harsh winters, humid summers, and everything in between. It needs to be safe for your family and built to code.
Most importantly, it needs to be installed by people who’ve done this thousands of times before and know exactly what works in our local climate.
We start with a consultation at your home where we listen to how you want to use your deck. Family dinners? Pool parties? Quiet morning coffee? Your lifestyle drives every decision we make.
Next comes design and permits. We handle all the paperwork with North Hempstead’s building department so you don’t have to figure out setback requirements or load calculations. We know the local codes inside and out.
Then we build your deck using materials that make sense for our climate. Whether that’s pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, or PVC materials, we’ll explain why each option works and what fits your budget and maintenance preferences.

Your deck material choice matters more here than in milder climates. We work with pressure-treated lumber for traditional wood lovers, composite decking for low-maintenance convenience, and PVC materials for maximum durability.
Composite options like Trex and TimberTech resist North Hempstead’s freeze-thaw cycles without splitting or cracking. They’re slip-resistant when wet and stay cooler in summer heat. PVC decking takes it further with superior moisture resistance and virtually zero maintenance requirements.
For homeowners who love natural wood, we use properly treated lumber with the right fasteners and techniques to prevent the warping and splitting that cheaper installations suffer from. Every material gets installed with North Hempstead’s weather patterns in mind, from proper drainage to expansion gaps that prevent buckling.
Yes, you need a permit for deck construction in North Hempstead. We handle the entire permit process for you, including submitting plans to the building department and scheduling required inspections.
The permit ensures your deck meets local building codes for safety, structural integrity, and setback requirements. It also protects your home’s resale value since unpermitted work can create problems when you sell. We’ve worked with North Hempstead’s building department for over two decades, so we know exactly what they require and how to get approvals efficiently.
For North Hempstead’s harsh winters and humid summers, composite decking offers the best combination of durability and low maintenance. Materials like Trex and TimberTech resist moisture, won’t warp or split during freeze-thaw cycles, and maintain their appearance for decades.
PVC decking provides even better moisture resistance and stays cooler in summer heat, making it ideal for pool areas or south-facing locations. If you prefer natural wood, pressure-treated lumber works well when properly installed with appropriate drainage and ventilation. We’ll recommend the best option based on your specific location, sun exposure, and maintenance preferences.
Most deck installations take 3-7 days depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. Simple rectangular decks move faster, while custom designs with multiple levels, built-in features, or complex railings require more time.
Weather plays a role since we won’t install decking materials in rain or extreme temperatures that could affect quality. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated if conditions cause delays. The permit approval process typically adds 1-2 weeks before construction begins, but we handle all that coordination for you.
Composite decking requires minimal maintenance compared to wood. An annual cleaning with soap and water removes dirt and prevents mold growth in our humid climate. For tougher stains, a pressure washer on low setting works well.
Unlike wood decking, composite materials never need staining, sealing, or painting. They won’t splinter, warp, or rot, so you avoid the costly repairs that wooden decks often require after harsh North Hempstead winters. Most manufacturers provide 25-50 year warranties covering fading, staining, and structural integrity, giving you long-term peace of mind.
We can install decks during mild winter days when temperatures stay above freezing, but optimal construction happens during spring through fall. Cold weather affects material handling and can compromise installation quality for certain products.
Composite and PVC materials become more brittle in extreme cold, requiring special handling techniques. Concrete footings need proper curing temperatures, and some adhesives won’t cure properly below certain temperatures. We’ll schedule your project for the best weather window to ensure quality installation. If you’re planning a deck, early spring booking gets you on the schedule for optimal construction weather.
Deck costs vary significantly based on size, materials, and complexity. Pressure-treated wood decks typically start around $25-35 per square foot installed, while composite decking ranges from $35-50 per square foot, and premium PVC materials run $45-60 per square foot.
Additional features like custom railings, built-in seating, lighting, or multiple levels increase costs. Permit fees, site preparation, and removal of existing structures add to the total. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most homeowners find the investment pays back through increased home value and years of enjoyment.
