You get more than just boards and nails. You get a space where summer dinners happen, where your kids play safely, and where property values climb. No more staring at that unused patch of grass wondering what could be.
Your deck becomes the reason friends want to come over. The spot where morning coffee tastes better and evening conversations last longer. Built with materials that handle Long Island’s humidity without the constant maintenance headaches that come with cheaper alternatives.
The difference shows up in your daily life and your home’s market value. Both matter when you’re making this kind of investment.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been serving North Patchogue homeowners who understand that outdoor living space isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential for Long Island life. We’ve worked on properties near Gateway Plaza, around Canaan Lake, and throughout the neighborhoods between Sunrise Highway and Medford Avenue.
Your neighbors choose us because we handle permits correctly, show up when we say we will, and build decks that last through Long Island’s weather extremes. No shortcuts, no surprises, no excuses.
We start with your property and your vision. During our consultation, we assess your space, discuss materials, and provide a clear timeline and cost breakdown. No vague estimates or surprise charges later.
Once permits are secured, we prepare your site and lay the foundation properly. Foundation work isn’t glamorous, but it’s what keeps your deck level and stable for decades. We frame using pressure-treated lumber or engineered materials that meet Long Island’s building codes.
The decking installation happens fast once the frame is solid. We clean up completely and conduct a final walkthrough so you know exactly what you’re getting. Your deck is ready for that first barbecue, not months of touch-up work.

You choose between traditional pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, or PVC materials based on your budget and maintenance preferences. Pressure-treated wood costs less upfront but requires regular staining and sealing. Composite and PVC cost more initially but eliminate the maintenance cycle completely.
North Patchogue’s proximity to water means humidity and moisture are constant factors. We use materials rated for coastal conditions and install proper drainage to prevent water damage. Flashing, proper fasteners, and ventilation details matter more here than in drier climates.
Our material suppliers include established brands like TimberTech, Fiberon, and Trex. These aren’t the cheapest options, but they’re the ones that perform consistently in Long Island conditions. Your deck investment should last, not become an annual repair project.
Yes, deck construction in North Patchogue requires permits through Suffolk County. The permit process ensures your deck meets structural and safety requirements, including proper foundation depth, railing height, and load-bearing specifications.
We handle the permit application and coordinate inspections so you don’t have to navigate the county building department. Permit costs typically run $300 for plan review, plus additional fees for inspections. The process usually takes 2-3 weeks once plans are submitted.
Skipping permits creates problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims. Permitted work protects your investment and ensures your deck is built to code standards that keep your family safe.
Wood decking costs less initially but requires annual staining, sealing, and regular maintenance to prevent rot and insect damage. Long Island’s humid climate makes wood maintenance more frequent and expensive over time.
Composite decking combines wood fibers with plastic, creating boards that resist moisture, fading, and insects without annual maintenance. Initial costs run higher, but you eliminate staining, sealing, and replacement costs that add up with wood decking.
PVC decking offers the lowest maintenance option, made entirely from synthetic materials that resist moisture and stains completely. It costs the most upfront but provides the longest lifespan with minimal upkeep requirements.
Most residential deck installations take 3-5 days once permits are approved and materials arrive. Simple rectangular decks install faster, while custom designs with multiple levels or built-in features require additional time.
Weather delays are common during Long Island’s rainy seasons, so we schedule with buffer time built in. Foundation work can’t happen during heavy rain, and some materials shouldn’t be installed in extreme temperatures.
We provide realistic timelines during your consultation and update you if conditions change. Rush jobs usually mean cut corners, so we focus on doing the work correctly rather than just quickly.
Deck size depends on your property’s setback requirements, lot coverage limits, and local zoning restrictions. Most North Patchogue properties allow decks up to 8 feet from the rear building line into the backyard.
Suffolk County building codes specify maximum deck dimensions based on your home’s structure and foundation type. Attached decks require proper connection to your home’s band joist and adequate support posts or footings.
We measure your property and research your lot’s specific restrictions before designing your deck. This prevents permit rejections and ensures your deck meets all local requirements from day one.
Deck construction costs vary based on size, materials, and complexity. Pressure-treated wood decks typically run $15-25 per square foot installed, while composite decking ranges from $25-40 per square foot.
Additional costs include permits ($300-500), site preparation, and any electrical work for lighting or outlets. Complex designs with multiple levels, built-in seating, or custom railings increase labor costs significantly.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs separately. This prevents surprise charges and helps you make informed decisions about material upgrades or design changes.
Yes, we design and build custom pool decks that integrate with existing swimming pools and meet Suffolk County’s pool safety requirements. Pool decks require specific drainage, slip-resistant surfaces, and proper clearances from pool equipment.
Pool deck construction involves additional considerations like chemical resistance, water drainage, and compliance with pool barrier regulations. Materials must handle pool chemicals and constant moisture without deteriorating.
We coordinate with pool contractors and handle any required electrical work for lighting or outlets. Pool deck projects typically require additional permits and inspections beyond standard deck construction requirements.
