You get a deck that actually works for your lifestyle. No more worrying about splinters, warping, or endless maintenance projects every spring.
Your new deck becomes the place your family gravitates toward on summer evenings. Friends linger longer at barbecues. Kids have a safe space to play outside.
Most importantly, you stop dealing with the headaches that come with cheap installation or inferior materials. Your deck looks great year after year, through North Wantagh’s humid summers and harsh winters, without demanding constant attention from you.
We’ve been serving North Wantagh homeowners since 2002. We’re not just another contractor—we’re your neighbors who understand exactly what Long Island weather does to outdoor structures.
We’ve seen every type of deck failure you can imagine. The ones that warp after one winter, the installations that don’t meet code, the materials that can’t handle salt air. That’s why we only work with proven materials and proper installation techniques.
When you’re dealing with North Wantagh’s climate—from summer humidity that hits the high 80s to winters that drop below freezing—your deck needs contractors who know how to build for these conditions, not just follow generic instructions.
We start with a free consultation at your property. You tell us how you want to use the space, we assess your specific site conditions, and we discuss material options that make sense for your budget and maintenance preferences.
Next comes the design and permit phase. We handle all the paperwork with North Wantagh building departments—no need for you to figure out local requirements. Our designs account for your property’s drainage, sun exposure, and how the deck connects to your home’s existing structure.
Installation happens efficiently with our experienced crew. We protect your landscaping, keep the job site clean, and build everything to code the first time. You’ll see steady progress each day until your deck is ready to use.

We install composite decking, pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and PVC materials—each with specific advantages for North Wantagh conditions. Composite gives you the wood look without annual staining or sealing. Pressure-treated lumber offers traditional appeal at a lower upfront cost but requires regular maintenance.
For North Wantagh’s coastal environment, we often recommend composite or PVC materials. They resist the salt air that accelerates wood decay, handle temperature swings better, and won’t splinter under bare feet during summer pool parties.
Our installations include proper drainage, code-compliant railings, and hidden fastening systems where appropriate. We also coordinate with local utilities for any electrical work if you want deck lighting or outlets for outdoor entertaining.
Composite and PVC decking perform exceptionally well in North Wantagh’s humid summers and cold winters. These materials resist the moisture, temperature swings, and salt air that can damage traditional wood decking.
Composite decking made from wood fibers and recycled plastic won’t warp, split, or require annual staining. It handles North Wantagh’s summer humidity without developing mold or mildew issues. During winter, it expands and contracts minimally compared to natural wood.
If you prefer natural wood, we recommend pressure-treated lumber with annual maintenance, or cedar for its natural resistance to insects and decay. However, both require more upkeep in our coastal Long Island environment than composite alternatives.
Most residential deck installations in North Wantagh take 3-5 days, depending on size, complexity, and material choice. Simple rectangular decks with standard railings typically complete faster than multi-level designs with built-in features.
Weather can affect timing—we don’t install decking in rain or when temperatures drop too low for proper material handling. North Wantagh’s spring and fall offer ideal installation conditions, while summer heat can slow certain processes.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our crew arrives early, works efficiently, and cleans up thoroughly each day. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start, including any temporary limitations on using your backyard during construction.
Most deck installations in North Wantagh require permits, especially for structures over a certain height or size. Requirements vary based on your deck’s elevation, proximity to property lines, and attachment to your home’s structure.
We handle the entire permit process for you, including submitting plans to the Town of Hempstead building department and scheduling required inspections. Our designs meet all local building codes, including proper footing depths, railing heights, and structural specifications.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, which we factor into your project timeline. Having proper permits protects you during home sales and ensures your deck meets safety standards for North Wantagh’s weather conditions, including snow load requirements.
Our complete deck installation includes site preparation, foundation work, framing, decking installation, railings, and cleanup. We handle permits, material delivery, and coordinate any electrical work for lighting or outlets.
Site preparation involves marking utilities, protecting existing landscaping, and preparing the foundation area. We install proper footings below North Wantagh’s frost line to prevent shifting during freeze-thaw cycles. Our framing uses appropriate lumber grades and spacing for your chosen decking material.
We also include post-installation cleanup and a walkthrough to ensure you understand proper maintenance for your specific decking material. Our work comes with warranties on both materials and installation, giving you peace of mind for years to come.
Proper drainage is critical in North Wantagh due to our area’s rainfall patterns and occasional severe weather. We design deck drainage to direct water away from your home’s foundation while preventing pooling under the deck structure.
We install appropriate spacing between deck boards for water runoff and ensure the deck slopes slightly away from your house. For areas with drainage challenges, we may recommend additional solutions like French drains or extended downspouts.
Under-deck drainage systems are available for covered outdoor spaces or when you want to use the area beneath your deck. These systems channel water away while keeping the space below dry and usable for storage or additional outdoor living area.
Maintenance requirements depend entirely on your chosen decking material. Composite and PVC decking need only occasional cleaning with soap and water—no staining, sealing, or special treatments required for North Wantagh’s climate.
Natural wood decking requires annual cleaning and staining to protect against moisture, UV damage, and temperature extremes. We recommend spring maintenance after winter weather and fall preparation before cold weather returns. Pressure-treated lumber typically needs staining every 1-2 years.
We provide specific maintenance guidelines for your decking material and can recommend local suppliers for any products you’ll need. Many of our clients prefer composite decking specifically to avoid the ongoing maintenance that wood requires in our coastal Long Island environment.
