Your deck should be the place where you want to spend time, not worry about it. When we’re done, you’ll have an outdoor space that handles Northport’s snow, rain, and coastal weather without the constant maintenance headaches that come with inferior work.
You’ll get a deck that looks great year after year. No more dealing with warped boards, splinters, or that gray, weathered look that screams “needs work.” Instead, you get to focus on what matters: barbecues with friends, quiet mornings with coffee, and evenings watching the sunset.
The right materials and proper installation mean you’re investing in decades of use, not years of repairs. That’s the difference between a deck that becomes a burden and one that becomes your favorite part of your home.
We’ve been serving Northport families since 2001. We’re the local company that understands what it takes to build outdoor spaces that survive Long Island’s challenging climate.
We know Northport. From the classic homes near Main Street to the coastal properties by the harbor, we’ve worked throughout the village. We understand local building codes, neighborhood styles, and most importantly, what materials and techniques actually work here.
As a family-owned business, we don’t cut corners or disappear after the job. Our reputation depends on every deck we build, which is why we use weather-resistant materials and proven construction methods that protect your investment for decades, not just seasons.
We start with a consultation at your property. We’ll discuss your vision, assess your space, and explain material options that make sense for your budget and maintenance preferences. No pressure, just honest guidance about what works in Northport’s climate.
Next comes design and permits. We handle the paperwork and ensure everything meets local building codes. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we break ground.
Construction happens efficiently with minimal disruption to your daily routine. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and keep you updated on progress. Most deck projects complete within one to two weeks, depending on size and complexity. When we’re finished, you’ll have a deck that’s ready to use and built to last decades in Long Island’s coastal environment.

We install both traditional wood and modern composite decking materials. Pressure-treated lumber offers natural beauty at a lower upfront cost but requires annual maintenance. Composite decking costs more initially but eliminates the need for staining, sealing, and frequent repairs.
For Northport’s coastal environment, composite often makes the most financial sense. It won’t rot, warp, or splinter, and it maintains its appearance through harsh winters and humid summers. We work with leading brands like Trex and TimberTech that offer 25-30 year warranties.
Wood options include pressure-treated pine, cedar, and premium hardwoods. Each has specific benefits depending on your budget and maintenance preferences. We’ll show you samples and explain long-term costs so you can make an informed decision. Whether you choose wood or composite, we use proper drainage techniques and weather-resistant fasteners to ensure your deck performs well in Long Island’s challenging climate conditions.
Quality composite decking typically lasts 25-30 years or more in Northport’s environment. Unlike wood, composite won’t rot, warp, or splinter when exposed to coastal moisture, salt air, and temperature fluctuations.
The key is proper installation with adequate drainage and ventilation. We use hidden fastening systems that prevent water intrusion and thermal expansion issues. Most composite manufacturers offer warranties of 25 years or longer because the material is engineered to handle harsh weather conditions.
You’ll need occasional cleaning with soap and water, but there’s no staining, sealing, or refinishing required. For busy families who want to enjoy their deck rather than maintain it, composite is often the smart long-term choice despite higher upfront costs.
Yes, most deck projects in Northport require building permits, especially if the deck is attached to your house or exceeds certain height requirements. We handle the entire permit process as part of our service.
This includes submitting plans that meet local building codes and coordinating required inspections. Northport has specific requirements for structural support, railing height, and setbacks from property lines that must be followed.
Skipping permits might seem like a way to save money, but it creates serious problems when you try to sell your home or file insurance claims. Properly permitted work protects your investment and ensures your deck meets safety standards. We make the permit process straightforward so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself.
Wood decking typically costs $25-35 per square foot installed, while composite runs $45-65 per square foot. However, the total cost of ownership tells a different story over time.
Wood requires annual staining or sealing, periodic board replacement, and more frequent repairs. These maintenance costs add up to thousands of dollars over the deck’s lifetime. Composite eliminates most maintenance expenses after installation.
For a typical 300 square foot deck, you might save $6,000 upfront with wood but spend $3,000-5,000 on maintenance over 15 years. Composite costs more initially but often breaks even or saves money long-term while requiring minimal upkeep. We provide detailed cost comparisons so you can make the choice that fits your budget and lifestyle.
We use construction techniques specifically designed for Long Island’s coastal climate. This includes proper drainage to prevent water accumulation, adequate ventilation to reduce moisture buildup, and materials rated for marine environments.
Our foundation work includes concrete footings below the frost line and galvanized or stainless steel hardware that resists corrosion from salt air. We space deck boards properly to allow expansion and contraction with temperature changes.
For composite installations, we use hidden fastening systems that accommodate thermal movement while maintaining a clean appearance. All railings and structural connections exceed local building codes for wind and snow loads. These details might not be visible, but they’re what separate decks that last decades from ones that need major repairs within a few years.
We handle both new construction and deck repairs. Many decks can be restored rather than completely replaced, which saves money while extending their useful life.
Our repair services include replacing rotted boards, reinforcing structural framing, updating railings to current codes, and refinishing surfaces. We can also upgrade existing wood decks with composite materials during major renovations.
During our initial inspection, we’ll assess whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense. Sometimes a deck that looks tired just needs new boards and proper maintenance. Other times, underlying structural issues make replacement the safer, more economical choice. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on your deck’s condition and your long-term goals.
Most residential deck projects take one to two weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. A basic 200-300 square foot deck typically completes in 5-7 working days. Larger or multi-level decks may take 10-14 days.
Weather can affect the timeline, especially for concrete work that needs time to cure properly. We schedule projects to minimize delays and keep you informed of any changes to the expected completion date.
The permit process adds time upfront but doesn’t affect construction once we begin. We handle permits before scheduling your installation, so there are no surprises or work stoppages. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly their outdoor space transforms once construction begins, and we clean up daily so your property stays neat throughout the process.
