Your deck isn’t just an addition—it’s where summer evenings turn into memories. Where morning coffee tastes better. Where your property value climbs and your entertaining game reaches new heights.
The right deck transforms how you use your outdoor space. No more cramped patios or unused backyards. Instead, you get a seamless extension of your home that works as hard as you do, whether you’re hosting weekend barbecues or finding your quiet moment at sunset.
Quality decking means decades of enjoyment without the constant maintenance headaches. While your neighbors are staining and sealing every year, you’re actually using your outdoor space.
Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc has been creating outdoor living spaces across Long Island for over 20 years. We understand Sag Harbor’s unique coastal environment—the salt air, the humidity, the way materials need to perform in this beautiful but challenging climate.
As a fully licensed and insured contractor, we’ve built our reputation on delivering what we promise. From the historic village center to the waterfront properties, we know what works here and what doesn’t.
Our team has seen every type of deck challenge Sag Harbor can throw at us. That experience translates into fewer surprises, faster completion, and decks that actually last in our coastal conditions.
We start with understanding how you want to use your space. Entertaining? Quiet retreats? Family gatherings? Your lifestyle drives every design decision we make.
Next comes the site evaluation. We assess your property’s unique conditions—drainage, sun exposure, existing structures, local building codes. This isn’t cookie-cutter work. Every Sag Harbor property has its own personality, and we design accordingly.
Construction happens efficiently but never rushed. Our crews arrive when promised, work clean, and keep you informed throughout the process. Most projects complete within two weeks, weather permitting. We handle permits, inspections, and cleanup so you can focus on planning your first deck party.

We specialize in decking materials that thrive in Sag Harbor’s coastal environment. Composite decking offers the beauty of wood without the constant upkeep—no annual staining, no splintering, no rot from our humid summers.
PVC decking takes durability even further. Completely moisture-resistant, it handles everything from pool splashes to nor’easters. The newer formulations resist fading and provide better slip resistance for wet conditions.
For those who prefer traditional materials, we work with pressure-treated lumber and premium hardwoods, applying the protective finishes that actually work in our salt air. Every material choice considers Sag Harbor’s specific climate challenges, ensuring your investment performs year after year.
Sag Harbor’s coastal environment demands materials that can handle salt air, humidity, and temperature swings. Composite decking performs exceptionally well here because it won’t absorb moisture, preventing the rot and mold issues common with traditional wood.
PVC decking offers even greater moisture resistance, making it ideal for properties near the water. If you prefer natural wood, we recommend pressure-treated lumber with marine-grade protective coatings, though this requires more maintenance.
The key is choosing materials specifically rated for coastal environments and having them properly installed with appropriate ventilation and drainage.
Most deck installations in Sag Harbor complete within 10-14 days, depending on size and complexity. Weather can impact timing, especially during our humid summers when materials need proper curing time.
We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Preparation and demolition (if needed) typically take 1-2 days, followed by framing and decking installation. Railings, stairs, and finishing work complete the project.
We handle all permits and inspections, which can add a few days to the timeline but ensures everything meets local building codes. Rush jobs often create problems later, so we focus on doing it right the first time.
Yes, most deck construction in Sag Harbor requires building permits, especially for decks over 30 inches high or attached to your home. The permit process ensures structural safety and compliance with local building codes.
We handle the entire permit application process for you, including submitting plans, scheduling inspections, and ensuring all work meets Sag Harbor’s specific requirements. This includes setback requirements, height restrictions, and structural specifications.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, so we factor this into your project timeline. Attempting to skip permits can create serious problems when selling your home or filing insurance claims.
Both materials excel in Sag Harbor’s coastal conditions, but they serve different priorities. Composite decking blends wood fibers with plastic, offering a more natural wood appearance while resisting moisture, insects, and rot.
PVC decking is entirely synthetic, providing maximum durability and the lowest maintenance requirements. It won’t absorb any moisture, making it ideal for poolside applications or properties with heavy water exposure.
Cost-wise, PVC typically runs 15-25% higher than composite initially, but requires virtually no maintenance over its lifespan. Composite offers more color and texture options that mimic natural wood grain patterns.
Waterfront construction in Sag Harbor requires specialized knowledge of coastal building codes, drainage requirements, and material selection. We use galvanized or stainless steel fasteners that won’t corrode in salt air.
Proper drainage becomes critical near the water. We design deck systems with adequate slope and ventilation to prevent water accumulation and ensure quick drying after storms or high humidity periods.
We also understand local environmental regulations that may affect waterfront construction, including setback requirements and wetland protections. Our experience with Sag Harbor’s specific conditions means fewer surprises and smoother project completion.
Maintenance requirements depend heavily on your material choice. Composite and PVC decking need only periodic cleaning with soap and water, maybe once or twice per year depending on your property’s exposure.
Traditional wood decking requires annual inspection and typically needs restaining every 2-3 years in our coastal climate. The salt air and humidity accelerate wear on protective coatings, making regular maintenance essential for longevity.
We provide specific maintenance guidelines based on your chosen materials and your property’s unique exposure conditions. Proper maintenance extends deck life significantly and protects your investment in Sag Harbor’s challenging coastal environment.
