You didn’t buy in Southampton to spend weekends scraping and staining your deck. You bought here for the lifestyle – and your deck should support that, not drain it.
The right materials handle salt air, humidity, and UV exposure without constant intervention. Composite and PVC options give you the wood look you want with a fraction of the upkeep traditional lumber demands.
The difference? Your deck becomes an asset that adds value and enjoyment instead of a maintenance headache that costs you time and money every season.
Since 2001, we’ve built decks from Agawam Park to Shinnecock Bay. Every project teaches us something new about what works in this specific climate and what fails within a few seasons.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured because your investment deserves that protection. But more importantly, we’re local contractors who understand that Southampton’s coastal conditions don’t forgive shortcuts or cheap materials.
When you see one of our decks five years later, it still looks like the day we finished it. That’s not luck – it’s choosing the right materials and taking time to install them properly.
We start with a free consultation at your property. You show us your vision, we discuss materials that make sense for your location and budget. No sales pressure, just honest advice about what works here.
Design and permits come next. Southampton requires permits for all decks, so we handle the paperwork and ensure everything meets building codes. You’ll see detailed plans before we start construction.
Installation typically takes one to three weeks depending on complexity. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and communicate throughout the process. The final walkthrough ensures every detail meets both our standards and yours.

Pressure-treated wood offers natural beauty at the lowest upfront cost. It works well in Southampton but requires annual staining and sealing to prevent moisture damage and UV fading.
Composite decking combines wood fibers with plastic resins for wood’s appearance with dramatically less maintenance. Brands like Trex and TimberTech resist fading, staining, and mold – crucial advantages in our humid climate.
PVC decking handles moisture, salt air, and insects exceptionally well. It won’t fade, warp, or require staining despite intense summer sun and coastal humidity. Higher upfront cost, but often the best long-term value for Southampton properties.
Composite and PVC materials outperform traditional wood in Southampton’s challenging coastal environment. Salt air, humidity swings, and intense UV exposure can destroy standard lumber within a few seasons.
Composite decking like Trex resists moisture damage, UV fading, and mold growth while maintaining wood’s natural appearance. PVC takes durability further with complete moisture resistance and color stability that lasts decades.
Pressure-treated wood can work if you’re committed to annual maintenance including staining and sealing. Most Southampton homeowners find the extra upfront cost of composite or PVC pays for itself through reduced maintenance and longer lifespan.
Yes, Southampton requires building permits for all deck construction, including ground-level installations. This ensures your deck meets safety standards and local building codes.
We handle the entire permit process including plan submission, code compliance verification, and inspection coordination. This typically adds 2-3 weeks to project timeline but protects your investment and prevents future issues.
Proper permits also prevent problems during home sales. Many buyers’ inspectors specifically check for permitted deck construction, and unpermitted work can complicate transactions or require costly corrections.
Installation typically requires 1-3 weeks depending on deck size, material choice, and design complexity. Simple replacement projects often complete faster while custom multi-level designs take longer.
Permit approval adds 2-3 weeks before construction begins, making total project time 3-6 weeks from contract signing to completion. Weather delays during Southampton’s rainy season can extend timelines.
We provide detailed schedules during consultation and communicate any changes immediately. Most homeowners find the timeline reasonable considering the complexity of proper deck construction and permit requirements.
Our service covers everything from initial design consultation through final cleanup. This includes permit applications, material procurement, professional installation, and comprehensive cleanup.
Construction includes site preparation, foundation work, framing, decking installation, railing systems, and all necessary hardware. We protect existing landscaping and maintain clean work areas throughout the project.
Post-installation service includes detailed walkthrough, material care instructions, and warranty documentation. We provide full manufacturer warranties on materials plus our own installation guarantee because we stand behind our work completely.
The answer depends on your deck’s structural condition and the extent of damage. Surface issues like minor warping, loose boards, or fading can often be repaired cost-effectively.
We evaluate structural integrity, foundation condition, and safety concerns before recommending repair versus replacement. Extensive rot, structural damage, or safety issues usually indicate replacement provides better long-term value.
Our honest assessment explains pros and cons of each option including costs, expected lifespan, and maintenance requirements. We never oversell replacement when quality repairs can extend your deck’s useful life.
Twenty-two years of Southampton experience means we understand which materials and techniques actually survive coastal conditions long-term. Many contractors use approaches that work inland but fail here within a few seasons.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and we handle all permit requirements as standard service. Many contractors skip permits or leave that complexity to homeowners, creating potential problems later.
Our guarantee is simple: we beat any written quote and back our work with manufacturer warranties plus our own installation guarantee. We’re available 24/7 for emergencies because deck safety issues don’t wait for convenient timing.
