We install pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, and PVC materials. Each has specific advantages for our coastal location.
Composite decking offers the best balance of cost and performance for most Southold homeowners. It resists moisture, won’t splinter, and comes in colors that stay vibrant despite UV exposure. PVC decking costs more upfront but offers the longest lifespan—up to 50 years with minimal maintenance.
For traditional wood lovers, we use properly treated lumber with appropriate fasteners and sealants. We’ll explain maintenance requirements upfront so you can make an informed choice. Every material we install is backed by manufacturer warranties and our craftsmanship guarantee.
Composite and PVC decking perform exceptionally well in Southold’s salt air and moisture conditions. These materials resist rot, mold, and insect damage that can affect traditional wood.
Composite decking offers excellent durability with lower upfront costs than PVC. It won’t splinter, fade significantly, or require annual staining. PVC decking costs more initially but provides the longest lifespan—up to 50 years—with virtually no maintenance required.
If you prefer natural wood, we recommend pressure-treated lumber with proper sealing and regular maintenance. We’ll explain the maintenance schedule so you know what to expect long-term.
Most residential decks take 3-5 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect timing, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption.
We handle permit applications before starting, which typically adds 1-2 weeks to the timeline. Once permits are approved, we schedule installation and stick to our commitment dates.
Complex designs with multiple levels, built-in features, or challenging access may require additional time. We provide realistic timelines during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and ensure your deck meets Southold’s building codes. Our team knows local requirements and maintains relationships with building department staff.
We submit detailed plans showing structural specifications, railing heights, and setback requirements. Most deck permits in Southold are approved within 2-3 weeks if plans are complete and accurate.
You don’t need to visit the building department or worry about inspections. We coordinate everything and ensure your project passes all required inspections before considering the job complete.
Composite decking typically costs 20-30% less than PVC initially, but both offer long-term savings compared to wood through reduced maintenance costs.
PVC decking has higher upfront material costs but offers the longest lifespan—up to 50 years with minimal maintenance. Composite decking provides excellent value with 25-30 year lifespans and moderate maintenance requirements.
When calculating total cost, factor in maintenance savings. Traditional wood requires annual staining, periodic board replacement, and regular repairs. Composite and PVC eliminate most of these ongoing expenses.
We handle both new construction and deck repairs. Common repairs include replacing damaged boards, fixing loose railings, and addressing structural issues that develop over time.
Sometimes repair makes financial sense, especially for newer decks with isolated problems. Other times, replacement offers better long-term value, particularly for older wood decks showing widespread deterioration.
During our consultation, we’ll assess your existing deck’s condition and provide honest recommendations. We’ll explain repair options, associated costs, and help you decide whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
We provide comprehensive warranties covering both materials and workmanship. Material warranties vary by manufacturer—composite typically offers 25-30 years, PVC up to 50 years.
Our workmanship warranty covers installation quality, structural integrity, and proper fastening for two years. If issues arise from our installation, we return to fix them at no charge.
We also help you understand and maintain manufacturer warranties. This includes providing proper installation documentation and explaining care requirements that keep warranties valid throughout their terms.
