Your deck becomes the heart of outdoor entertaining and family time. No more cramped indoor gatherings or wasted backyard space.
Picture summer barbecues flowing seamlessly from kitchen to deck. Weekend mornings with coffee overlooking your yard. Evening conversations that don’t end when the sun goes down.
A well-built deck adds functional square footage to your home without the cost of a full addition. It’s outdoor living space that works as hard as your indoor rooms, but connects you to fresh air and natural light every day.
We’ve been building decks across Suffolk and Nassau Counties since 2001. We’re a family-owned business that understands Long Island’s unique challenges—from coastal salt air to winter freeze-thaw cycles.
We’re licensed, bonded, and fully insured. Our crews know local building codes inside and out, and we handle all permits and inspections.
What sets us apart is our commitment to getting it right the first time. We don’t cut corners on materials or craftsmanship because we know your deck needs to last through decades of Long Island weather.
We start with a free consultation at your property. We’ll assess your space, discuss your vision, and explain your material options—from pressure-treated wood to composite to PVC decking.
Next, we create a detailed plan that includes all permits and local code requirements. No surprises, no delays waiting for approvals.
Construction begins with proper foundation work. We dig footings below the frost line and use galvanized hardware throughout. Your deck gets built to last, not just to look good on day one.
Final inspection ensures everything meets both our standards and local building codes. You get a deck that’s ready for immediate use and built to handle whatever Long Island weather brings.

We work with all major decking materials, but we especially recommend composite and PVC options for Long Island homes. These materials resist moisture, salt air, and UV damage that can destroy traditional wood decking within just a few years.
Pressure-treated wood remains popular for budget-conscious projects. When properly maintained, it offers good value and natural beauty. Cedar provides natural rot resistance and works well in protected areas.
For maximum durability, composite decking from brands like Trex and TimberTech offers 25-30 year warranties. These materials never need staining or sealing, and they won’t splinter, warp, or rot. The upfront investment pays off in reduced maintenance and longer lifespan.
Deck installation costs vary based on size, materials, and design complexity. In our area, basic pressure-treated wood decks start around $25-30 per square foot installed. Composite decking runs $49-60 per square foot.
A typical 300 square foot deck costs $8,000-12,000 for wood construction or $12,000-18,000 for composite materials. Multi-level designs, custom railings, and built-in features increase costs.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs—materials, labor, permits, and any site-specific requirements. This way you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start work.
Long Island’s coastal climate is tough on outdoor materials. Salt air, humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles destroy many decking options within 5-10 years.
Composite and PVC decking perform best here. These materials resist moisture, won’t rot or splinter, and handle temperature swings without warping. They cost more upfront but require almost no maintenance over their 25-30 year lifespan.
If you prefer wood, cedar offers natural rot resistance and works well with proper maintenance. Pressure-treated lumber is budget-friendly but needs annual staining and sealing to prevent premature deterioration in our climate.
Yes, most deck projects in Suffolk County require building permits. The specific requirements depend on your deck’s size, height, and proximity to property lines.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. This ensures your deck meets current building codes and passes all required inspections without delays.
Permit costs typically run $200-800 depending on project scope. Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it creates problems when you sell your home or need insurance claims. Properly permitted work protects your investment.
Most residential decks take 3-7 days to complete once construction begins. Simple ground-level decks can be finished in 2-3 days, while multi-level or elevated designs may take a full week.
Weather delays can extend timelines, especially during Long Island’s wet spring months. We schedule projects with buffer time to account for these conditions.
The permit approval process adds 2-4 weeks before construction starts. We submit applications immediately after contract signing to minimize delays. Rush permits are available for additional fees if you have specific timing needs.
Maintenance requirements depend entirely on your material choice. Composite and PVC decking need only occasional cleaning with soap and water. No staining, sealing, or special treatments required.
Wood decking requires annual maintenance. Pressure-treated lumber needs cleaning and re-staining every 1-2 years. Cedar should be sealed annually and may need periodic stain touch-ups.
We provide detailed maintenance instructions with every installation. Following these guidelines ensures your deck maintains its appearance and structural integrity throughout its expected lifespan.
Yes, we handle everything from minor repairs to complete deck replacements. Common issues include rotted boards, loose railings, and structural problems from age or weather damage.
We assess your existing deck’s condition and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes spot repairs extend your deck’s life by several years. Other times, full replacement makes more financial sense.
Our repair work maintains the same quality standards as new construction. We use matching materials when possible and ensure all work meets current building codes, even when repairing older structures.
