Our deck service includes complete design consultation, permit handling, and professional installation using materials chosen for durability in our coastal climate. We work with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and composite options from trusted manufacturers.
Composite decking makes particular sense for Wading River homeowners who want the look of wood without annual staining and sealing. These materials resist fading, won’t splinter, and handle the humidity and temperature swings we see here on Long Island.
Wood options include pressure-treated pine and cedar, both excellent choices when properly maintained. We’ll walk you through maintenance requirements so you know exactly what to expect long-term. Every installation includes proper drainage, structural support that exceeds local codes, and finishing touches like railings and stairs built to your specifications.
Deck costs in Wading River typically range from $25 to $60 per square foot installed, depending on materials and design complexity. A basic 300 square foot pressure-treated wood deck averages around $8,000, while the same size in composite materials runs about $12,000 to $15,000.
The price difference reflects long-term value. Composite decks require virtually no maintenance and last 25+ years, while wood decks need regular staining and sealing every few years. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re investing in.
Additional factors affecting cost include railings, stairs, built-in features, and site conditions. We’ll give you a comprehensive quote after seeing your space and understanding your preferences.
Yes, most deck projects in Wading River require building permits, even for smaller structures. The Town of Riverhead and Town of Brookhaven both have specific requirements for deck construction, including setback rules, height restrictions, and structural standards.
We handle the entire permit process for you, including submitting plans, coordinating inspections, and ensuring compliance with local building codes. This saves you time and ensures your deck meets all safety requirements from the start.
Permit costs vary but typically range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on project scope. We factor these costs into your estimate upfront so there are no surprises later.
Composite decking is made from recycled wood fibers and plastic, creating a material that looks like wood but requires minimal maintenance. You’ll clean it occasionally with soap and water, but no staining, sealing, or sanding is needed. It resists fading, won’t splinter, and handles Long Island’s humidity without warping or rotting.
Wood decking offers natural beauty and typically costs less upfront. Pressure-treated lumber and cedar are popular choices that can last decades with proper care. However, wood requires annual cleaning and periodic staining or sealing to maintain appearance and prevent weather damage.
The choice often comes down to upfront cost versus long-term maintenance. Composite costs more initially but saves time and money over its 25+ year lifespan. Wood costs less to install but requires ongoing maintenance to look its best.
Most deck installations in Wading River take one to two weeks from start to finish, though this varies based on size, design complexity, and weather conditions. A simple 200 square foot deck might be completed in a few days, while larger multi-level designs with built-in features can take several weeks.
The timeline includes permit approval, which we handle but can add a few days to a week depending on town processing times. Once permits are secured and materials delivered, actual construction moves quickly with our experienced crew.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated on progress throughout the project. Weather delays are possible, especially during Long Island’s winter months, but we schedule around seasonal conditions whenever possible.
Maintenance requirements depend entirely on your material choice. Composite decks need only occasional cleaning with soap and water to remove dirt and debris. No staining, sealing, or special treatments are required, making them ideal for busy homeowners.
Wood decks require more attention but reward you with natural beauty. Pressure-treated lumber and cedar should be cleaned annually and re-stained or sealed every 2-3 years depending on exposure and wear. This protects the wood from moisture damage and maintains its appearance.
We provide detailed maintenance guidelines for your specific materials and can recommend trusted products for ongoing care. Many of our wood deck customers handle basic cleaning themselves and hire professionals for periodic staining, which works well for maintaining long-term value.
Absolutely. We handle everything from minor repairs to complete deck replacements throughout Wading River. Common repair needs include replacing damaged boards, fixing loose railings, and addressing structural issues before they become safety hazards.
For older decks showing significant wear, replacement often makes more financial sense than extensive repairs. We can remove your existing deck and build a new one using modern materials and construction techniques that will last much longer than patching an aging structure.
During our consultation, we’ll assess your current deck’s condition and recommend the most cost-effective approach. Sometimes strategic repairs buy you several more years, while other situations call for starting fresh with materials that require less ongoing maintenance.
