Your deck should be where summer barbecues happen, where kids play safely, and where you unwind after long days. Not a constant source of maintenance headaches and safety concerns.
With professional deck installation, you get outdoor space that works with your lifestyle instead of against it. No more worrying about rotted boards when guests come over. No more canceling plans because your deck isn’t safe for the kids.

Living near the coast means your deck faces challenges most areas don’t deal with. Salt air accelerates corrosion. Summer humidity promotes rot and mold. Winter freeze-thaw cycles stress joints and fasteners.
That’s why many Wantagh, NY homeowners choose composite decking materials. These engineered products combine wood fibers with recycled plastics, creating boards that resist moisture, insects, and UV damage while maintaining the appearance of natural wood. You get the look you want without the constant deck staining and sealing that wood requires.
For families who prefer traditional materials, we work with premium pressure-treated wood decking and proper moisture barriers. The key is matching the right material to your specific situation—your budget, maintenance preferences, and how you plan to use the space. Our deck design and planning process helps you make these decisions with confidence.
Quality composite decking typically lasts 25-30 years in Long Island’s coastal environment, often with warranties extending that long. The capped composite materials we install have protective shells that resist salt air, UV rays, and moisture penetration.
Unlike wood decking that might need replacement every 10-15 years due to rot and weather damage, composite materials maintain their structural integrity and appearance much longer. You’ll spend less time and money on maintenance over the deck’s lifetime.
The initial investment is higher than wood, but when you factor in the elimination of annual staining, sealing, and board replacement, composite often costs less over time while providing better performance in our challenging coastal climate.
Capped composite decking has a protective plastic shell around the wood-plastic core, while uncapped boards expose the core material directly to the elements. The cap provides crucial protection against moisture, stains, and fading.
For Wantagh’s coastal conditions, we typically recommend capped composite. The protective layer prevents salt air from penetrating the core, reduces maintenance requirements, and maintains color consistency over time. Uncapped boards can absorb moisture and stains more readily.
Capped materials cost slightly more upfront but perform significantly better long-term. Given the investment you’re making in your outdoor living space and Wantagh’s property values, the extra protection usually makes financial sense.
Most deck projects in Wantagh require building permits, especially for elevated structures or decks attached to the house. We handle the permit application process, including submitting plans and coordinating inspections.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the project complexity and current municipal workload. We factor this timing into your project schedule so there are no surprises. Our familiarity with local building codes helps ensure approvals go smoothly.
Some simple deck repair and maintenance projects that don’t change the footprint may not require permits, but we always verify requirements with the building department before starting work. It’s better to be certain upfront than deal with compliance issues later.
Yes, we regularly design and build decks that integrate with pools, existing patios, and other outdoor features. These projects require careful planning to ensure proper drainage, structural support, and code compliance.
Pool deck connections need special attention to safety requirements, including appropriate railings, non-slip surfaces, and proper clearances. We work with pool contractors and landscape designers when needed to create cohesive outdoor living spaces.
The key is planning the integration from the beginning rather than trying to connect mismatched elements later. We’ll assess your existing features and design the deck to complement and enhance your overall outdoor space rather than compete with it.
Composite decking requires minimal maintenance compared to wood—typically just periodic cleaning with soap and water. You won’t need to stain, seal, or sand composite boards, which eliminates the biggest maintenance tasks associated with traditional wood deck construction.
For normal cleaning, a garden hose and mild detergent handle most situations. Stubborn stains might require a soft brush, but avoid pressure washing at high settings, which can damage the surface texture. Most manufacturers recommend cleaning 2-3 times per year.
The biggest maintenance advantage is what you don’t have to do. No annual staining that costs hundreds of dollars and takes weekend time. No worrying about splinters or loose boards. No replacing rotted sections every few years. You get your weekends back.
Deck installation costs vary significantly based on size, materials, complexity, and site conditions. A basic pressure-treated wood deck might start around $30-40 per square foot installed, while premium composite materials can range from $50-80 per square foot.
For a typical 12×16 foot deck (192 square feet), you might expect costs from $6,000-15,000 depending on materials and features. Factors like elevated construction, complex shapes, built-in features, and site preparation can increase costs.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work needed. This helps you understand exactly what you’re paying for and make informed decisions about where to invest your budget for the best long-term value.
