Composite decking gives you the wood look without the annual staining, sealing, and splinter removal. It’s designed to handle Long Island’s humidity, salt air, and temperature swings. Most composite materials come with 25-30 year warranties and resist fading, staining, and insect damage.
Traditional wood decking offers natural beauty and can be more budget-friendly upfront. Pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and other hardwoods each have their advantages depending on your priorities and maintenance preferences.
For Wheatley Heights homeowners, we often recommend composite for busy professionals who want minimal upkeep, and quality wood for those who enjoy the natural aesthetics and don’t mind seasonal maintenance. Both options can be customized with railings, built-in seating, and lighting to create the exact outdoor space you’re envisioning.
Deck pricing depends on size, materials, and complexity, but everything is calculated per square foot for transparency. Pressure-treated wood typically runs $9-18 per square foot for materials, while composite decking costs more upfront but saves money long-term through reduced maintenance.
A typical 12×16 deck ranges from $3,000-8,000 depending on materials and features like railings, stairs, and built-ins. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
The investment usually pays for itself through increased home value and the outdoor living space you’ll actually use. Most homeowners see significant returns when they sell, plus years of enjoyment in the meantime.
Permit requirements vary significantly across Long Island municipalities, and Wheatley Heights has specific codes that must be followed. Most decks require permits, especially if they’re attached to your house or over a certain height.
We handle all permit applications and approvals as part of our service. This includes submitting plans, coordinating inspections, and ensuring everything meets local building codes. You don’t need to navigate the bureaucracy yourself.
Building without proper permits can cause serious problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims. We make sure everything is done legally and documented properly from the start.
Composite decking is made from recycled wood fibers and plastic, creating boards that resist rot, insects, and warping. It never needs staining or sealing—just occasional cleaning with soap and water. Most composite materials last 25-30 years with minimal maintenance.
Wood decking offers natural beauty and is typically less expensive initially. However, it requires annual treatment to prevent graying, splintering, and weather damage. Without proper maintenance, wood decks deteriorate quickly in Long Island’s climate.
For busy Wheatley Heights professionals, composite often makes more sense long-term. You get the wood appearance without sacrificing your weekends to deck maintenance, and the durability justifies the higher upfront cost.
Most standard deck installations take 3-5 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect the timeline, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
We focus on one project at a time rather than bouncing between multiple jobs. When we start your deck, our crew stays dedicated to your project until completion. You’ll see steady progress each day unless weather prevents safe working conditions.
Complex designs with multiple levels, built-in features, or challenging access may take longer. We provide realistic timelines during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout construction.
Absolutely. Pool decks require special considerations for drainage, safety, and access, but we design custom solutions that integrate seamlessly with your existing pool area. The deck can extend your usable space and create better flow between your house and pool.
We work around pool equipment, existing landscaping, and any site challenges. The deck design considers pool maintenance access while creating the entertainment space you want. Materials are selected specifically for pool environments where moisture and chemicals are factors.
Pool deck projects often include features like built-in seating, shade structures, or storage areas. We can incorporate these elements during the design phase to maximize functionality and aesthetics.
Composite decking requires minimal maintenance—periodic cleaning with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. No staining, sealing, or painting is needed. Most manufacturers recommend annual cleaning and occasional inspection for loose fasteners.
Wood decking needs more attention to maintain its appearance and structural integrity. Annual staining or sealing protects against moisture, UV damage, and insects. Without proper treatment, wood decks gray, splinter, and deteriorate quickly in Long Island’s climate.
Both materials benefit from keeping the surface clear of leaves and debris, which can cause staining or moisture retention. We provide specific maintenance guidelines based on your chosen materials and can recommend local suppliers for any products you’ll need.
