You know that feeling when you step outside and actually want to stay there? That’s what happens when your deck works with your lifestyle instead of against it.
No more avoiding your backyard because the old deck is an eyesore or safety hazard. No more canceling gatherings because you don’t have the space. When we’re done, you’ll have a deck that handles everything from quiet morning coffee to weekend barbecues with friends.
The right deck doesn’t just add square footage – it adds life to your home. You’ll find yourself using your outdoor space in ways you never thought possible, and your neighbors will definitely notice the upgrade.
We’ve been serving Williston Park and Nassau County homeowners for years at Expressway Roofing and Chimney Inc. We understand what Long Island weather does to outdoor structures – the salt air, the winter freeze-thaw cycles, the summer humidity.
That’s why we don’t just build decks; we build them right for this specific climate. We know which materials perform best here, which building techniques prevent common problems, and how to navigate local building codes without delays.
Every project gets our full attention because your satisfaction directly impacts our reputation in this tight-knit community. When your neighbors ask who built your deck, we want you to recommend us without hesitation.
We start with a consultation at your home to understand exactly what you want and assess your space. No generic solutions – we discuss your specific needs, budget, and timeline.
Next comes the design phase where we create a plan that maximizes your space and complements your home’s architecture. We handle all permit applications and ensure everything meets Williston Park building requirements.
Construction begins with site preparation and continues with precision installation. Most deck projects are completed within 1-3 days, depending on size and complexity. We clean up completely each day and leave your property better than we found it.

We offer composite decking that looks like real wood but never needs staining or sealing – perfect for busy Williston Park homeowners. Brands like Trex and TimberTech resist fading, scratching, and moisture damage while maintaining their appearance year after year.
For those preferring natural wood, we use pressure-treated lumber and premium cedar that’s properly sealed for coastal conditions. We also install PVC decking for ultimate durability and low maintenance.
Every installation includes proper drainage, appropriate spacing for expansion, and railings that meet safety codes. We add features like built-in lighting, planters, or custom seating based on your preferences and budget.
Yes, most deck installations in Williston Park require building permits. The Village Building Department requires permits for any structure that’s attached to your home or elevated above ground level.
We handle the entire permit application process for you, including submitting plans and ensuring compliance with local building codes. The process typically takes 1-2 weeks for approval. We won’t start construction until all permits are properly obtained – this protects both you and ensures the work meets all safety requirements.
Composite decking performs exceptionally well in Long Island’s coastal environment. It resists salt air corrosion, won’t warp from humidity changes, and maintains its color despite intense summer sun exposure.
Composite materials like Trex are made from recycled wood fibers and plastic, creating a surface that looks like natural wood but requires minimal maintenance. Unlike wood decking, composite never needs staining, sealing, or painting. It’s also slip-resistant when wet, which is important given our frequent coastal weather.
For homeowners preferring natural wood, properly treated cedar with marine-grade sealers also performs well, though it requires regular maintenance to maintain its appearance and durability.
Most residential deck installations in Williston Park are completed within 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Simple replacement decks often take just one day, while larger custom decks with multiple levels or built-in features may require 2-3 days.
Weather can affect the timeline – we won’t install decking in rain or extreme conditions as this compromises quality. We provide realistic timeframes during your consultation and keep you updated if any delays occur.
The permit approval process adds 1-2 weeks before construction begins, but we handle all paperwork and coordination with the Village Building Department to minimize delays.
This depends on the current condition of your deck’s structure and surface materials. We can often repair or partially replace sections if the underlying framework is sound and up to current building codes.
Common repairs include replacing damaged boards, reinforcing railings, updating stairs, or refinishing surfaces. However, if the support structure is compromised, the deck doesn’t meet current safety codes, or repair costs approach replacement costs, full replacement usually makes more sense.
During our consultation, we thoroughly inspect your existing deck and provide honest recommendations. We’ll explain exactly what work is needed and why, so you can make an informed decision about repair versus replacement.
Composite decking requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional wood decking. Regular cleaning with soap and water removes dirt, pollen, and salt residue that’s common in coastal areas like Williston Park.
For deeper cleaning, we recommend pressure washing annually using appropriate pressure settings – too much pressure can damage the surface texture. Remove leaves and debris promptly to prevent staining, and clear snow carefully to avoid scratching.
Unlike wood decking, composite materials never need staining, sealing, or painting. The color goes throughout the material, so minor scratches aren’t noticeable. Most manufacturers offer 25-year warranties against fading, staining, and structural defects when properly maintained.
Deck installation costs vary significantly based on size, materials, design complexity, and site conditions. Basic pressure-treated wood decks typically start around $25-35 per square foot, while premium composite decking ranges from $35-50 per square foot installed.
Additional features like custom railings, built-in seating, lighting, or multi-level designs increase costs but also add significant value and functionality. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
During your consultation, we discuss your budget upfront and design solutions that maximize value within your price range. We believe in transparent pricing – no surprise charges or hidden fees after work begins.
