Decks built to
look good
ten years in
We build decks that survive freeze-thaw and still photograph beautifully ten years ineautifully in ten years in composite, premium cedar and pressure treated lumber.
"Most deck failures come from three things: undersized footings, surface fasteners that rust, and bad water management. We solve all three by default."
Engineered Substructure
Sonotubes sized to your deck, each set 4 ft below grade.
Inset Lighting
Riser and post lights wired during framing — no surface conduit.
Pergolas & Privacy
Optional pergolas, screen walls, and built-in benches.

Before you ask.
Composite vs cedar?+
Composite is virtually maintenance-free and lasts 25+ years. Cedar is warmer and cheaper upfront but needs staining every 2–3 years.
Do I need a permit?+
Decks over 24" off grade or attached to the house typically need a permit. We confirm and file when required.
Can you add a pergola later?+
If we know upfront, we'll reinforce the posts so a pergola can be added cleanly anytime.
