What We Don’t Do

“Quick-Fix” Deck Repairs

Many contractors opt for superficial repairs, concealing deeper issues instead of solving them. On top of that, making repairs to a deck that no longer meets code is a serious accident waiting to happen.


We believe in thorough inspections and lasting repairs, not second-rate band-aids that barely stick.

“Unpermitted” Deck Replacements

Permits protect homeowners by ensuring contractors are properly educated and licensed. Avoiding permits suggests a lack of proper education which hints at a lack of proper licensing.

Permitting our projects is how we ensure everything is done correctly and up to code.

Endless Project Timelines

It's not uncommon for contractors to overpromise and underdeliver, especially regarding timelines. We focus on realistic scheduling and clear communication, guaranteeing a solid project focused on finishing the job we’ve been hired to do.

Our philosophy? Efficiency means excellence. We deliver high-quality decks within days, not weeks.

Your Most Common Questions

How long will it take to repair or replace my deck?

We pride ourselves on our swift and efficient construction process. Most repairs are completed within a single day, while full deck replacements typically take just 2 to 3 days, ensuring a quick return to your daily routine without sacrificing the quality of our work.

Can I repair my deck or should it be replaced?

Whether to repair or replace your deck depends largely on its current condition and compliance with safety codes. Repairs can address minor issues effectively and are certainly possible if your deck meets current code requirements.

However, if there's water damage to joists or support posts, if the framing boards are warping and separating at the joints, or if the the stairs are making your feel unsafe to climb, a replacement is recommended to ensure the safety and longevity of your deck. You wouldn’t want to spend any money on a repair that just wont last.

I’m concerned about safety and building codes.

We are too. That’s why all of the decks we build are permitted and inspected.

Our construction process adheres to all safety standards and code requirements, ensuring a safe, high-quality deck that are built to last.

Is a deck replacement expensive?

Our pricing is transparent: $45 per square foot for deck and rails, and $75 per square foot for stairs and landings.

These rates include:

  1. Premium quality materials

  2. All decking is screwed, not nailed

  3. Correctly sized and properly poured footings

  4. Modern structural screws made to last

  5. "Below ground contact" lumber made to resist rot to the highest degree

  6. Modern bracing and brackets to reinforce structural connections

  7. The craftsmanship you'd expect from a team that stands behind their work

What if I have issues with the deck after it's built?

We stand by our work with a robust warranty and are always available for any follow-up service or advice you might need.

Our work together goes beyond a single project. We aim to be your go-to contractor for exterior repairs and home renovations. We’re serious about what we do and we want you to know that once your join our family, we’ve got your back for life.

I'm selling soon, why should care about quality repairs?

Quality repairs are essential, especially if you plan to sell your home soon.

High-caliber work not only underscores the care you've taken in maintaining your property but can also expedite the selling process.

Unfortunately, I've seen numerous instances where seemingly inexpensive, quick-fix repairs have come to light during a home inspection, causing significant issues that have completely derailed the closing.

By investing in quality now, you not only enjoy it yourself, but you're ensuring that your home passes muster with potential buyers and inspectors alike, paving the way for a smoother sale.
