Custom Deck Building in Charlotte, NC

Decks change how you use your backyard. One day it’s just grass; the next, you’ve got a spot for coffee, dinner, or just putting your feet up. A good deck isn’t just for looks. It’s for living.

Choosing Deck Materials

Wood brings warmth and a classic look. Cedar and pressure-treated pine stay popular for a reason. They cost less at the start and feel familiar underfoot. But wood needs attention. Stain fades. Boards split. Nails work loose. Every few years, you’re out there sanding and sealing.

Composite skips the hassle. No splinters. No sanding. No sealing. Rain, sun, and spills bounce off. The upfront price runs higher, but the headaches drop. Boards stay straight. Colors hold. The deck keeps its shape year after year.

• Wood: classic style, lower cost, regular upkeep
• Composite: tough, low-maintenance, higher initial price
• Both last decades with care
• Plenty of colors and finishes for any taste

Pick what fits your life. Some want the feel of real wood. Others want to build it and forget it. Our deck installation experience helps you land on the right choice.

Deck Size and Layout

Decks that fit the house and yard just work better. Too small, and you’re squeezed. Too big, and the yard disappears. Think about how you move, where you sit, and what you want to do outside. A grill needs space. So does a table. Kids and pets need room to roam.

• Multi-level decks handle slopes and add interest
• Zones for eating, lounging, and cooking keep things organized
• Built-in benches save space and add seating
• Stairs in the right spot make the yard easy to reach

We’ve seen decks from small nooks to sprawling party spaces. Each one fits the property and the people who use it. Our exterior renovation background keeps everything tied together.

Building for Safety

Decks take a beating. Sun, rain, and foot traffic test every board and bolt. Weak railings and shaky stairs don’t last. Charlotte codes set the bar high for a reason. We pull permits, check every measurement, and build to last. Footings stay solid. Railings stand firm. Every detail gets checked twice.
