Process
Deck building with wood requires careful planning; not just during installation, but for long-term care as well. Our process is designed to balance craftsmanship with clear communication, so you understand how your deck will perform over time.
We’ll walk you through material selection, layout considerations, and finishing options, then build with clean job sites, attention to detail, and respect for your home. Before we wrap up, we’ll also review maintenance expectations so there are no surprises later.
Existing Wood Decks
If you already have a wood deck, we don’t assume replacement is the only option. We begin by evaluating the structure to see what can be repaired, resurfaced, or refinished.
In some cases, targeted updates restore both appearance and safety. In others, a full rebuild offers better value long-term. Either way, we’ll explain your options clearly and help you choose the right path for your home.
Let’s design a deck that fits your space, your budget, and the way you live outdoors.
