Decks

Overview

Level, usable space on slopes and raised yards.

Schedule a Discovery Consultation

If your lot slopes and you feel like you have no usable space, a deck can create it. It extends your main floor outward and often captures the best view on your property.

We build your deck with proper footings, framing and connections, then finish it with the materials and railings that suit your home.

Compare and choose.

Composite vs. wood

  • Composite: low maintenance, consistent color, long-lasting
  • Wood: natural warmth and grain, needs periodic sealing

On a flatter yard, consider a paver patio instead.

Design and Style

Shaped to suit your home.

Horizontal cable or glass railings preserve views. Wood railings feel traditional. We match the deck to the house.

Materials and Options

Selected for how you live, and how long it lasts.

  • Composite and hardwood decking
  • Cable, glass, metal and wood railings
  • Integrated stairs and lighting
