Built By Builders
Plenty of outfits will stain over a soft board and call it done. Philip built multi-million-dollar custom homes before he ever picked up a brush, which means we check joists, ledger connections, and fasteners before anyone talks about color.

How It Works
Zero surprises, zero babysitting. You'll always know what happens next — and exactly what it costs.
We probe for rot, check the ledger and posts, and tell you honestly whether it's a repair or a rebuild.
Exactly what gets replaced, what gets kept, and what it costs — before anything is torn out.
Bad material out, new material in, fastened right so it doesn't work loose in a year.
Sanded, cleaned, and sealed or stained with a system built for Florida sun and rain.

Straight Talk on Price
Every home is different, so we don't publish a fake number and change it later. Here's exactly what we're measuring when we walk your property.
If the substructure is sound, repair is dramatically cheaper. We'll tell you which you actually need.
Elevated decks need more framing, more posts, and more labor than a ground-level platform.
Pressure-treated pine, cedar, and composite sit at very different price points and lifespans.
Code-compliant railings and stair stringers are detailed work and a real part of the number.

Questions
Often it can be saved. If the joists and ledger are sound, we replace surface boards and railings for a fraction of a rebuild. We'll show you what we find.
Yes. With 20+ years of construction background, new builds are firmly in our wheelhouse — design through final stain.
New pressure-treated lumber needs to dry out before it will accept stain properly. We'll tell you the right window rather than sealing in moisture.
We'll walk you through what your project requires locally so nothing gets flagged later.
Board-and-railing repairs often run 2–4 days. A full new build depends on size and design — you'll get a schedule with your estimate.
Free structural walk and a straight answer on repair vs. rebuild — no upsell, no scare tactics.
