Built By Builders

A Deck Is Structure First, Surface Second

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

Your Deck Project, Step by Step

Zero surprises, zero babysitting. You'll always know what happens next — and exactly what it costs.

Structural Assessment

We probe for rot, check the ledger and posts, and tell you honestly whether it's a repair or a rebuild.

Written Scope

Exactly what gets replaced, what gets kept, and what it costs — before anything is torn out.

Build & Repair

Bad material out, new material in, fastened right so it doesn't work loose in a year.

Finish & Protect

Sanded, cleaned, and sealed or stained with a system built for Florida sun and rain.

Straight Talk on Price

What Actually Drives Your Quote

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.

1

Repair vs. full rebuild

If the substructure is sound, repair is dramatically cheaper. We'll tell you which you actually need.

2

Square footage and height

Elevated decks need more framing, more posts, and more labor than a ground-level platform.

3

Material choice

Pressure-treated pine, cedar, and composite sit at very different price points and lifespans.

4

Railings and stairs

Code-compliant railings and stair stringers are detailed work and a real part of the number.

Questions

Deck Questions

Can my deck be saved or does it need replacing?

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.

Do you build new decks from scratch?

Yes. With 20+ years of construction background, new builds are firmly in our wheelhouse — design through final stain.

How soon can a new deck be stained?

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.

Will you pull permits if needed?

We'll walk you through what your project requires locally so nothing gets flagged later.

How long does a typical deck job take?

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.
