Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a new deck?
Depending on size, design complexity, and weather conditions, most decks take one to three weeks to complete. Factors such as material availability and permitting can also impact the timeline. We always provide realistic schedules upfront to keep you informed.
What materials do you recommend for coastal decks?
We often recommend pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, and stainless-steel fasteners to resist moisture, salt, and corrosion. These materials are well-suited for the coastal environment and offer durability, longevity, and reduced maintenance for your outdoor space.
Can you repair a deck that has structural damage?
Yes, we specialize in repairing structural damage, replacing rotted wood, and reinforcing decks to meet safety standards. Our team thoroughly inspects your existing structure and provides expert recommendations to restore safety, stability, and functionality.
