Deck Installation
If you already have a deck or your have recently purchased a home with a deck, it is important to make sure the space is safe and solid before using it. Decks with loose railing, shifting boards and unsteady supports can pose a serious falling hazard for your family or your guests, which also opens you to liability. Splinters on old decks can also be a problem, especially when children play on the deck. We repair and rebuild your deck to make it solid, safe and beautiful again. If you want to install a new deck, we take your plans and vision and turn it into a fully-functional space.

We construct and lay patios and decks from the ground up, and also replace old columns, banisters, boards and supports to fully repair your original porch. We work with you at every step to maintain your style and stay on schedule and on budget.
