Our Services

Design Consultation

The first sit-down covers what the deck needs to do, the materials worth considering, and the rough budget. The conversation gives the project a direction before any drawings start.

Foundation Installation

Footings carry the weight of everything above, and the type used depends on soil, deck size, and load. Helical piers, diamond piers, and traditional concrete footings cover the standard options.

Deck Construction

Framing materials include wood, composite, and PWT pressure-treated LVL, selected based on the engineering for the project. Joist spacing, beam sizing, and connector hardware are all matched to the surface material going on top.

Permit Acquisition

Every deck installation in Florida runs through a permit process before construction begins. The in-house permitting team handles applications, plan reviews, and inspection scheduling.

Surface Installation

Surface work covers wood, hardwood, composite, and PVC depending on what was specified. Fastener type, board spacing, and end-grain or end-cut detailing all change with the material.

Railing and Lighting

Railings come in wood, composite, glass, vinyl, aluminum, steel, and cable, paired with the deck style and the local code. Lighting work covers post cap lights, step lights, landscape integration, and automated systems.

Wheelchair and Accessibility Ramps

Ramps tie into the main deck using the same surface material and railing system. Slope, traction, and handrail height all meet accessibility standards.

Types of Deck Installations

Platform Deck

Platform decks sit close to grade with only a step or two between the building and the surface. The low profile suits single-story properties and ground-level entryways.

Raised Deck

Raised decks elevate the surface to clear uneven ground or open up sightlines. Fascia wraps the framing for a clean perimeter at any visible angle.

Multi-Level Deck

Multi-level decks step down across slopes or divide a large footprint into separate functional zones. Stairs and railings tie the levels together while keeping each zone distinct.

Freestanding Deck

Freestanding decks stand on their own foundation, separate from any building. The layout suits pool surrounds, garden settings, and standalone outdoor rooms.

Rooftop Deck

Rooftop decks turn flat roof space into usable square footage at residences, hotels, and mixed-use buildings. Drainage details and load engineering carry extra weight on this style.

Pool and Spa Deck

Pool decks see constant wet exposure and bare-feet traffic. Surface materials and finishes are picked with slip resistance and moisture performance in mind.

Curved Deck

Curved decks follow round pools, rounded building edges, or landscape features. Boards are cut, segmented, or heat-formed depending on the material and the radius involved.

Cantilevered Deck

Cantilevered decks extend past their support points to overhang slopes, water, or property lines. Framing is engineered for the unsupported span along with the surface load.

Screened or Covered Deck

Screened and covered decks reduce sun and weather exposure to the surface below. Coverage also extends the months the deck stays comfortable to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about our deck building process, customization options, permits, and materials.

Still have questions?

What does your professional deck installation service include?

The full deck installation scope starts with design, site evaluation, and material selection, then moves through permitting, foundation work, framing, surface installation, railing, and lighting. Each phase has its own sign-off, and the owner stays informed at every stage. Final closeout includes a walkthrough, warranty documentation, and a maintenance guide for the materials used.

Can you build decks with different materials and styles?

Yes, deck installation work covers wood, pressure-treated lumber, exotic hardwoods like Ipe, composite, and PVC. Styles range from platform and raised builds to multi-level, rooftop, cantilevered, and curved layouts. Material and style are selected together since each combination has its own framing and detailing requirements.

Do you offer deck inspections before installation?

Yes, a site evaluation is part of every deck installation project. The evaluation covers grade, drainage, soil, and how the new deck will connect to existing structures. For projects that replace an existing deck, the inspection also reviews the current framing, footings, and any code issues that affect the new build.

How do you ensure safety and compliance during deck installation?

Every deck installation runs through the local permit and inspection process before, during, and after construction. Florida Certified Contractor license CBC 1254215 sets the baseline, and the in-house permitting team coordinates code review and scheduled inspections. Engineering for foundations, framing, and connectors follows Florida building code from the design phase onward.
