St. Augustine's Premier PVC Decking Company

Maritime Docks and Decks Inc. builds PVC decking for backyards, pool surrounds, rooftops, and commercial outdoor spaces across Florida. The work covers full installations, repairs to existing decks, and the framing and foundation work that goes underneath. PVC decking suits Florida sites where moisture, salt, and direct sun shape what the deck has to handle day to day, and the installation methods are matched to those conditions.

Our Services

Deck Installation

PVC decking expands and contracts with temperature changes, so installation uses wider gaps and hidden fasteners to prevent movement and maintain a clean finish.

Foundation Installation

Footings get selected based on soil type, deck dimensions, and how the structure attaches to anything existing. Helical piers, diamond piers, and traditional concrete footings cover the range.

Deck Construction

Joist spacing tightens for PVC compared to a wood deck, particularly on longer spans where flatness matters. Framing materials include wood, composite, and PWT pressure-treated LVL depending on the engineering.

Deck Repair

Damage on a PVC deck usually points to impact, settling, or framing issues below. Board replacement, fascia swaps, and structural repair underneath cover the typical repair scope.

Deck Railing and Lighting

Railing pairs well with composite, glass, vinyl, aluminum, steel, or cable, all of which are part of the standard offering. Lighting work runs from post cap and step lights to landscape integration and scheduled automation.

Wheelchair Ramps

Ramps integrated into a PVC deck carry through the same boards and railing system. Slope, traction, and railing details meet accessibility standards.

Types of PVC Decks

Platform Deck

Platform decks rest near grade with minimal steps to access them. PVC works in this layout because the walking surface holds up to bare feet and stays splinter-free.

Raised Deck

A raised deck lifts the surface where views, airflow, or terrain make that worthwhile. PVC fascia hides the framing for a clean perimeter from every angle.

Multi-Level Deck

Stepping down across a slope or splitting a wide footprint into zones suits multi-level construction. Color carries cleanly from one level to the next, keeping the deck visually unified.

Freestanding Deck

Some decks stand independently of any building, supported by their own foundation. Pool areas, garden settings, and dedicated outdoor entertaining spaces lean toward this layout.

Rooftop Deck

Flat roofs at homes, hotels, and mixed-use buildings convert into usable outdoor space with a properly engineered rooftop deck. PVC fits this application well given that it requires no periodic refinishing.

Pool and Spa Deck

Wet conditions surround pool decks daily, and PVC handles that exposure without swelling or breaking down. Slip resistance varies between product lines, and the selection accounts for what the site actually faces.

Curved Deck

Round pools, building corners, and shaped planted beds call for curved deck construction. Heat-forming or short-segment cutting handles the curve depending on the radius involved.

Cantilevered Deck

A cantilever extends the deck past its support points over slopes, water, or property edges. The framing math accounts for the unsupported span along with the load above.

Screened or Covered Deck

Covering or screening a PVC deck reduces UV exposure and surface temperature. Both factors extend color retention and improve comfort underfoot in summer.

Our Materials And Manufacturers

PVC is one material category, though the lines within it differ in profile, color range, and pricing.

Still have questions?

What benefits does PVC decking offer over other materials?

PVC decking contains no wood content, which removes the main pathways for rot, insect damage, and moisture absorption. The boards skip sealing, staining, and refinishing entirely, and color tends to hold up well under Florida sun. PVC also runs cooler underfoot than older composite formulations, though specifics vary between product lines.

Do you handle PVC decking installation and repair?

Yes, both fall within the regular service list. Installation accounts for the wider expansion gaps and hidden fastener systems that PVC requires. Repair work spans board replacement, fascia swaps, and framing repair underneath the deck surface.

Can PVC decks be used in both residential and commercial settings?

Yes, PVC suits either application. Residential work covers backyard decks, pool surrounds, and rooftop builds, while commercial use shows up in restaurant patios, hotel pool decks, and similar high-traffic settings. Material specifications and framing engineering shift depending on expected load and use.

How do you ensure long-lasting PVC decking performance?

Most surface problems on a PVC deck trace back to the framing or foundation underneath, so that is where attention goes first. Tighter joist spacing, properly sized expansion gaps, and fasteners matched to the product line address the rest. Routine cleaning and the occasional low-setting pressure wash maintain the surface over the long run.
