Types of Decks

Quality Materials

Quality deck materials refer to durable, long-lasting, and weather-resistant materials—such as high-grade composite, PVC, or premium hardwoods (e.g., Ipe, Cedar)—that resist rot, mold, fading, and insect damage

Experienced Team

An experienced deck builder team consists of licensed, insured, and highly skilled professionals specializing in designing and constructing custom, high-quality outdoor decks

Unique Technologies

Unique technologies for a deck builder refer to advanced materials, construction methods, and design innovations that enhance the longevity, safety, aesthetics, and comfort of outdoor decks

Our Proud

15 Years of Experience

Think of a deck as your home’s social butterfly. It’s the place where morning coffee tastes better, summer barbecues last longer, and quiet evenings feel calmer. A deck is an outdoor platform, typically made of wood or composite materials, that extends from a building and creates usable outdoor living space.

Deck Height Structures

Platform Deck

The IRC dictates that any open-sided walking surface, including decks, porches, and ramps, does NOT need a guardrail if it is UNDER 30 inches above the ground.

High Set Deck

A high-set or elevated deck is an outdoor platform raised more (approx. 3.3 feet) above ground level, typically aligning with the first or second story of a home. Supported by sturdy posts, beams, and concrete footings.

Double-Decker

A "double deck on top of another deck"—often referred to as a double-decker deck or a two-story deck—means constructing a multi-level outdoor living space where a second, elevated deck is built directly above an existing, lower-level deck

Deck Attachments Types

Home Attached Deck

An attached deck is a raised outdoor platform physically connected to a house, using the home's structure for support via a ledger board bolted to the foundation or band joist, requiring proper flashing and adherence to building codes for safety against moisture and potential ledger failure, offering integrated outdoor living space with options for various materials like wood or composite, and can be built with posts, beams, joists, and decking.

Free Standing Deck

A free-standing (or floating) deck is an independent structure that does not attach to a house or any other building, transferring its load directly to the ground via posts and footings. It offers flexibility in placement—allowing it to be built anywhere in a yard—and avoids potential water infiltration issues associated with attaching a ledger board to a home.

Attached VS Free Standing and Why

An attached deck connects directly to a house via a ledger board, offering stability and seamless access, but requires careful flashing to prevent water damage.

A freestanding (detached) deck is a self-supporting structure built on its own footings, eliminating risks of wall damage and allowing placement flexibility, but may require extra bracing.

When is a Free standing required?

A free-standing (or floating) deck is required when structural attachment to a house is impossible, difficult, or undesirable, such as with brick veneer, stucco, insulated walls (ICF), or cantilevered floors. It is a self-supporting structure built on its own posts, usually 1–2 inches from the house to avoid needing a ledger board.

Pressured Treated Wood VS Composite Deck

Pressure-treated (PT) wood decks offer a natural look with lower initial costs, but require high maintenance, such as annual cleaning, staining, and sealing to prevent rot, splitting, and splinters.

Composite decking uses recycled materials to provide superior durability, resisting moisture, rot, and bugs with minimal maintenance, often lasting 25+ years.

Pressure-Treated Deck

A pressure-treated deck is constructed from lumber infused with chemical preservatives under high pressure to resist rot, fungal decay, and termites. This process makes the wood highly durable and suitable for, or in contact with, the ground, significantly extending its lifespan in outdoor, moisture-prone, or humid conditions.

Composite Deck

Composite decking is a low-maintenance, durable alternative to wood, engineered from a blend of recycled plastic, wood fibers, and binding agents. It is designed to resist rotting, warping, splintering, and fading, typically lasting 25–30 years without the need for painting, staining, or sealing.
