More Than Just Outdoor Space

You’re not just getting a deck. You’re getting a space where your family actually wants to spend time.

Think about it. Right now, your backyard sits there unused most of the year. With a well-built deck, you’ve got a morning coffee spot, an evening dinner area, and a place where people naturally gather when they visit.

The right deck installation does more than add square footage. It extends your living space outdoors and gives you a return on investment that makes sense. Plus, when it’s built correctly with quality materials, you’re not dealing with warped boards or wobbly railings three years down the road.

We Know New York Weather

Florida, NY sits in the heart of Orange County’s famous Black Dirt Region with a population of 3,049 residents who value quality outdoor living. This historic farming community, settled in the early 1700s, features unique soil conditions and challenging weather patterns that require specific construction approaches.

We’ve been building decks in Florida, NY for years. We understand what works here and what doesn’t, especially considering the area’s unique characteristics—from the rich, moist soil conditions of the former marshland to the typical New York freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow loads.

New York weather is tough on outdoor structures. We use materials and construction methods that handle the freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and summer heat that your deck will face. Our team knows the local building codes and permit requirements, so your project moves forward without delays.

We’re not the cheapest option in town. But we’re the one that builds your deck right the first time, with materials that last and craftsmanship you can count on.

During construction, we prep the site, set the foundation posts, frame the structure, install decking boards, and finish with railings and any custom features. We clean up completely when we’re done. You get a deck that’s ready to use and built to last.

Most deck installations take 3–5 days depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect the timeline, especially during winter months when we need dry conditions for concrete work and finishing. We schedule projects with buffer time built in and keep you updated if delays occur. Simple rectangular decks go faster than multi-level designs with custom features. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the initial consultation based on your specific project.
Pressure-treated lumber is the most popular choice because it handles freeze-thaw cycles well and costs less upfront. Cedar looks great and resists rot naturally but needs regular maintenance. Composite decking costs more initially but requires almost no maintenance and won’t warp or split. For our climate, we recommend pressure-treated framing regardless of decking material. The key is proper installation with adequate drainage and ventilation underneath.
Yes, most deck installations require building permits in Florida, NY. Permits verify your deck meets safety codes for structural integrity, railing height, and stair requirements. We handle the permit application process and coordinate inspections. The permit cost is typically $100–$300 depending on deck size. Some small, low-height decks might be exempt, but it’s better to check first than deal with problems later when you sell your home.
Deck installation costs vary based on size, materials, and complexity. A basic 12×16 pressure-treated deck typically runs $3,000–$5,000 including materials and labor. Larger decks, premium materials, or custom features increase the price. Composite decking adds about 30–50% to material costs. We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and permits so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges or hidden fees.
Pressure-treated decks need cleaning and staining every 2–3 years to maintain appearance and protection. Cedar requires similar maintenance but may need more frequent attention. Composite decks just need occasional cleaning with soap and water. All decks benefit from clearing debris, checking fasteners annually, and maintaining good drainage. We provide maintenance guidelines specific to your materials and can recommend local suppliers for stains and cleaners that work well in our climate.
We can install decks during mild winter weather, but concrete work requires temperatures above freezing for proper curing. Heavy snow and frozen ground make excavation difficult. We typically schedule most deck installations between April and November for best results. However, we can work during winter warm spells if conditions are right. Planning ahead and booking early gives you more flexibility with timing and confirms your deck is ready for spring and summer use.
