Your Backyard Becomes Your Favorite Room

You know that feeling when you walk onto a deck that just feels solid under your feet? That’s what proper construction gets you. No bouncing, no creaking, no wondering if it’s safe when the whole family’s out there.

A well-built deck changes how you use your home. Summer dinners move outside. Morning coffee tastes better with a view. Your kids actually want to hang out in the backyard instead of disappearing into their rooms.

The right deck builder doesn’t just nail boards together. We understand that your deck needs to handle everything from heavy snow loads to summer storms, all while looking good and staying safe for years to come.

Deck Building Process, Milan, NY

From Design to Completion Made Simple

First, we come out to look at your space and understand what you want. We’ll talk about size, materials, and any special features you’re thinking about. No pressure, just honest conversation about what works and what doesn’t.

Next, we handle the paperwork. Building permits, code requirements, and HOA approvals if needed. You don’t have to figure out what forms to fill out or which office to visit.

Then we build. We show up on schedule, keep the work area clean, and communicate with you throughout the process. You’ll know what’s happening and when to expect completion.

What Goes Into Every Deck Project

Every deck starts with proper foundation work. We dig footings to the right depth, use concrete that can handle freeze-thaw cycles, and space everything according to engineering requirements. Shortcuts here cause problems later.

We source materials from suppliers we trust. We use pressure-treated lumber that is actually dry, fasteners that will not rust, and composite materials that can withstand UV exposure. The difference between excellent materials and cheap ones shows up in year three, not day one.

Our construction follows current building codes, not what was acceptable ten years ago. Proper joist spacing, adequate blocking, and railings that meet height and spacing requirements. When the inspector shows up, everything passes the first time.

Yes, most deck construction in Milan requires a building permit. Any deck attached to your house or over 30 inches high needs approval from the local building department. We handle the entire permit process for you, including submitting plans, paying fees, and coordinating inspections. The permit protects you legally and confirms your deck meets current safety codes. Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it creates problems when you try to sell your home or file an insurance claim.
Most residential decks take 3–7 days to complete, once we start construction. The timeline depends on size, complexity, and weather conditions. Permit approval adds 2-4 weeks before construction begins, but we handle that process while you’re making final material selections. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if anything changes. Rush jobs often mean corner-cutting, so we build quality into our schedule from the start.
Pressure-treated lumber costs less upfront but requires regular staining and maintenance. It can warp, crack, and eventually rot if not properly maintained. Composite decking costs more initially but needs virtually no maintenance and won’t rot, warp, or splinter. Most composite materials come with 20-25 year warranties. For busy homeowners who don’t want to restain their deck every few years, composite often makes financial sense over the long term.
We can build decks year-round in most conditions, but we won’t pour concrete footings when temperatures drop below freezing. Winter construction sometimes takes longer due to shorter daylight hours and weather delays. We protect materials from snow and moisture, and we’ll reschedule workdays when conditions aren’t safe. Most homeowners prefer spring and fall construction, but if you need winter work done, we can make it happen safely.
Deck costs vary widely based on size, materials, and complexity. A basic 12×16 pressure-treated deck might start around $3,000-5,000, while larger composite decks with custom features can reach $15,000 or more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and permit costs. Unless you request additional work, there are no surprise charges or change orders. Quality construction costs more than the cheapest bid, but it’s almost always less expensive than rebuilding a failed deck.
Yes, we warranty our workmanship for one year from completion. This covers any construction defects, settling issues, or problems caused by our installation. Material warranties come directly from manufacturers and vary by product. We’ll help you understand what’s covered and how to maintain your warranty coverage. Good contractors stand behind their work because we know proper construction techniques prevent most problems from occurring in the first place.
