Your Backyard, Completely Transformed

You’re looking at your backyard thinking about the potential. Maybe it’s that morning coffee spot you’ve been wanting or the place where family barbecues actually happen instead of being crammed on a tiny patio.

A well-built deck changes how you use your home. It’s where kids play while you prep dinner through the kitchen window. Where friends gather without everyone squeezed inside. It’s a place where you genuinely desire to spend time after work, rather than staying indoors.

The right deck construction means you’re not dealing with wobbly railings next year or boards that warp after the first winter. You get a space that works the way you imagined it, built to handle everything Dutchess County weather throws at it.

Our Deck Building Process

Here's How Your Deck Gets Built

First, we meet at your property to discuss what you want and what’s actually possible given your space, budget, and local requirements. No generic proposals—we’re looking at your specific situation.

Next comes design and permits. We handle the paperwork with the town because we know what Shorehaven requires and how to get approvals without delays. You’ll see exactly what we’re building before we start.

Construction happens in phases: foundation, framing, decking, and railings. We keep the work area clean and let you know what’s happening each day. Most deck projects take one to two weeks depending on size and complexity.

Final inspection verifies everything meets code and our standards. We walk through the completed deck with you, explain maintenance basics, and provide warranty information. Then you can start using your new outdoor space.

What's Included in Your Project

Every deck project includes design consultation, permit handling, and complete construction using quality materials suited for New York weather. We source pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, or other materials based on your preferences and budget.

You get proper foundation work—not shortcuts that cause problems later. Footings are dug to frost line and sized correctly for your deck’s load requirements. Framing uses appropriate joist spacing and hardware for long-term stability.

Railings, stairs, and finishing details are built to code and designed for safety. We handle electrical rough-in if you want lighting or outlets. We include cleanup because we want your property to look better after our work, not worse.

Most residential decks take one to two weeks to complete once permits are approved. The timeline depends on deck size, complexity, and weather conditions. Simple rectangular decks move faster than multi-level designs with custom features. We provide a realistic schedule during your consultation and keep you updated if anything changes. Permit approval in Shorehaven typically takes two to three weeks, which we handle for you. We don’t start construction until all approvals are in place.
Yes, most deck projects in Shorehaven need permits, especially if the deck is attached to your house or more than 30 inches off the ground. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The permit process confirms your deck meets local building codes for safety and structural integrity. Trying to skip permits can create problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims. We know exactly what Shorehaven requires and have established relationships with local building officials.
Pressure-treated lumber remains popular for framing and basic decking because it handles moisture well and costs less upfront. Composite decking offers better long-term durability with minimal maintenance, though it costs more initially. Cedar and other hardwoods look excellent but require regular maintenance. We recommend materials based on your budget, maintenance preferences, and how you plan to use the deck. All our material choices are designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles and humidity common in Dutchess County.
Deck costs vary significantly based on size, materials, and complexity. Basic pressure-treated decks start around $25-35 per square foot, while composite or custom designs run $40-60+ per square foot. Multi-level decks, built-in features, and electrical work increase costs. We provide detailed written estimates after seeing your specific project requirements. Our pricing includes all labor, materials, permits, and cleanup—no surprise charges later. Quality construction costs more upfront but saves money on repairs and replacements.
Yes, we regularly build decks on challenging terrain throughout Dutchess County. Sloped yards often require taller posts, additional footings, or retaining wall work, but these issues are manageable with proper planning. We evaluate drainage patterns to confirm water flows away from your foundation and doesn’t pool under the deck. Some situations require grading work or drainage improvements before deck construction begins. We identify these requirements during the initial consultation and include necessary site work in our proposal.
We warranty our workmanship for two years from project completion. This covers structural issues, fastener problems, and construction defects—not normal wear or damage from extreme weather events. Material warranties vary by manufacturer, and we help you understand what’s covered for different products. If problems arise during the warranty period, we return to make corrections at no charge. We keep detailed records of every project and maintain relationships with our material suppliers to handle any product-related issues that might develop.
