Deck Restoration & Staining
An existing deck that has faded, grayed, or developed splinters can be restored to like-new condition. We clean, sand, and apply professional deck stain or sealant that protects the wood from moisture, UV damage, and mold. Regular maintenance extends deck life significantly.

Deck Repairs
Broken boards, loose railings, rotted posts, and unstable stairs are safety hazards. We inspect decks thoroughly and replace damaged structural members, decking boards, and hardware to bring your deck back to a safe, solid condition.

Decking Materials We Build With
We build with pressure-treated pine (most economical, 15–20 year life with maintenance), cedar (naturally rot-resistant, beautiful grain), composite decking like Trex or TimberTech (40+ year warranty, zero-staining), PVC decking (maximum moisture resistance), and Ipe or hardwood premium boards for showpiece decks. Each material has trade-offs in cost, maintenance, and look — we walk through all of them at the estimate.

Beyond the deck itself, we build custom features that turn a deck into an outdoor living room: built-in benches and storage, pergolas, privacy screens, integrated lighting, hot-tub framing, screened-in sections, stair and railing upgrades, and under-deck drainage systems so you can use the space below in rain. Every feature is designed, engineered, and permitted before we start building.

Pressure-treated decks start around $25–$40 per sq ft installed. Cedar averages $30–$50. Composite and PVC run $45–$75 per sq ft depending on brand and board color. A 300 sq ft basic PT deck is typically $8,000–$12,000; a 500 sq ft composite deck with upgraded railings usually lands $25,000–$40,000. All quotes are written and include permits, foundation, framing, decking, railings, and cleanup.

Wood decks need attention to live long — annual cleaning, stain or sealer every 2–3 years for PT, yearly for cedar, and inspection of fasteners and ledger boards. Composite decks require only an annual wash. We offer ongoing deck maintenance services to past clients including re-staining, board replacement, and full restoration of neglected decks.
