Custom Deck Design & Installation

Why Choose Custom Deck Design?

Your backyard is unique, and your deck should be too. When you work with us for custom deck design and installation, you get a structure that fits your space, matches your style, and meets your specific needs. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we take the time to understand how you plan to use your deck and what matters most to you.

A custom deck adds value to your home and creates an outdoor living space you will actually use. Whether you want a cozy spot for morning coffee or a large entertaining area for family gatherings, we design and build decks that make your vision a reality. Our team has years of experience working in Florence-Graham and understands the local climate, soil conditions, and building requirements that affect your project.

We handle every step of the process, from initial design concepts to final construction. You will never be left wondering what happens next. Our team communicates clearly throughout your project, keeping you informed and involved without overwhelming you with technical details.

Our Custom Deck Design Process

Creating your custom deck starts with understanding your needs. During our initial consultation, we visit your property to assess the space, discuss your goals, and answer your questions. We look at factors like sun exposure, existing landscaping, access points, and how the deck will connect to your home.

Here is what makes our design process different:

• We create detailed design plans that show you exactly what your deck will look like before we start building
• You get to choose from various materials, colors, and features to match your home and budget
• We incorporate practical elements like built-in seating, planters, or lighting based on how you will use the space
• Our designs account for proper drainage, structural support, and long-term durability
• We handle all permits and ensure your deck meets local building codes

After you approve the design, we provide a detailed timeline and transparent pricing. There are no hidden fees or surprise costs. You will know exactly what to expect before we break ground on your project.

Material Options for Your Custom Deck

The materials you choose affect how your deck looks, how long it lasts, and how much maintenance it requires. We offer both traditional wood decking and modern composite materials, each with distinct advantages.

Wood decks provide classic beauty and natural warmth. Popular options include pressure-treated pine for budget-friendly projects, cedar for natural resistance to rot and insects, and redwood for premium aesthetics. Wood requires regular staining and sealing but offers a timeless look that many homeowners prefer.

Composite decking combines wood fibers with plastic polymers to create a low-maintenance alternative. These materials resist fading, staining, and scratching while eliminating the need for annual staining. Composite decks cost more upfront but save you time and money over the years. They come in various colors and textures that mimic natural wood without the upkeep.

During your design consultation, we explain the pros and cons of each option based on your priorities. If you value low maintenance, we steer you toward composite. If you love the authentic look of real wood and do not mind occasional upkeep, traditional lumber might be your best choice.

Features We Can Include in Your Design

Your custom deck can include features that make it more functional and enjoyable. We regularly incorporate multi-level designs that create distinct zones for dining, lounging, and cooking. Built-in benches with storage underneath maximize space while keeping your deck organized. Pergolas and shade structures extend the usability of your deck during hot afternoons.

Lighting transforms your deck into a space you can use after sunset. We install low-voltage LED lighting in railings, stairs, and posts for safety and ambiance. For homeowners who love to entertain, we can design dedicated areas for built-in grills or outdoor kitchens.

Railing options range from traditional wood balusters to modern cable systems and glass panels. Each style affects the look and feel of your deck. We help you choose railings that provide safety without blocking your view or clashing with your home's architecture.
