Our Story

How We Look at a Deck Job

We build, repair and refinish decks for homeowners around Sarasota, and most of us got into this trade because we like building things people actually stand on and use. A deck has to hold weight, shed water and take direct sun for years, which is a different kind of carpentry than framing a wall that just sits there.

If you're on this page, there's a decent chance you've got a board that's gone spongy, a post that's rotted at the base, or a deck that was never built to the size or height it should have been. We pull boards back to sound wood, replace joists and posts where the rot actually reached, and re-flash the ledger board so water stops getting behind it in the first place. That's the difference between a repair that lasts and one you're calling someone about again in two years.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

You can ask for our license number and certificate of insurance before we ever set foot on your property. If a footing damages a sprinkler line or a crew member gets hurt on the job, our insurance covers it, not you.

Permits Pulled

Sarasota County requires a permit for most deck construction over 30 inches off the ground, and skipping that step can come back to bite you at resale. We handle the application, the plan review and the final inspection ourselves.

Clean Site Daily

Deck framing throws off a lot of scrap wood and loose fasteners, and a stray screw in a bare foot is nobody's idea of a good job. We bag offcuts and run a magnetic sweep for hardware at the end of each work day.

Written Quotes

Our quotes break out material, labor and permit costs separately, so you can see where the money goes. If you want composite instead of pine, or want to drop a set of stairs, you'll see exactly how that changes the total.

Scheduling You Can Count On

Florida summer storms push a lot of contractors' schedules around, and we'd rather tell you about a delay than let you find out by watching the driveway stay empty. Framing crews typically run three to five days depending on deck size.

Material Options

Pressure-treated pine costs less upfront but wants restaining every year or two out here. Composite costs more to install but doesn't rot or fade as fast, which matters if you'd rather spend weekends on the water than on a ladder with a paint roller.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who we are and how we work.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck construction and repair experience covers a range of project types, from small residential repairs to full custom builds and pool decks. Specific project history and photos are available on request during a site visit.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Deck framing and finish carpentry are handled by a dedicated crew rather than passed off to unrelated subcontractors for every job. Specialty work, like electrical for deck lighting, may involve a licensed subcontractor brought in for that portion only.
Can I see examples of decks that have been built before?
Photos of completed deck projects, including framing shots taken before the decking went down, are available to review before committing to a quote. Seeing the framing stage matters more than the finished photos, since that's where the quality of the work actually shows.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a large remodeling company?
A smaller deck-focused contractor tends to have more hands-on involvement from estimate through final inspection, rather than passing the job through multiple account managers. Deck construction is the main focus of the work, not one service line among many unrelated trades.
Where is this deck company based?
This deck construction and repair business is based in Sarasota, Florida, and covers the surrounding towns within about an hour's drive. Site visits and estimates are scheduled directly rather than through a call center.
How far out are new deck projects being booked?
Scheduling for deck projects varies by season, with spring and early summer typically busier than fall. Current availability is confirmed at the time of the estimate call rather than posted as a fixed number of weeks.
Is the yard cleaned up after a deck project?
Old decking, scrap lumber and packaging material are hauled away as part of a deck project, not left for the homeowner to dispose of. The yard is raked and stray fasteners are swept up with a magnetic sweep before the crew leaves for good.
What happens if something gets damaged during the work?
Liability insurance covers accidental property damage that happens during deck construction, such as damage to landscaping, irrigation lines or siding. Any incident is reported and addressed directly rather than left for the homeowner to chase down.
Will you finish a deck another contractor started or walked away from?
Partially completed deck projects are taken on after an inspection of the existing framing to confirm it meets code and is sound enough to build on. Framing that doesn't meet current code or shows rot gets corrected before any new decking goes on top.
How can I tell if deck work is being done correctly?
Joist spacing, hanger hardware, ledger board flashing and footing depth are the details that separate a deck built to code from one that only looks finished. Asking to see these elements before decking boards go down, or requesting photos of them, is a reasonable request of any deck contractor.
