A deck is more than just an addition to your home—it’s an investment in your lifestyle, property value, and outdoor enjoyment. Whether you envision summer barbecues, quiet mornings with coffee, or a space for your children to play safely outdoors, a deck transforms your yard into an inviting and functional living space.
A well-designed deck can significantly boost your home’s market value. According to a 2023 Remodeling Impact Report, after adding a deck to a living space area, homeowners were projected to recover 89% of the cost of the project when selling the home.*
A deck creates the perfect transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces. It offers a comfortable area to relax, entertain guests, or enjoy family meals in the fresh air. With the right design, it can become your favorite “room” in the house.
According to a 2023 Remodeling Impact Report study, homeowners scored adding a deck space a 9.8 out of 10. After completing the project, homeowners reported 57% better functionality and livability.
A customized deck space is a great foundation for building an outdoor living lifestyle that meets your needs. You can add a pool, outdoor kitchen, or something else that meets your needs.
Start with the vision for your space. Consider how you plan to use your deck. Do you want a simple space for relaxing, or a fully equipped outdoor entertainment area? Identifying your needs will help shape the design, material selection and ultimately the budget.
Whether you choose to start with a design-forward approach or a budget backwards, think through your design options and material selection with your contractor.
Your deck’s flooring is more than just a surface—it affects durability, maintenance, safety, and overall aesthetics. The right material ensures your deck withstands the elements, matches your style, and suits your lifestyle.

We offer premium composite decking options from Trex and TimberTech, two of the industry’s leading brands. Both provide a low-maintenance, long-lasting alternative to traditional wood, resisting fading, staining, and warping while offering the natural look of real wood.
Choosing the right railing design is key to enhancing both the safety and style of your deck. We offer a variety of railing options to complement your outdoor space, from sleek aluminum and low-maintenance composite to vinyl designs.
Railings not only provide safety but also add to the overall aesthetic of your deck. Options range from classic wood railings to modern cable, metal, or glass designs that enhance your outdoor living space.
Proper lighting can transform your deck into an inviting space for evening relaxation and entertaining. Choose from recessed stair lights, post cap lights, or under-rail lighting to create ambiance and improve visibility.
Fascia and skirting give your deck a polished, finished look by covering exposed framing and providing additional storage space underneath. Skirting options include lattice designs, composite panels, or solid wood boards that seamlessly blend with your deck’s aesthetic.
To maximize comfort, consider adding a pergola or other shade options. A pergola adds architectural interest while providing partial shade, while retractable awnings or shade sails offer flexible sun protection for hot summer days.
