Our Story

How we ended up doing this

We build, repair, and refinish decks for homeowners around Brooklyn, and most of what we know came from crawling under decks other people built. A lot of the work is less about carpentry and more about knowing where water gets in and what it does once it's there.

If you're on this page, chances are a board's gone soft, a railing's loose, or a deck that was never permitted is holding up a sale. We start by opening up the framing where the problem actually is, not just the surface, because a deck that looks fixed on top but is still rotting at the ledger board is a call we'll get 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 and Insured

You can ask to see our insurance certificate before we set foot on your property. If a worker gets hurt on a ladder at your place, that's our liability, not yours.

Permit Handling

A deck attached to the house requires a permit in most of New York City, and skipping it can cost you when you sell. We file the paperwork and schedule the inspections so you don't have to learn the process yourself.

Job Site Cleanup

Old pressure-treated lumber can't go in a regular dumpster in a lot of towns, so we dispose of it the right way. You won't be finding deck screws in the lawn a month after we leave.

Written Quotes

The quote lists lumber grade, hardware, and square footage so you know exactly what you're paying for. If composite decking costs more than pressure-treated in your case, we tell you why before you sign anything.

On-Time Scheduling

Deck jobs get held up by weather and material delivery more than most trades, and we tell you about a delay as soon as we know about it. You're never left guessing whether the crew is coming.

Local Experience

Narrow lots, shared fences, and clay soil under the footings all change how a deck gets built around here. We've worked around all three enough times to plan for them instead of finding out the hard way.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who's doing the work and how we operate.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck construction and repair make up the core of this work, built on general carpentry and framing experience before that. The focus stays on decks, railings, and the structures attached to them rather than spreading across every type of home improvement.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
The same crew typically handles a deck job from framing through final decking, rather than passing the work to rotating subcontractors. Specialty work like electrical for deck lighting sometimes involves a licensed sub, and that gets disclosed upfront.
Can I see photos of decks you've built before?
Photos of past deck projects are available on request, including examples of different decking materials, railing styles, and framing repairs. Seeing a few examples close to a specific deck size or style is usually more useful than a generic photo gallery.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a big remodeling company?
A smaller deck-focused crew tends to spend more time on the framing and footing details that don't show once the decking goes down, instead of subcontracting that part to the lowest bidder. Direct contact with the person actually building the deck also tends to catch problems earlier than going through a project manager at a large firm.
What area are you based in and how far do you travel?
Deck work here is based out of Brooklyn, NY and covers the surrounding area within roughly a 50 mile radius. Travel distance can affect scheduling for smaller repair jobs more than it does for full deck builds.
How far out is your schedule usually booked?
Deck building schedules fill up fastest in spring, since most homeowners want a new deck ready before summer. Fall and winter tend to have more open scheduling, and permit-required jobs planned for early spring often get started over the winter instead.
Do you clean up the site after a deck job?
Old decking, joist and footing debris, and packaging from new material all get hauled off at the end of a deck job, not left for the homeowner to deal with. Pressure-treated lumber gets disposed of according to local rules rather than left in a regular dumpster.
What happens if something gets damaged on my property during the work?
A licensed deck contractor carries liability insurance that covers accidental damage to fencing, landscaping, or the house itself during construction. Ask to see a current certificate of insurance before work starts, and any damage should be documented and addressed as part of the job, not left as a separate dispute.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started or left unfinished?
Taking over a deck another contractor left partway through is common, especially after a permit issue or a contractor who didn't finish the job. The framing gets inspected first to confirm it's sound and built to code before any new decking or railing goes on top of it.
How can I tell if deck work is being done correctly while it's happening?
Footings should be inspected before they're covered with concrete, ledger boards should be flashed and bolted rather than just nailed, and joist spacing should match the decking manufacturer's specifications. Asking to see the framing before the deck boards go down is a reasonable request, and a contractor confident in the work won't mind showing it.
