Wood Decks

A wood deck transforms your backyard into an extension of your home. It's where you spend time with family, entertain guests, or just relax in the evening. A well-built deck stands up to Florida's weather and wear while looking great for years.

We design and build custom wood decks tailored to your space and how you'll use it. We choose materials and construction methods that stand up to Central Florida's heat, humidity, and seasonal weather. From the framing and decking to railings, stairs, and finish details, we handle every part of the job with attention to durability and appearance.

Our deck work is backed by our license and insurance. Homeowners throughout Central Florida trust us to build decks that last. Contact us for a free estimate.

Wood deck materials and construction

We build with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, composite decking, or other materials depending on your preference and budget. The hidden part—the frame, beams, footings, and fasteners—is just as important as what you see. We use corrosion-resistant hardware, proper post footings below the frost line, and adequate ventilation underneath to prevent rot and ensure safety.

Humidity and Florida weather challenges

Moisture is the enemy of wood in Florida. Poor drainage, standing water underneath the deck, and inadequate ventilation cause rot, mold, and structural failure. Using the right materials and construction methods—like raised footings, spacing between boards, and good airflow—keeps your deck sound. Regular maintenance, like sealing and staining, extends the life significantly.

From planning to enjoying your new deck

We start with a free estimate to discuss your vision, size, layout, and materials. We then create a design and timeline. Once approved, we obtain any necessary permits and schedule construction. Most deck projects take one to three weeks depending on size and complexity. We handle site preparation, construction, finishing, and cleanup so you can start using your deck right away.

Wood Decks: common questions

How long does it take to build a wood deck?

Most decks take one to three weeks depending on size, complexity, and materials. A simple 12-by-16-foot pressure-treated deck might take a week or two. Larger decks with built-ins, stairs, or composite materials take longer. Weather and permit delays can also extend the timeline.

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Central Florida?

Most decks over 30 inches high require a permit. Some municipalities also require permits for ground-level decks. Building codes vary by location. We handle the permit process or let you know upfront if your project needs one.

How often do wood decks need to be sealed or stained?

Florida's humidity and sun fade and wear wood decks fairly quickly. Most owners seal or stain their decks every one to two years to keep them looking good and protected. Pressure-treated wood lasts longer than untreated, but sealing still helps. We can discuss the best maintenance schedule for your deck during the estimate.
