Featured Wood Decking Projects

Recent wood deck builds we’ve completed across the Upstate, organized by the styles homeowners most often ask for in wood.

Platform Wood Decks

Single-level wood decks built close to grade. These are the most affordable wood configuration we install and a strong fit for backyards where you want a wide, open footprint without stairs or railing in the way.

Raised Wood Decks

Wood decks built well above grade for homes where the back door sits a story above the yard. Raised decks need railing, stairs, and engineered framing for the height, and most include skirting underneath to enclose the open space below.

Multi-Level Wood Decks

Wood decks that step down across two or three levels to follow the slope of the lot or split out functional zones. We build these often on Upstate lots where the back yard slopes away from the house, with the framing on each level engineered to the load it carries.

Screened Porch Wood Decks

Wood deck structures are fully enclosed with screen panels and a roof. The result is a year-round outdoor space that keeps the bugs out without giving up the open feel of a deck.

Covered Wood Decks

Wood decks built under a permanent roof, attached to the home or freestanding. The roof gets engineered alongside the deck framing as one build, which keeps the space usable through rain and direct sun.

Why Hire a Wood Deck Builder

A wood deck builder catches the parts of the job that decide whether the deck lasts fifteen years or thirty. That includes picking the right species for how you plan to maintain it, sizing the footings and framing to actual loads, choosing fasteners that hold up to wood’s seasonal movement, and running the permit start to finish. Generalists tend to miss one or two of these, and the deck shows it within a few years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of hiring a wood deck builder?

A wood deck builder picks the right species and framing for your loads and maintenance preference, sizes the footings to handle the structural loads, chooses fasteners that hold up to seasonal movement in the wood, and runs the permit from start to finish. Wood decks installed without that skill set tend to show problems within a few years.

How does a wood deck contractor install long-lasting decks?

A wood deck contractor starts with a 3D model and a structural plan, installs traditional concrete footings to the depth required for the load, frames the deck in wood, steel, or composite framing depending on the application, and installs the boards with fasteners sized for wood's expansion and contraction across the seasons.

What options are available in wood deck installation?

Wood deck installation options cover species across pressure-treated wood, softwood in cedar or redwood, and exotic hardwoods like Ipe, Tigerwood, and Cumaru. Framing options include wood, steel, aluminum, composite, or pressure-treated LVL. Deck styles run from platform at grade to raised, multi-level, screened porch, and covered.

How do professionals ensure quality in wood decking projects?

We produce a 3D model before any material gets ordered, confirm framing and footing specs against the deck's actual loads, source material from suppliers we've used across hundreds of decks, and walk you through each stage of the install from footing through final walkthrough.
