Composite Decks
Our composite decking combines recycled wood and plastic for durable, weather-resistant outdoor spaces. These decks resist rot, splintering, and fading while maintaining a natural wood appearance. Installation includes proper drainage systems and meets ICC-ES AC273 building codes, with material warranties ranging from 25-50 years depending on manufacturer selection.
Custom Railings
Ultralox aluminum railing systems feature interlocking technology for secure, maintenance-free installations. Available in picket, glass panel, and cable designs with multiple top rail options, these railings meet safety standards and include a 15-year powder-coat finish warranty for lasting durability and aesthetic appeal.
Wood Decks
Pressure-treated lumber decks constructed with proper sealing techniques to minimize warping and checking. Our installation method prevents ground contact rot through Perma-Column elevated supports while offering optional screw-fastening systems to reduce nail popping from material expansion and contraction.
Perma Columns
Elevated wood column supports that prevent ground contact rot in deck construction. This system extends structural lifespan by separating lumber components from moisture exposure while maintaining code-compliant load-bearing capacity for both residential and commercial applications.
Deck Repairs
Structural repairs and surface maintenance for existing decks, including board replacement, railing reinforcement, and sealing treatments. Our services restore functionality and appearance while extending the lifespan of both composite and wood decking materials through proper care techniques.

Report
I tried to use Andy for a composite deck on my house. Everything started great - he came out at the end of January to look at our project. A few days later, he provided a quote. On March 3, we went to his office to pick out materials. The next week, he sent us an updated quote saying that he had forgotten to include a set of steps in the original quote and the project was going to be several thousand dollars more, but he would give us at a "cut rate" due to his error.
I called his office and emailed him to seek clarification and ask a few more questions about our project, but no response. I finally got a hold of him on his cell phone on Friday, March 18 and asked him about the "cut rate." He said he needed to take a look at the quote and would call me back later that afternoon. Today is April 8 and I have not heard from him since. It was disappointing to have to start from scratch on our project. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Andy and his team recently put a deck on our home. They did an outstanding job. Every phase of the project was organized and carried out in a efficient manner. The end result was a professional job that compliments our home, we're very pleased, and highly recommend the company to anyone looking for top notch workmanship.

Andy and company built our deck in the summer of 2017 and we couldn't be happier. Customer service was great. We love the composite wood and cable railing. Their crew even installed hooks for my bird feeders along the aluminum railing. When a few cables loosened they immediately came over and tightened them. The following year I had a patio and deck builder come to pour a patio underneath the deck and he made a statement about how well built the deck was as he inspected it from underneath. Since then, other contractors have mentioned how nice the deck is. He was a little pricey but well worth the price for the quality work they did for us.
