When most people think of decks, they think of a traditional, square wooden platform attached to your back sliding door. However, decks have come a long way in the past several years. They are now being designed in fun ways with great new geometrical shapes and designs. Round decks are popular around ponds or pools and we are adding a pop of angles and patterns to regularly rectangular decks. Larger decks with connected shapes, a pergola or bench seating are making worlds of difference in beauty in function.

Built-ins are the little extra spaces like flower beds, benches, fireplaces, kitchen areas, storage and shelving built right into your new deck.

Want to have a raised herb garden right at your hands? Have one built-in. Are you an avid reader and enjoy sitting on your deck reading? Consider a small built-in library space with a door that closes to keep your books protected and on display. Let us know your vision and hobbies and we can build in just about anything into your deck!

Nowadays, deck railings don't have to be boring just to  be functional. Modern decks have some pretty impressive railing ideas such as wrought iron, wood, composite, steel, and carved wood posts. Depending on your budget you can go as simple or as elaborate as you would like with the deck railings. We can install some very creative ideas- galvanized steel, sunburst style, cable, and even wrought iron designs.

Decking materials have evolved greatly in the last several years to become stronger, more dependable and easier to maintain. These scientific changes can make owning a deck a lot easier to keep up. No constant staining and repairs and chemicals to prevent decay. Stylish composite decking products resist fading, staining, scratching and mold, and won’t rot, crack or warp. It is an investment well worth the hassle-free longevity.

Consider going up when you are building a new deck for your home. Overheads and custom planters are a great way to add texture, shade, and style to your outdoor living. Retractable roofing, awnings, overhead lighting systems and more can be added to your deck to create a multifunctional space for both rain or shine and well into the early winter months even. Let's get creative and make your deck the place to be!
