Who We Are

The people doing the actual building

We install, repair, and refinish decks for homeowners in and around Lakewood Ranch. Some calls are for a brand new deck off a slider door. A lot more are for a deck that's ten or fifteen years old, where the boards have cupped, a rail post is loose, or the steps have started to pull away from the frame. If that sounds like your yard, you're not the first person to call us about it.

The fix usually starts underneath, not on the surface. We check the ledger flashing, the joist spacing, and whether the original footings were ever poured deep enough for the sandy soil out here. Once the frame is solid, we can restain it, replace individual boards, or add composite decking that won't need refinishing every other year.

5.0 from 100+ reviews
Had a soft spot near the steps for two years before I called anyone. Turned out one joist near Lakewood Ranch had rotted clean through, fixed in a day.

Deck Repair · North Port, FL
Rescheduled once because of rain but they called ahead, no big deal. Deck out past Parrish looks like new wood again.
Karen S.
Deck Staining & Sealing · Sarasota, FL
Switched from pine to composite after the third summer of restaining. Wish I'd done it when we first built the thing.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Questions people ask before they call.

How much does a new deck cost in Lakewood Ranch?
A pressure-treated wood deck typically runs $35 to $55 per square foot including footings, framing, and railings, while composite decking runs $50 to $75 per square foot. Size, height off the ground, stairs, and railing style are what move that number the most.
Are you licensed and insured to build decks in Florida?
A licensed deck builder in Florida should carry both a state or local contractor license and general liability insurance, and be able to produce a certificate on request. Working with an unlicensed builder can complicate a homeowner's insurance claim if something goes wrong later.
How soon can you start my deck project?
Scheduling for a new deck typically runs two to four weeks out once the design and permit are approved, though repair work can often start sooner. Permit approval time from the local county building department is usually the biggest factor in how fast a project can begin.
Do you build decks outside Lakewood Ranch?
Most deck builders serving Lakewood Ranch also cover a roughly 30 to 40 mile radius, including nearby cities like Sarasota, Bradenton, and North Port. It's worth asking directly since drive time affects scheduling on smaller repair jobs.
Can you build a deck at a condo or rental property?
Decks can be built for single-family homes, rental properties, and some condos, though condo associations often have their own approval process separate from the county permit. Anyone building on rental property should confirm who is responsible for future maintenance before work starts.
Will you take on a small repair job, or only full deck builds?
Most deck contractors handle small repairs like a loose railing or a few rotted boards as readily as a full new build. Fixing a wobbly post now is usually a lot cheaper than waiting until the whole railing needs replacing.
What's the first step to getting a deck built or repaired?
The first step is usually a walk-through of the yard or existing deck to look at the ground, drainage, and how the deck will attach to the house. A written estimate should follow before any material gets ordered.
What actually affects the price of a deck project?
Square footage, height off the ground, stair count, railing style, and whether it's wood or composite decking all move the price. A deck ten feet off the ground with two staircases costs a lot more than the same footprint built at grade level.
Do you require a deposit before starting work?
Most deck contractors require a deposit, often 30 to 50 percent, to cover material costs before the project starts, with the balance due at completion or in stages. A written contract should spell out exactly what triggers each payment.
What happens if it rains during my deck build?
Framing and footing work usually gets postponed during heavy rain since wet, sandy soil doesn't compact the same way for footings. Staining and sealing also needs at least 24 to 48 hours of dry weather afterward for the finish to cure properly.
