Our Story

How we ended up doing this

We build and repair decks, mostly for homeowners around Brandon who want a place to actually use their backyard, not just look at it. Most of us came up doing framing and outdoor carpentry before narrowing in on decks specifically, since it's a trade with its own set of problems most general contractors don't deal with every day.

The deck you're probably worried about is the one with a soft board near the stairs, a railing that shifts when you lean on it, or boards that cupped and split after a couple of Florida summers. We check the framing before we touch anything cosmetic, because a new coat of stain over rotten joists just hides the problem for another season. Fasteners, footing depth, and how the ledger board ties into your house all get looked at first, since that's what decides whether the deck's still solid in five years, not what stain color you picked.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

We carry the insurance a deck job actually needs, since ladder work and power tools around your house come with real risk. Ask for certificates before we start and we'll send them over.

Permits & Code

Deck footings and railing height both get inspected in most of our service area, and we handle that paperwork instead of leaving it on you. Skipping a permit might save a week now and cost you at resale later.

Full Site Cleanup

Old boards, cut-offs, and hardware all leave with us the same day, not the week we get around to it. We run a magnet over the grass before we call the job done, because kids and dogs go barefoot back there.

Written Quotes

The quote lists board type, hardware, and footing count, so you know what you're paying for before we cut a single board. No surprise change order halfway through.

Real Start Dates

Florida rain moves fast in summer, and we build weather days into the schedule instead of pretending they won't happen. If we do slip, you'll hear it from us before you notice it yourself.

One Crew, Ours

The same guys who frame your deck are the ones who come back to fix a squeak six months later. We don't hand your job off to a rotating cast of subs.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who's doing the work and how to check on it.

How long have you been building decks?
Building and repairing decks is the only work done here, not one service tacked onto general contracting. That focus means more experience specifically with footings, framing, and the humidity and termite issues that come up in Florida decking.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
The same crew handles a deck from framing to final boards, rather than passing pieces of the job to different subcontractors. That keeps one crew accountable for how the footings, joists, and railing all tie together.
Can I see photos of past deck projects?
Photos of finished decks, including framing shots taken before the decking goes on, are available on request. Framing photos matter because that's the part of the deck that determines how it holds up, even though it's covered up once the job is done.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a large remodeling company?
A deck-focused builder means the person who quotes the job is the same person building it, instead of a sales rep handing the project to a crew you never meet. Decisions about a bad joist or a material substitution get made on site instead of going through layers of office approval.
Where is this deck building operation based?
Based in Brandon, FL, deck work is done throughout the surrounding Tampa Bay area.
What days and hours are available for deck jobs?
Deck estimates and work are scheduled Monday through Saturday, with hours adjusted around Florida's summer rain patterns that tend to hit hardest in the afternoon. Evening estimate appointments can sometimes be arranged for homeowners who work standard weekday hours.
Is the site cleaned up after a deck project?
Old decking, cut-offs, and packaging all get hauled away the same day work wraps up, not left for a separate cleanup trip. A magnet gets run over the yard to pick up stray screws and nails before the job is called finished.
What happens if something gets damaged on the property during construction?
Liability insurance covers property damage that happens during deck construction, such as damage to landscaping, irrigation lines, or siding. Certificates of insurance are available before work starts for anyone who wants that in writing.
Will you finish a deck another contractor started or walked away from?
Taking over a deck another contractor left unfinished happens fairly often, usually after checking the existing framing meets code before building on top of it. Sometimes that means redoing footings or joists that don't hold up to inspection, which gets explained before continuing the job.
How can homeowners check that deck work is being done correctly?
County inspections at the footing and framing stage are one way to confirm a deck meets code, since inspectors check post spacing, footing depth, and connection hardware. Asking to see the framing before the decking boards go down is also a reasonable request, since that's the part that can't be checked once it's covered.
