Custom Deck Design and Installation
Serving Hartford County & Surrounding Areas
Comprehensive Deck Design Services
From Concepts to Permit-Ready Plans
We begin with a collaborative design consultation to understand how you want to use your outdoor space—hosting, relaxing, dining, or all of the above. Our team evaluates sun and shade patterns, views, privacy needs, drainage, and how the deck will connect to doors, patios, and the landscape to recommend the ideal footprint and layout.
Your designer develops scaled drawings, 3D visuals, and detailed specifications that satisfy current residential building codes. Plans include footings, beams, joist spans, ledger and flashing details, stair geometry, guard and handrail requirements, and options like lighting and electrical, resulting in a permit-ready package and seamless HOA submissions.
Durable Builds, Safe Structures
We construct on properly engineered foundations using concrete footings or helical piers set to the correct frost depth and soil conditions. Structural connections use corrosion-resistant fasteners and hardware, with careful ledger attachment, waterproof flashing, and continuous load paths that enhance safety and longevity.
Deck surfaces are installed with precise gapping for drainage and ventilation, hidden fasteners where appropriate, and picture-frame borders for a finished look. We integrate railings, lighting, privacy screens, and under-deck drainage systems, then complete a thorough quality checklist, final cleanup, and a guided walkthrough.
Choose the Look, Feel, and Performance
Select from pressure-treated lumber for value, cedar or redwood for natural warmth, tropical hardwoods like ipe for exceptional durability, or modern composite and PVC boards for low maintenance. We’ll explain slip resistance, heat retention, color stability, and texture so you can balance performance with style.
We outline upkeep for each material—how to clean and protect surfaces, ideal schedules for sealing natural woods, and best practices for winter care and furniture protection. Our guidance helps you keep the deck looking great while preserving warranties and structural integrity.
Enhance your space with built-in benches and planters, pergolas and shade structures, cable or glass railings, recessed LED lighting, skirting and storage solutions, and under-deck waterproofing for dry space below. We offer manufacturer-backed material warranties and a workmanship guarantee for added peace of mind.
