The right deck turns a backyard into the best room in the house. We build custom wood and composite decks designed for Florida living — shade, seating, sight lines to the water, and materials that hold up to sun and salt.
A deck should fit the way your family actually spends time outside. Do you want a shaded spot for morning coffee, a big open platform for grilling and parties, built-in benches so you're not hauling furniture around, or a multi-level design that steps down toward a pool or the water? We start every deck project by understanding how you'll use the space, then design around your yard's sun, slope, sight lines and existing features.
We've built decks across St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay since 2012, from compact patios to sprawling waterfront entertaining platforms. Because we're a waterfront contractor first, we bring marine-grade building habits to every deck — proper footings, corrosion-resistant hardware, and framing built to last in a humid, salty, sun-blasted climate that destroys lesser construction.
We build in both pressure-treated wood and composite, and we'll help you choose based on your budget, your style and how much maintenance you want to sign up for. Wood decks are warm, classic and affordable, and can be stained to any look you like — but they need regular sealing and upkeep to fight Florida's sun and rain. Composite decking costs more initially but is the low-maintenance champion: no sealing, no splinters, no rot, and it stays comfortable underfoot. For families who'd rather use their deck than maintain it, composite usually wins out over the long run.
Either way, the structure underneath is what makes a deck safe and long-lived. We build on properly sized and spaced footings, frame with correct joist spans, and tie everything together with galvanized or stainless hardware. A deck is only as good as the parts you can't see once it's finished.
Decks attached to your home or built above a certain height have to meet code for footings, railing height, load and connections. We handle permitting where it's required and build to code so your deck passes inspection and — more importantly — stays safe for years of family use. The horror stories you hear about deck collapses almost always trace back to skipped footings or undersized connections. That's not how we build.
Plenty of waterfront homes want a deck and a dock that flow together into one continuous outdoor living space. Because we build both, we can design them as a single project with matching materials, consistent detailing and a seamless transition from your backyard to the water's edge. That's a real advantage over hiring separate contractors who each only handle half the picture and leave you to referee where their work meets.
If you're picturing a new deck — or finally replacing a tired one — we'd love to help you design it. Call (813) 819-7464 or request a free quote online, and we'll come take a look, talk through ideas, and give you an honest written estimate.
Deck cost varies with size, material, height and features like railings, lighting or multiple levels. Wood is more budget-friendly up front; composite costs more but lasts longer with less upkeep. We provide a free, written, itemized quote.
For many homeowners, yes. Florida sun, rain and salt are hard on wood, which needs regular sealing. Composite resists rot, fading and splinters and needs almost no maintenance, which often pays off over the deck's life.
Yes. We build pool surrounds, spa decks and waterfront entertaining decks, and because we're a dock builder too, we can tie your deck and dock together into one seamless space.
Many do, depending on height and whether they're attached to the home. We handle permitting where required and build to code so your deck passes inspection.
