Who We Are

A deck builder who actually shows up

We build and repair decks for homeowners around Lakeland, from a simple ground-level platform to a raised deck with stairs and a screened roof. If you're reading this, there's a decent chance you've got a board that's gone soft, a rail that wobbles, or you're just tired of looking at grey, weathered wood. Florida's rain and sun are hard on lumber, and a lot of decks around here get patched instead of fixed properly.

We check the framing underneath before we touch the surface, because a new coat of stain over a rotted joist doesn't solve anything. Ledger boards get proper flashing so water stops tracking behind the siding, and footings get sized for the soil they're sitting in, not just guessed at. That's the difference between a deck that looks fine for one summer and one that's still solid in five.

Had a soft spot right by the steps for months, turned out the joist was rotted clean through. Fixed it in an afternoon, over in Lakeland off Lake Hollingsworth.

Went with the grey TimberTech boards after our old pine deck kept splintering. Took a few extra days because of rain but they kept us posted the whole time.

Deck out in Auburndale hadn't been sealed in years and had that grey weathered look. Came back looking almost new, smells like fresh cedar again.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Questions homeowners ask before they book a deck estimate.

How much does a new deck cost in Lakeland?
A pressure-treated pine deck typically costs less per square foot than composite decking, with most straightforward rectangular decks in the Lakeland area falling in a wide range depending on size, height off the ground and railing style. Multi-level decks, built-in seating and composite boards all push the number up. A written quote based on the specific footprint and materials is the only way to get an exact figure.
Are you licensed and insured to build decks in Florida?
Deck construction in Florida requires a state contractor license, and reputable deck builders carry general liability insurance in case something gets damaged during the build. Any contractor should hand over their license number and certificate of insurance before a contract is signed. That paperwork shouldn't require chasing.
How soon can you start my deck project?
Start dates for deck projects depend on permit approval time through the local county, which usually takes a couple of weeks, plus whatever backlog the contractor already has booked. Smaller repair jobs can often be scheduled within a week or two. A specific start date in writing is more reliable than a vague estimate.
What areas do you cover around Lakeland?
Deck builders based in Lakeland, FL typically cover Polk County towns within roughly a 45-minute drive, including Winter Haven, Plant City, Bartow, Auburndale and Haines City. Driving distance affects scheduling more than it affects price for most local jobs. Confirming coverage of a specific address before booking a quote is worth doing.
Do you build decks on mobile homes or smaller properties?
Deck builders regularly work on decks attached to mobile homes, manufactured homes and smaller lots, though the ledger attachment method changes when there's no traditional wood-framed wall to bolt into. Freestanding decks that don't attach to the structure are an option when the siding can't support a ledger board. Property size mainly affects footing layout, not whether the job can be done.
Will you take on a small deck repair, or only full builds?
Deck contractors that also handle repairs will typically take on small jobs like replacing a few rotted boards, tightening loose railings or resetting a wobbly stair stringer. These jobs are usually priced as a flat fee rather than by the square foot. Some larger deck-building companies only take on full installations, so it's worth asking directly.
How do I get started with a deck project?
The usual first step is a site visit where a contractor measures the area, checks the ground slope and drainage, and asks what materials and features are wanted. That visit leads to a written quote with a materials breakdown. Permitting and scheduling happen once the quote is signed.
What actually changes the price of a deck?
Square footage is the starting point, but height off the ground changes the footing and stair requirements, and that adds cost. Decking material matters a lot too, since composite runs well above pressure-treated pine. Railing style, built-in features like benches or lighting, and how many stairs or levels the design has all add to the final number.
Do you require a deposit before starting work?
Most deck contractors ask for a deposit before ordering materials, commonly a percentage of the total project cost, with the remainder due on completion or in stages tied to progress. Florida law limits how much can legally be collected upfront on certain residential contracts, so that breakdown should be requested in writing. Paying the full amount before any work has started should be avoided.
What happens if it rains during my deck build?
Florida's afternoon thunderstorms are common enough that most deck schedules build in some slack for rain days. Framing and footing work usually pauses during heavy rain since wet ground affects footing depth and concrete cure time. Staining and sealing gets pushed entirely until the wood is dry, since sealer applied over damp boards won't bond right.
