Our Story

How we ended up doing this

We build and repair decks for homeowners across Brooklyn, working on everything from a small platform off a back door to a full deck cantilevered over a sloped yard. Most of what we know about decks came from seeing the same mistakes over and over on other people's decks, ledger boards with no flashing, footings that never went below frost line.

If you're on this page, you're probably dealing with a deck that's rotting at the ledger, a railing that shifts when you grab it, or you're planning a new one and don't want to end up back here in five years. We flash every ledger connection, bolt railing posts through the frame instead of just into the top board, and size footings for frost depth even when the old deck skipped that step. None of that shows on the finished deck, but it's the difference between a deck that needs rebuilding in a decade and one that doesn't.

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 and Insured

We're licensed and insured for deck construction, and we can send certificates before work starts. If a ladder scratches your siding or a delivery truck rolls over the lawn, that's covered, not an argument.

Permits Handled

Brooklyn requires permits for most deck construction over a certain height or size, and we handle that filing instead of leaving it to you. We've dealt with the DOB process enough times to know what gets a plan rejected.

We Clean Up After

Deck framing throws off a lot of offcuts and packaging, and we bag it and haul it out at the end of each day, not just the end of the job. Your yard looks like a yard again, not a job site, by the time we're done.

Written Quotes

Every quote breaks down materials and labor separately, so you can see what the composite decking costs versus the framing. Change your mind on railing style halfway through and you'll get an updated number in writing, not a verbal guess.

On Schedule

Deck jobs get pushed around by weather more than most trades, but we build slack into the schedule instead of pretending rain doesn't happen. You'll know roughly when your yard is unusable and when it's yours again.

Local to Brooklyn

Working a deck onto a narrow Brooklyn lot with a shared fence line is different from a suburban backyard job, and we've done enough of them to know the tight spots. We also know which neighborhoods need co-op or landmark approval before a single post goes in.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about how we work and who's doing the work.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck construction has been the core focus for years of carpentry and framing experience, with decks requiring different structural knowledge than general home carpentry because of how much weather exposure and load they take on. That focus is why ledger flashing, footing depth and joist spacing get treated as non-negotiable rather than corners to cut.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Deck framing, decking installation and railing work are typically handled by the same crew from start to finish, rather than being split between different subcontractors for each stage. Having one crew see the job through means fewer handoff mistakes between framing and finish work.
Can I see examples of past deck work?
Photos of completed deck projects, including framing shots before the decking goes down, are usually available on request. Framing photos matter because they show what's happening structurally, which the finished deck won't reveal.
Why choose a smaller deck contractor over a large company?
A smaller deck contractor typically means the person quoting the job is also the person overseeing it on site, rather than a sales rep handing the project off to a crew they've never met. That usually means fewer miscommunications about material choices or design changes made mid-project.
Where are you based?
This deck contractor is based in Brooklyn and works throughout the borough and surrounding areas within roughly a 50-mile radius. Being local matters for deck work specifically because of how much Brooklyn's row house lots and rooftop access vary block to block.
How far out are you booking new deck projects?
Deck installation demand is highest in spring and early summer, so booking a few weeks to a couple months ahead during that window is typical. Fall and winter tend to have more open scheduling, and repair work can often be fit in faster than a full new build.
Do you clean up the job site every day?
Lumber offcuts, packaging and old decking debris are typically cleared from the property at the end of each work day, not left piled up until the job finishes. A deck project shouldn't leave a yard looking like a construction site for weeks at a time.
What happens if something gets damaged on my property during construction?
A licensed and insured deck contractor carries liability coverage for damage that happens during construction, whether that's a fence, siding or landscaping. Certificates of insurance should be handed over before work starts, not after something goes wrong.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started or abandoned?
Taking over a partially built deck is possible, but it usually starts with an inspection of the existing framing to check footing depth, joist spacing and connection hardware before adding anything on top. Work that doesn't meet code or looks unsafe gets flagged and often needs to be redone before the deck can be finished safely.
How can I tell the deck work is being done properly while it's happening?
Footings should be inspected before concrete gets poured, ledger boards should show flashing where they meet the house, and joist spacing should match the decking material's requirements, wider for wood and tighter for composite. Asking to see these steps before they're covered up by decking boards is a reasonable request on any deck project.
