Strong, well-flashed decks in treated lumber, cedar and composite that pair naturally with a pergola or roof.
A deck and a pergola belong together. The deck gives you the floor, and the pergola gives you the shade. When they are designed as one project, the footings, rails, stairs and posts line up and the finished space feels planned, not pieced together.
We build new decks and rebuild worn ones in pressure-treated lumber, cedar and composite. We size joists and beams, set footings, flash the ledger carefully and fasten with hardware made for outdoor life. We plan rails, stairs, lights and the pergola posts together so the whole structure is strong and clean.
A deck is only as good as its frame. Proper joist spacing, beams and footings keep the floor flat and solid for years.
Where a deck meets the house is the most critical point. Correct flashing and fasteners keep water out of the wall and the deck secure.
Treated lumber is economical, cedar is warm and composite resists staining and splintering. We help you balance appearance, upkeep and budget.
Pergola posts on a deck need to tie into the framing below, not just the boards. We plan blocking and posts to carry wind and weight.
