Deck & Patio Construction

Adding a deck or patio expands your living space, enhances curb appeal, and increases resale value. You’ll enjoy:

• A relaxing outdoor area for entertaining and dining
• Greater functionality for your yard or garden
• Potential energy savings by shading your home
• Long-term value from professional craftsmanship

Professional patio and deck construction services ensure your project is safe, durable, and built according to local building standards.

Popular materials for decks and patios include:

• Wood: Natural beauty and customizable finishes
• Composite decking: Low-maintenance and weather-resistant
• Concrete or pavers: Perfect for patios and outdoor kitchens
• Stone or brick: Adds timeless texture and durability

Each option offers unique advantages in appearance, cost, and maintenance. Use our deck material calculator to estimate costs and plan your project with confidence.

Most projects take between one and three weeks, depending on size, materials, and weather. Smaller patios or repairs may be completed in a few days, while large, custom decks or multi-level builds can take longer.

Yes! A lot of decks and patios can be restored without rebuilding.

• Minor wear: Sanding, staining, and sealing can refresh faded wood.
• Loose boards or cracked pavers: Easily replaced by our service professionals.
• Structural issues or rot: May require partial rebuilds to reinforce safety.

The best method to repair a patio depends on the material:

• Concrete patios: Fill small cracks with patching compound or resurface the slab for a smooth, even finish.
• Paver patios: Replace cracked or sunken stones, leveling the base sand underneath.
• Stone patios: Patch with mortar or reset individual stones for a consistent look.

Our deck construction service professionals can assess your patio and recommend the right solution for durability and appearance.

Start by cleaning it thoroughly with a pressure washer, then fill cracks with a patching compound. For uneven surfaces, a concrete resurfacer gives a refreshed, uniform look. Once dry, apply a sealer to protect the patio from moisture, stains, and UV damage.

If you have composite surfaces, follow best practices for cleaning composite decking to keep your deck looking like new.

Add built-in seating, lighting, or storage features to enhance your deck’s usability and style.

Consider waterproofing your deck to protect against moisture and weather. Adding a retractable awning for shade or weather protection can make your space even more enjoyable.

Insurance may cover deck or patio damage caused by storms, fire, or fallen trees, but it generally won’t cover normal wear, weathering, or lack of maintenance. Review your policy and document any damage with photos before starting any repairs.

When in doubt, contact your insurance provider for details about coverage limits and deductibles.
