More Than a Deck Contractor
Most deck builders focus on construction. We start with design. Every custom deck we build begins with a clear understanding of how you want to use your outdoor space—whether that means hosting family dinners, relaxing after work, or creating a seamless flow from inside to outside.
As a design-build firm, we handle everything in-house: initial planning, 3D design, material selection, permitting, and construction. The result is a deck that fits your home architecturally and functions the way you actually live.
- Designed around your home's architecture
- Built for how you actually use your space
- Premium materials with lasting durability
- One team from start to finish
Types of Custom Deck Projects
From simple platform decks to complex multi-level outdoor living spaces, we design and build decks that fit your property and goals.
Elevated Decks
Second-story and raised decks that extend your living space with proper structural support, stairs, and railing systems.
Ground-Level Decks
Low-profile decks that blend seamlessly with your yard, perfect for entertaining or relaxing at grade level.
Multi-Level Decks
Decks with distinct zones for dining, lounging, and gathering—connected by steps and transitions.
Covered Decks
Decks with integrated roof structures for year-round use, rain or shine.
Pool Decks
Decks designed around above-ground or in-ground pools with proper drainage and slip-resistant surfaces.
Entertaining Decks
Decks with dedicated cooking, dining, and lounging areas—designed for hosting.
Decking Material Options
We work with premium composite and wood decking materials, helping you choose based on appearance, maintenance, and budget.
Composite Decking
Composite decking combines wood fibers with synthetic materials for a low-maintenance surface that resists fading, staining, and scratching. It maintains a consistent appearance year after year without the need for staining or sealing.
- Low maintenance—no staining required
- Fade, stain, and scratch resistant
- 25-year limited warranties available
- Wide range of colors and textures
- Higher upfront cost, lower lifetime cost
Brands we work with: Trex and Deckorators
Why We Recommend Composite
While pressure-treated wood costs less upfront, composite decking delivers better long-term value. When you factor in annual staining, sealing, repairs, and replacement costs, composite often costs less over a 15-20 year period—with far less hassle.
- No annual staining or sealing required
- Won't splinter, warp, or rot over time
- Consistent color that won't fade or gray
- Resists mold, mildew, and insect damage
- 25-year warranties vs. 10-15 years for wood
Bottom line: Composite decking means more time enjoying your deck—and less time maintaining it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about custom deck projects in the Lehigh Valley.
How much does a custom deck cost in the Lehigh Valley?
Most custom deck projects range from $25,000 to $75,000+, depending on size, elevation, materials, and features. Ground-level decks typically start lower, while elevated decks with stairs, railings, and lighting fall on the higher end. We provide detailed estimates after an on-site consultation.
Why do you recommend composite decking over wood?
Composite decking requires no staining, won't splinter or rot, and maintains its appearance for decades. While it costs more upfront, most homeowners save money over 15-20 years when factoring in annual maintenance costs for wood decks. We work with Trex and Deckorators—both backed by 25-year warranties.
Do I need a permit for a new deck?
Yes, most municipalities in the Lehigh Valley require permits for new deck construction. We handle all permit applications, structural drawings, and inspections as part of our process.
Can a deck include a covered structure?
Absolutely. We design and build decks with integrated pergolas, roof extensions, and fully covered structures. These additions require additional engineering and permits, which we manage in-house.
How long does a custom deck project usually take?
Most deck projects take 2-4 weeks to build, depending on size and complexity. The full timeline—including design, permitting, and construction—typically runs 6-10 weeks from initial consultation to completion.
