Every job below is one we do ourselves across Coral Springs.
We frame new decks on concrete piers or helical piles sized for your soil and the load you'll actually put on it. Joists get hung with galvanized hangers, not just nailed in at an angle, and the ledger board is flashed and bolted into the house framing, not just the siding.
We fix sagging frames, soft or spongy boards, and railings that have started to wobble. Most of the repair calls we get trace back to a ledger board that was never flashed right, letting water get behind it and rot the rim joist.
Florida sun breaks down an unsealed deck fast, and we strip, sand and reseal wood decking to slow that down. We'll tell you straight if your boards are too far gone to save with a stain job instead of a rebuild.
We lay out stairs, railings and multi-level decks around how your yard actually slopes and how you use the space, not a stock plan. That includes checking sightlines to the pool cage and clearance under any second-story overhang.
Composite boards like Trex or TimberTech skip the yearly sanding and staining that wood decking requires. We still frame the substructure the same way, since composite doesn't fix a bad frame underneath it, it just sits on top of one.
We build railings to the 36-inch height and 4-inch baluster spacing the code requires, so it passes inspection and actually stops a toddler from squeezing through. Loose or leaning railings usually mean the posts weren't bolted through the rim joist in the first place.
Pool decks take more splash, chlorine and bare feet than a regular deck, so we pay attention to board spacing for drainage and a non-slip finish. We also keep the structure clear of the pool equipment pad and check setback requirements before we start.
If the frame underneath is still sound but the boards are cupped, cracked or gray, we can pull the decking and replace it without rebuilding the whole structure. It's a faster, cheaper fix than a full teardown when the joists and posts are still solid.
We frame and screen in decks to keep out no-see-ums and mosquitoes without losing the outdoor feel. This calls for a slightly different structural approach since the screen frame carries wind load an open railing wouldn't.
We tear out old, rotted or unsafe decks and haul off every board, screw and joist hanger. If you're replacing what's there, we can usually demo and start the new footings within the same week.
Four steps, and no surprises in any of them.
You tell us what you want doing, we look at what is actually there, and we ask the awkward questions early.
In writing, itemised, free. If something might add cost later we flag it now rather than at the end.
Same crew throughout. We cover your floors, keep the dust down and tidy up before we leave each day.
You point out anything you are not happy with and we fix it before the invoice, not after.
We bring the same crew and materials to every town on this list.
Questions that come up once a deck project is underway.
Describe the problem and we will tell you what it probably is. No obligation.
