What Our Customer Say About Us

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my deck needs structural upgrades?
Look for sagging, cracked boards, or shaky railings. If you’re unsure, we can inspect and advise on the best approach.
Absolutely. Many upgrades can be made to existing structures, as long as the framing is sound—or we can reinforce it.
Yes. From smart switches to full-home integration, we can customize your deck lighting for convenience and control.
Solid wood panels or composite skirting tend to hold up best, especially when installed with proper ventilation and ground clearance.
Some upgrades may require permits, especially structural changes. We handle that process for you, so you don’t have to worry.
