Who We Are

People Who Build Decks for Their Own Neighbors

We build and fix decks for homeowners in Bradenton and the towns around it. A lot of the calls we get aren't for a brand new deck, they're for one that's ten or fifteen years old and starting to show it: boards cupping, screws backing out, a ledger board held on with rusted nails. If that's where you're at, you're not alone, salt air and Florida humidity are hard on lumber. We can usually tell on a walkthrough whether a deck needs a few boards or a full rebuild.

We flash the ledger board properly where it meets the house, since that's the joint that lets water into the rim joist if it's skipped. We use stainless or coated fasteners instead of whatever's cheapest, because regular galvanized hardware corrodes fast this close to the Gulf. For framing we run joists on 12 or 16 inch centers depending on the decking you pick, tighter for composite than for wood. That's the difference between a deck that's still solid in five years and one that starts to bounce.

Reviews

What people said afterwards

5.0 from 100+ reviews
Our deck out in Bradenton had gone almost silver, hadn't been touched in years. They pressure washed it, let it dry a couple days, then sealed it and it looks like wood again instead of driftwood.

Had a joist near the ledger that was basically mush from water getting behind the siding. They caught it during the estimate walk, not after they'd started, which saved us a surprise bill.
Mike R.
Deck Repair · St. Petersburg, FL
We're just outside Palmetto and our old pine deck was splintering everywhere. Rain pushed the install back a few days but they called ahead each time, and the composite feels solid underfoot.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Common questions before booking a deck estimate.

How much does a deck cost in Bradenton?
A pressure-treated pine deck typically runs less per square foot than composite or cedar, with material choice, framing complexity, railing style and stairs being the biggest factors in the final number. A simple 200-square-foot platform deck costs far less than a multi-level deck with built-in seating and a pergola. A written estimate that breaks out materials and labor is the only reliable way to compare quotes.
Are deck builders in Florida licensed and insured?
Deck builders working in Florida should carry both a contractor license and general liability insurance, with certificates available on request before any work starts. Confirming both before a crew sets foot on the property is standard practice.
How soon can a deck project start?
Start dates depend on permit approval time through the county and current job backlog, which can range from a couple of weeks to over a month during busy season. Smaller repair jobs that don't need a permit can often be scheduled faster than a full new build.
What areas does a Bradenton deck builder typically cover?
Deck builders based in Bradenton typically serve a roughly 50-mile radius, covering towns like Sarasota, Palmetto, Parrish, Lakewood Ranch and Venice. Confirming a specific address is in range is worth doing before booking an estimate.
Do deck builders work on rentals and condos, or just single-family homes?
Deck contractors generally work on single-family homes, townhomes, and rental properties, though condo and HOA decks often require additional approval from the association before work begins. Rental property owners should check lease terms for any deck alteration restrictions.
Will a small job, like replacing a few boards, get taken on?
Most deck contractors take small repair jobs like board replacement or railing tightening, not just full installs. These smaller jobs are usually quicker to schedule since they don't require permitting in most Florida counties.
How do I get started on a deck project?
Calling or filling out a contact form to schedule a walkthrough is the first step, where the yard gets measured and the scope gets discussed in person. A written estimate typically follows within a few days of that visit.
What actually changes the price of a deck?
Decking material is the biggest swing, with composite running well above pressure-treated pine, followed by the height of the deck off the ground, since taller decks need more substantial footings and stairs. Custom features like built-in benches, multiple levels, or a pergola add material and labor cost on top of the base structure.
Is a deposit required before work starts?
Most deck contractors ask for a deposit before ordering materials, with the balance due at completion or in stages tied to project milestones. Payment terms should be spelled out clearly in the written estimate before any contract is signed.
What happens if it rains during a deck build?
Florida's afternoon thunderstorms are common enough that most deck schedules build in a few rain days, especially in summer. Concrete footing pours and staining get pushed to the next dry day rather than rushed, since both need dry conditions to cure or set properly.
