An outdoor space designed around the way you live
A well-built deck extends your home's living space outdoors. It gives far more than a flat platform — done properly, it becomes a place for entertaining, relaxing, dining, and enjoying Connecticut's long, warm seasons.
The difference between a deck that lasts decades and one that erodes in a few years is in the details that are invisible once the surface is down: sound footings, correct framing, proper flashing, adequate structural connections, and material selection matched to the New England climate.
As a custom deck builder in Newtown CT, we design and construct decks that integrate with your architecture, your lot, and the way you actually use your outdoor space — not a generic structure bolted to the back of the house.

Composite vs. wood decking
Your decking choice shapes the look, the maintenance, and the long-term performance of your project. Here's how we help you choose.
Composite Decking
Composite decking combines wood fibers with recycled plastic to create a low-maintenance surface with the appearance of wood. Lines from premium manufacturers such as Trex, Deckorators, and MoistureShield offer a wide range of colors and finishes.
- Resists rot, splintering, and moisture damage
- No annual staining or sealing required
- Consistent color and texture across the surface
- Available in picture-frame borders and hidden fasteners
Pressure-Treated Wood
Pressure-treated lumber is a time-tested, cost-effective choice for classic wood decks. With proper maintenance and staining, wood decks develop a warm, natural character that many homeowners prefer.
- Lower initial cost than composite
- Natural wood grain and appearance
- Renewable and easy to repair or refinish
- Familiar, classic look for Connecticut homes
We work with a range of premium decking, framing, and railing products, including Trex, Deckorators, MoistureShield, and Fortress. We'll help you weigh upfront cost against long-term maintenance so the choice fits your budget and your lifestyle.
Deck railing & lighting options
Railings and lighting turn a functional deck into a finished outdoor room. From sleek cable railing to composite railings that match your decking, every safety component can also contribute to the design.
Cable Railing
Minimal, unobstructed views with stainless cable infill — a modern choice for decks overlooking a yard or vista.
Composite Railing
Durable, low-maintenance railing systems that coordinate with composite or wood decking for a cohesive look.
Deck Lighting
Post-cap lights, stair lights, and under-rail lighting add safety and extend the hours your deck is usable into the evening.
Built-In Seating & Storage
Built-in benches and planters make the space comfortable and complete, designed as part of the deck rather than added later.
If it's not safe, we start again the right way
Many decks that appear fine on the surface are compromised beneath it — undersized footings, over-spanned joists, failed ledger connections, or wood that has rotted around the posts. We evaluate every component before deciding whether to repair, reinforce, or rebuild.
When we rebuild, we address the structure first: proper footings set below frost line, correctly spaced framing, secure connections to the house, and a durable deck-to-house attachment that resists moisture. Deck replacements and expansions are brought fully up to current Connecticut code.
- Full structural evaluation of existing conditions
- Ledger, footing, and framing inspection
- Rebuilds that meet today's code requirements
- Drainage systems beneath decks to keep the space dry

Final Walkthrough & Handoff
How much does a custom deck cost?
The cost of a custom deck depends on size, material choice, site conditions, height above grade, railings, lighting, and features like built-in seating. Footings and structural requirements in Connecticut can vary significantly lot to lot.
Rather than quoting a one-size-fits-all price, we review your site and your goals and provide a detailed, itemized proposal. Financing your deck project is available through Synchrony for qualifying homeowners, with flexible terms on larger projects.

Custom deck FAQ
How long does it take to build a custom deck?
Most custom decks take two to four weeks to build once construction begins, depending on size, complexity, footings, and permit timing. We provide a realistic schedule after the design is finalized.
Do you handle building permits?
Yes. For Connecticut projects that require permitting, we prepare and submit the plans, coordinate the permit, and schedule the required inspections. We build to code and keep documentation organized.
Should I choose composite or pressure-treated decking?
Both are excellent choices for different reasons. Pressure-treated wood is cost-effective and offers a natural look when stained. Composite decking (Trex, Deckorators, MoistureShield) offers lower maintenance and longer surface life. We'll recommend based on your budget, use, and design.
Can you rebuild or expand an existing deck?
Yes. We replace unsafe or aging structures and expand existing decks, bringing them up to current code. We assess footings, framing, and ledger connections before reworking the deck.
