The process

Footings first, finish last

Design, footprint & estimate

We shape the layout to your space and how you'll use it.

Permits & engineering as needed

Permitted and engineered where the design or elevation calls for it.

Footings, posts & framing

Solid footings and engineered posts — the part you never see but always feel.

Decking, rails & stairs

Decking, railings, and stairs built tight, level, and safe.

Cover or pergola structure

Patio covers and pergolas for shade and all-season use.

Seal, stain & final walkthrough

Sealed, stained, and walked through together before we call it done.

What the photos show

Built for the coast, priced to fit

From elevated beach-house decks to shaded patio covers, every build starts with solid footings and engineered posts, and ends with a final walkthrough. Wood and composite options are priced to fit the project — composite decking typically runs $40 to $80 per square foot.
