Weatherproof construction, transparent pricing, and one team from quote to final nail.
You want a deck that actually lasts in this coastal environment. Not something that looks good for six months then starts warping, fading, or falling apart when the salt air hits it.
That’s exactly what you get here. Decks designed specifically for Delaware’s coastal conditions, using materials chosen for performance, not just appearance. Every board, every fastener, every detail planned to handle what Mother Nature throws at it.
No surprises, no drama, no wondering if your contractor will show up tomorrow. Just straightforward construction that gives you the outdoor space you’ve been planning, built to handle decades of coastal weather, family gatherings, and everything else you’ll throw at it.
We’ve been serving Dewey Beach and the Delaware coastal communities for years, specializing in custom decks, docks, and outdoor living spaces. Led by owner Jeff, a seasoned craftsman with deep local roots, we’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
What started as a side project from a fishing charter has grown into a referral-driven business known for reliability, clear communication, and results that last. Every project gets the same attention to detail, whether it’s a simple deck addition or a complex multi-level outdoor living space.
Based in Lewes, DE, we understand exactly what it takes to build structures that thrive in coastal conditions while meeting Delaware’s building codes and permit requirements.
First, you get a clear consultation where we discuss your vision, your space, and your budget. No vague estimates or “we’ll figure it out later” conversations. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs before any work begins.
Next comes the design phase, where we create a custom plan that fits your lifestyle and your property. This isn’t about forcing a cookie-cutter solution onto your space – it’s about building something that feels intentional and works the way you live.
Then construction begins with the same team that gave you the quote. No handoffs to subcontractors you’ve never met. The people who promised you results are the same people who deliver them, keeping you informed every step of the way until your deck is complete and ready for years of coastal living.

Every deck project includes materials specifically chosen for coastal performance – not just what looks good in the showroom, but what actually holds up when salt air, humidity, and Delaware weather put it to the test. This means proper fasteners that won’t corrode, lumber that resists warping, and finishes that maintain their appearance season after season.
You also get construction techniques designed for local conditions. Proper drainage, appropriate spacing for expansion and contraction, and foundation work that accounts for coastal soil conditions. These details might not be visible in the finished product, but they’re what separate a deck that lasts from one that becomes a headache.
Code compliance comes standard, ensuring your deck meets Delaware’s building requirements and passes inspection the first time. No delays, no surprises, no having to redo work because someone cut corners on the permits.
