What's Included in Your Project

Your deck project includes custom design work that makes sense for your specific property and how you plan to use the space. Material selection focuses on coastal durability – what actually performs well in Delaware’s climate conditions.

All permit work and code compliance gets handled properly. You’re not dealing with inspection issues or having to redo work that wasn’t done right the first time.

Construction includes proper foundation work, framing that accounts for coastal conditions, and finishing details that look intentional. The job site stays clean throughout the process, and you get a deck that’s built to handle whatever weather Delaware throws at it.

How long does a typical deck installation take in Georgetown?

Most custom deck projects in Georgetown take 1-2 weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect timeline since we won’t compromise quality for speed. You’ll know the expected schedule upfront, and we keep you updated if anything changes. The key is proper planning and having all materials on site before we start, which eliminates most delays that frustrate homeowners with other contractors.

What materials work best for decks in Delaware's coastal climate?

Composite decking and pressure-treated lumber with proper coastal ratings perform best here. We avoid materials that look good in showrooms but fail in salt air and humidity. The frame needs galvanized or stainless fasteners – regular screws and nails corrode quickly near the coast. We’ll recommend specific materials based on your budget and maintenance preferences, but everything we use is chosen for long-term coastal performance, not just initial appearance.

Do you handle permits for deck construction in Georgetown?

Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections for Georgetown deck projects. Most decks over a certain size or height require permits, and getting this wrong creates expensive headaches later. We know Georgetown’s specific requirements and have relationships with local inspectors. The permit cost is included in your project estimate, so there are no surprise fees. You don’t have to deal with paperwork or inspection scheduling – we handle that part of the process.

What's the difference between your pricing and cheaper deck contractors?

Cheaper contractors often cut corners on materials, skip proper foundation work, or use subcontractors who may not show up consistently. Our pricing reflects coastal-grade materials, proper construction methods, and having the same experienced team handle your entire project. You’re paying for work that won’t need repairs in two years and communication that doesn’t leave you guessing. Most homeowners find the peace of mind and long-term durability worth the difference in upfront cost.

Can you build decks that connect to existing structures?

Absolutely. Connecting new decks to existing homes, porches, or other structures is common in Georgetown. The key is proper flashing and structural connections that won’t create water damage or safety issues. We assess your existing structure first to ensure it can handle the additional load and weather exposure. Sometimes this requires reinforcement work, which we’ll identify upfront. The goal is a seamless connection that looks intentional and performs well long-term.

What maintenance will my new deck require?

Maintenance depends on material choice, but we design every deck to minimize upkeep requirements. Composite decking needs occasional cleaning but no staining or sealing. Pressure-treated wood requires periodic staining to maintain appearance and protection. We’ll give you a specific maintenance schedule based on your materials and local conditions. The key is using quality materials and proper construction techniques upfront, which dramatically reduces ongoing maintenance compared to decks built with shortcuts.
