One team, transparent pricing, materials that actually survive salt air and storms.
You want a deck that looks great next summer and still looks great five summers from now. That means choosing materials specifically rated for coastal conditions, not just whatever’s cheapest at the lumber yard.
When your deck is finished, you’ll have an outdoor space that actually matches how you live. Whether that’s morning coffee overlooking your property, weekend barbecues with friends, or a quiet place to unwind after work.
No callbacks for loose boards or premature weathering. No wondering if the contractor used the right fasteners for salt air. Just a deck that performs exactly like it should, year after year.
Atlantic Avenue Builders has been serving Millsboro and the Delaware beaches with custom carpentry that’s built to last. Owner Jeff brings years of local experience and understands exactly what works in coastal environments.
What started as a side project grew into a referral-driven business because clients appreciate straightforward communication and quality work. Jeff handles every project personally, so you’re not dealing with handoffs or wondering who’s actually building your deck.
Based in Lewes, we specialize in outdoor construction that performs well in Delaware’s coastal climate. Salt air, humidity, and storm conditions require specific materials and techniques that many contractors simply don’t understand.
Your project starts with an on-site consultation where Jeff evaluates your property, discusses your vision, and explains what materials and design approaches make sense for your specific situation. You’ll get transparent pricing upfront, not estimates that change once work begins.
During construction, you’ll know exactly what’s happening and when. Jeff communicates regularly about progress and any decisions that need your input. The same team that quotes your project builds it, so there’s no confusion or miscommunication between different crews.
Once your deck is complete, you’ll receive care instructions for your specific materials and know exactly how to maintain your investment. Jeff stands behind the work, so if any issues arise, you’re dealing with the same person who built it.
Ready to get started?
Your deck materials matter more than you might think, especially this close to the coast. Standard lumber and hardware that works fine inland can fail quickly when exposed to salt air and high humidity.
We select materials specifically for coastal performance. That means marine-grade fasteners that won’t corrode, lumber treatments that actually protect against moisture, and finishes that hold up to UV exposure and storm conditions.
You’ll also get design elements that make sense for your property and how you actually use outdoor space. Not cookie-cutter layouts, but thoughtful designs that consider traffic flow, privacy, views, and integration with your existing landscape and home architecture.
