Our Story

How we ended up doing this

We build and repair decks, and most of the people who call us have a deck with a specific problem: a board that gives when you step on it, a railing that moves, stairs that feel off. We got into this trade because framing and outdoor carpentry are the kind of work where you can see exactly what you built, and exactly how long it holds up.

If you're on this page, there's a good chance you're worried about rot you can see or movement you can feel, and wondering if the whole deck needs to go. Usually it doesn't. We pull up the decking, check the joists and the ledger board where it bolts to the house, and replace what's actually failed instead of the whole structure, so the fix holds instead of just hiding the problem for another year.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

You're covered if something goes wrong on the job, not just hoping it doesn't. Ask for certificates and we'll send them before work starts.

Code-Compliant Builds

A deck that passes inspection the first time saves you the headache of redoing work later. We pull permits where they're required and build to the spacing and height rules for railings and stairs.

Clean Jobsite

We sweep up fasteners and offcuts at the end of each day, not just at the end of the job. A deck project shouldn't leave your lawn worse than the deck itself.

Written Quotes

No verbal estimate that changes once lumber prices do. You see the cost of footings, framing, decking, and railing as separate line items.

Scheduling You Can Count On

Deck jobs get delayed by rain more than almost any other trade, so we build buffer time into the schedule instead of pretending weather won't happen. You'll know ahead of time if a storm is going to push the timeline.

Material Options

Composite costs more up front but requires almost no upkeep. Pressure-treated pine costs less but has to be restained every couple of years, and we'll walk through real numbers for each so you can pick what fits your budget.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who's doing the work and how we operate.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck construction and repair is the sole focus of the work done, rather than one service among many home improvement trades. That focus means time goes into footings, framing, and railing work specifically, not spread across unrelated jobs.
Do you use your own crew or subcontract the work?
Deck construction is handled by a dedicated crew rather than subcontracted out to a different company. That keeps the same people accountable from the footings to the final railing.
Can I see examples of past deck work?
Photos of completed deck projects, including framing shots taken before the decking goes on, are available on request. Seeing the framing stage matters more than the finished photos, since that's where the quality of a deck actually gets decided.
Why hire a dedicated deck builder instead of a general contractor?
A dedicated deck builder deals with footing depth, joist spans, ledger flashing, and railing code on every single job, while a general contractor might build one deck a year among kitchens and additions. That repetition is what catches problems like an undersized beam or a ledger board that isn't flashed correctly.
Where is the deck construction business based?
Deck construction and repair work is based in Conway, Arkansas, with most jobs falling within about a 50-mile radius of town. That range covers nearby towns like Greenbrier, Vilonia, and Searcy.
How far in advance do I need to book a deck project?
Spring and early summer fill up fastest for deck construction, so booking a few weeks to a couple months ahead during that stretch is reasonable. Fall and winter typically have more open scheduling, and footings can still be poured as long as the ground isn't frozen.
Do you clean up the jobsite after finishing a deck?
Lumber scraps, sawdust, and pulled fasteners get cleared from the yard at the end of each work day, not left until the project wraps. A magnetic sweep for stray nails and screws happens before the job is called finished, since those end up in bare feet otherwise.
What happens if something on my property gets damaged during deck work?
Insurance coverage carried on deck construction work covers accidental damage to a house, fence, or landscaping during the job. Any damage gets reported and addressed directly rather than left for the homeowner to deal with afterward.
Will you finish a deck another contractor started or abandoned?
Yes, taking over a partially built deck is possible, though it starts with an inspection of what's already up, since framing from a different builder isn't always trustworthy. Footings and ledger attachment get checked first, since those are the two things most likely to be done wrong and hardest to fix once decking is on top.
How can I tell if the framing on my deck was done correctly?
Correct deck framing means joists spaced consistently, usually 16 inches on center, a ledger board lag-bolted or through-bolted into the house rim joist with flashing above it, and footings that don't rock or shift when pushed. Asking to see the framing before the decking boards go down, or asking for photos if it's already built, is the clearest way to check.
