For those who prefer the warmth of real wood, we build with pressure-treated pine and rot-resistant cedar, finished to endure South Carolina’s climate. We help you choose based on looks, maintenance, and longevity, so your deck looks great year after year—whether it’s in Melrose Heights or just off Devine Street.

Covered Decks, Screened Porches & Backyard Retreats
We go beyond decks. Our Columbia team designs and builds pergolas, covered patios, screened-in porches, and sunrooms that extend your living space into the outdoors. These structures provide shade, airflow, and insect protection—perfect for warm nights and sticky summer days. Popular in areas like The Vista and Olympia-Granby, our add-ons help homeowners enjoy South Carolina’s outdoors without the bugs, sunburns, or sudden rain.
