Natural Beauty, Built to Last in South Carolina

Wood Deck Building (Cedar & Pressure-Treated)

Simple, Strong & Naturally Beautiful

Why Wood Decks Still Lead in Style and Value

Wood remains one of the most cost-effective and customizable decking options available. Pressure-treated pine is budget-friendly and rot-resistant, while cedar offers unmatched grain and color — with natural oils that resist insects and decay. We use top-grade materials, kiln-dried for stability and treated for long-term performance. With proper sealing and care, a wood deck can deliver decades of use and beauty.

Real Wood. Real Craftsmanship.

What’s Included in Our Wood Deck Builds

Our wood decks are fully site-built — no kits or shortcuts. We handle all framing, footings, stair construction, and finish work using solid lumber and stainless or coated fasteners. Every cut, joint, and post is installed with structural integrity and code compliance in mind. Whether it’s a cozy backyard platform or a wraparound porch, your wood deck will be built to handle daily life and seasonal extremes.

How We Build Wood Decks That Last in SC

Humidity, hurricanes, and heat can break down poorly built wood decks fast. That’s why we use ground-contact-rated lumber, strong joist spans, and moisture-resistant fasteners. We design for airflow and drainage, then finish your deck with quality stains or sealers to protect it from the elements. From soil to surface, we build every piece with South Carolina’s environment in mind.

Classic Looks. Local Craftsmanship.

We Build Wood Decks the Right Way — No Shortcuts

Some contractors still cut corners with thin boards, surface-only fasteners, or kits that don't fit your property. We don’t. Our decks are framed on-site, fully secured, and custom-trimmed for a clean, finished look. From notched post details to smooth stair treads, you’ll notice the difference in every board. Real wood deserves real craftsmanship — and that’s what we deliver.
