If you're thinking about adding a new deck to your home but aren’t sure where to begin, you're not alone. A lot of homeowners know they want a great outdoor space — they just don’t know what the first step is, or what the process actually looks like.

That’s where we come in.

As a full-service design-build firm, we handle every part of the process — from that first idea to the final inspection. Whether you have a clear vision or just a sense that it’s time to upgrade your backyard, we’ll help you make it happen with a smooth, stress-free experience.

Let’s take a look at how the entire process works — from the first conversation to the finished deck.

Just Reach Out — We’ll Take It From There

You don’t need to have drawings, measurements, or even a fully formed idea to get started. The first step is simply reaching out — either by filling out our contact form or giving us a call. From there, our customer service team will follow up to schedule your complimentary initial consultation.

That first appointment is all about understanding what you’re looking for: How do you want to use the space? What kind of feel do you want your backyard to have? Do you have specific features or styles in mind?

We’ll talk through your goals, your timeline, and any ideas you’ve been kicking around. This is a low-pressure conversation — no commitments, no expectations — just a chance to explore what’s possible and start laying the groundwork for something great.

The Design Phase: Where Vision Meets Planning

Once we’ve had that initial conversation and you’re ready to move forward, we’ll collect a design deposit and officially kick off the design phase. This is where things start to take shape — and where your ideas begin turning into a real, buildable plan.

Over the next few weeks (sometimes up to two months, depending on the complexity of the project), our in-house design team gets to work crafting a custom deck that’s tailored to your home, your goals, and your lifestyle. We consider things like how you’ll use the space day to day, where the sun hits your yard, how traffic will flow, and what kinds of materials will hold up best in your environment.

We also plan for the big picture. If you have ideas for a pool, a hot tub, a future covered space, or any other outdoor additions down the line, now’s the time to tell us. We’ll incorporate those into the design — even if they won’t be built right away — so your deck can grow with you. Most designers don’t think that far ahead, but we believe good design should make room for what’s next.

Once the design is ready, we’ll schedule a presentation in our showroom. You’ll get to see a 3D rendering of your actual backyard, complete with the proposed layout, features, and materials. This is your chance to walk through the vision with us, make any changes, and fine-tune the details before construction begins.

We Work Around You — Not the Other Way Around

Some homeowners love being part of every step — choosing materials, weighing layout options, or bringing their own inspiration to the design. Others prefer to hand things off and let our team run with it.

We’re completely comfortable with both.

Our designers and project managers know how to collaborate when you want input, and take the lead when you’d rather step back. Either way, you’ll always know what’s happening and where your project stands. We make sure the experience fits your level of involvement — not the other way around.

It’s your home, your deck, and your vision. We’re just here to bring it to life in the way that works best for you.

From Permits to Products: We’ve Got You Covered

Once your design is finalized and approved, we take care of everything needed to bring it to life. That includes handling all the permitting, inspections, and behind-the-scenes logistics — so you don’t have to worry about paperwork or red tape.

As a full-service design-build firm, you won’t need to coordinate with outside architects, juggle multiple contractors, or manage your own timeline. We’re your single point of contact from start to finish, which means better communication, smoother scheduling, and fewer surprises.

And when it comes to materials, we don’t cut corners. We partner with some of the best brands in the industry — including in-Lite, Infratech, Equinox, Azek, and more — to make sure your deck isn’t just beautifully designed, but built with products that perform and last.

Let’s Build Something That Lasts

Once the design is approved and permits are in place, it’s time to build — and this is where everything comes together. Our experienced crew handles construction with the same care and attention to detail that guided the design phase. You’ll be kept in the loop throughout the process, but you won’t need to manage a thing.

Every project is a little different, but our approach stays the same: clear communication, dependable scheduling, and a focus on quality. Whether you’re adding simple deck space or incorporating lighting, heating, or custom structures, we work with trusted materials and experienced tradespeople to bring your vision to life the right way.

From the first sketch to the final inspection, we’re here to make sure your new deck is built right — on time, on budget, and tailored to your life.

Whether you’re ready to get started now or just exploring your options, we’re here to help. Reach out, and let’s talk about what’s possible in your backyard.
