Specialized Deck Construction

A deck should respond to your property’s grade, access, and how your family uses the space, not force every home into the same rectangle.

  • Multi-Level Decks: Connected levels that handle slopes, elevation changes, and separate living zones.
  • Swim and Spa Decks: Layouts designed for comfort, safe footing, and easy access to the water.
  • Pool Decks: Surfaces built for water exposure, foot traffic, and lounging.
  • Curved Decks: Flowing lines that break from the standard rectangle.
  • Rooftop Decks: Elevated outdoor space for homes where the best view is above the roofline.

Give Your Old Deck a Second Life

An older deck can often be updated instead of replaced. Remodeling and resurfacing give a worn deck a new surface and a refreshed look.

  • Deck Resurfacing: Replace worn decking with composite when the existing structure is sound.
  • Deck Remodeling: Update the layout, railing, lighting, or skirting.
  • Full Replacement: Build new when the existing structure cannot support the work.

Deck Inlays, Patterns, and Custom Designs

Inlays and patterns add detail and personality to the surface and give the deck a finished look.

  • Inlays: Contrasting boards and shapes set into the deck surface.
  • Patterns: Board layouts that add direction and definition.
  • Custom Designs: Details planned around your home and your preferences.

The Details That Finish Your Deck

The details around the deck affect how it looks at night, how private it feels, and how well it works with your yard.

  • Railing: Black aluminum, white PVC, and cable options.
  • Lighting: Step, riser, cap, and other low-voltage lighting.
  • Privacy Features: Privacy fencing and screening built into the deck.
  • Under-Deck Systems: Dry space and drainage that turn the area below an elevated deck into usable space.
  • Skirting: A clean finish around the base of the deck.

Custom Deck Contractor FAQs

What does a deck builder do?
A deck builder plans, designs, and constructs your deck around your home, property grade, access, and how you plan to use the space. Prime Home Improvement acts as your deck designer and deck contractor, coordinating design, material selection, permits, construction, and inspections, so the design you approve is the deck that gets built.
We build with Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators composite decking. Composite does not need staining or sealing and resists splintering and rot. We help you compare options based on your home, appearance, and maintenance expectations.
Sometimes. Resurfacing replaces the visible decking while keeping the existing frame, which works when the structure is sound and suitable for the new materials. If the structure cannot support the work, you may need a larger repair or rebuild. We review your deck during the free estimate.
It depends on size, design, materials, permits, and weather. Many deck-only projects take about a week of construction, and a deck with a patio takes longer. We build year-round, and planning in the colder months can help you secure a build slot before the spring rush. Your proposal includes a clear timeline.
We manage the applicable permits and inspections for your project, and we can help you prepare for HOA review. Requirements vary by city and township.
Prime Home Improvement stands behind its workmanship. If something related to our work needs correcting, we come back and take care of it. Manufacturer warranties on Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators products are separate and vary by product line. We explain what applies to your materials during your consultation.
