Deck Builder Long Island — Custom Wood & Composite Decks

A composite deck resurfacing service on Long Island typically costs 40–60% less than a full deck replacement. If your existing frame (joists, ledger board, posts) is structurally sound, we remove the old decking boards and install new composite decking — Trex Transcend, TimberTech Azek, or similar — on the existing frame. For a standard 300 sq ft Long Island deck, composite resurfacing runs $6,000–$11,000 depending on the composite brand chosen and whether railings need replacement. We do a free frame inspection first: we check the ledger connection, joist spacing, post footings, and beam condition before quoting. If we find structural issues, we quote repair options so you can decide. Composite deck resurfacing service on Long Island includes permit coordination in Nassau or Suffolk County, removal and disposal of old boards, and our 5-year workmanship warranty. Most resurfacing projects complete in 3–5 days after permit approval.

Yes — in nearly every Nassau and Suffolk municipality, attached decks over 30 inches off grade or any deck with a roof/patio attached require a building permit. We pull every permit ourselves, included in the quote. You never visit a town hall.

A wood deck on Long Island typically costs $8,500–$20,000 for a standard 12×16 or 16×20 pressure-treated deck, fully installed. Cedar runs $12,000–$18,000. Composite (Trex/Azek) runs $15,000–$30,000 for the same footprint. Long Island prices run 20–30% above national averages due to labor rates and permit costs.

Yes. Nassau County requires building permits for any attached deck and most freestanding decks over 200 sq ft or 30 inches off grade. Nassau permit fees run $250–$800 depending on the municipality — Town of Hempstead, Town of Oyster Bay, and incorporated villages each set their own fees. We handle every filing and inspection; you never visit a building department.

Yes. Suffolk County municipalities require permits for attached decks and for freestanding decks over a certain size threshold. Suffolk permit fees run $150–$500 depending on town — Town of Huntington, Town of Babylon, Town of Islip, and Town of Smithtown each have their own requirements. We pull every permit in-house.

Pressure-treated pine is cheaper upfront — typically $8,500–$20,000 installed versus $15,000–$25,000 for Trex composite at the same size. But over a 15-year period, pressure-treated requires sealing every 2–3 years ($300–$600 per treatment) and often full replacement by year 20. Trex requires only an annual pressure wash. Most Long Island homeowners who plan to stay 10+ years find composite cheaper long-term.

A standard 300 sq ft composite deck takes 2–3 weeks from permit approval: 2–3 days demolition, 3–5 days framing and footings, 3–4 days decking and railings, 1 day final walk-through. Add 8–18 business days for permit approval (Nassau runs faster than Suffolk). We give a firm timeline before we start.

Yes — we work across all of Long Island. Nassau jobs include Garden City, Massapequa, Wantagh, Bethpage, Hicksville, Merrick, and Levittown. Suffolk jobs include Huntington, Smithtown, Commack, Bay Shore, Babylon, and Northport. Same crew, same warranty, same permit process.

For South Shore Long Island homes (Merrick, Bellmore, Wantagh, Seaford, Long Beach) and North Shore waterfront properties, Azek's 100% PVC construction holds up better against salt air and moisture. Azek absorbs zero water — Trex composite has a small moisture expansion factor that matters more in high-humidity, salt-air environments. For inland Nassau and Suffolk, Trex Transcend is excellent and slightly more budget-friendly.

Yes. If your deck frame is structurally sound (joists, ledger, posts are solid), we can resurface by removing the old boards and installing new composite decking on the existing frame. This typically costs 40–60% less than a full deck replacement. We do a free frame inspection to tell you which route makes more sense.

A 300 sq ft composite deck typically takes 2–3 weeks from permit approval: 2–3 days for demolition, 3–5 days for framing and footings, 3–4 days for decking and railings, and 1 day final walk-through. We give a firm schedule before we start.

All three are capped composite or PVC decking with 25-year fade and stain warranties. Trex (Enhance and Transcend lines) has the widest color range and our most common recommendation. TimberTech AZEK is 100% PVC — slightly lighter, slightly more expensive, best for salt-air coastal homes. Azek (same parent as TimberTech) has a premium multi-tonal finish. We install all three and match to your goals.

Yes — we build composite pool decks (Trex, TimberTech), travertine, and paver pool decks. For in-ground pools we coordinate with your pool contractor on coping, bond beam, and drainage. We also re-surface existing pool decks that are cracked or uneven.

Yes — deck + patio combos are one of our most common projects. Upper composite deck off the back door, lower paver or travertine patio extending into the yard. One crew, one permit cycle, one integrated design. It's almost always less expensive than doing them separately.

Composite boards carry 25-year fade and stain warranties from Trex and TimberTech. Our workmanship warranty is 5 years on every project. Mahogany and cedar decks come with our workmanship warranty plus the natural lifespan of the wood when finished properly. All in writing.
