Dilworth Deck Builder

Dilworth is Charlotte's original streetcar suburb, and its Craftsman bungalows and foursquares deserve better than a bolted-on builder deck. We design decks and porches that respect the proportions of a 1920s house — deeper than they are wide where the lot demands it, with railing profiles and skirting that look like they belong on the home rather than fighting it.

Part of Dilworth sits inside a Charlotte Local Historic District, which means exterior changes visible from the street can require a Certificate of Appropriateness before a permit is issued. Most rear decks sit outside that review or clear it with the right drawings, but it's exactly the kind of detail you want your contractor to know before demolition day. We flag it in the first site visit and handle the Charlotte-Mecklenburg permitting either way.

City lots here are compact, often with a detached garage and mature trees, so we plan builds tightly — where materials stage, how crews access the backyard, and how to protect plantings your garden has spent decades growing. The result is an outdoor room a short walk from East Boulevard that still feels like Dilworth.
