Decks FAQs

What is the difference between composite and wood decking?

Composite requires less maintenance and resists rot, splinters, and fading. Wood has a classic look and can be stained or painted. We help you compare based on goals and budget.

Can a new deck be added to an existing patio?

Yes. We can design a deck that connects to or builds over a patio. This is common for raised transitions or improving uneven outdoor spaces.

Do all decks need a permit in Charlotte?

Most permanent decks require permits. We handle permitting and ensure every build meets or exceeds code requirements.

Can I add a pergola or screen room later?

Yes. We often design decks with future upgrades in mind. We can build the framing to support additional structures down the road.
